How to get your Posky 777 VC gauges working

[N. Chapman]

they generally want to give people a choice of which model they want to use. some like wing views and some like the VC

[usapatriot]

They should just make one super model with various liveries. It would make things a lot simpler.

hello,
i have a problem.
i downloaded this:
FSX/FS2004 Boeing 777-200 - British Airways Landor

and followed the instructions , and it worked on my FSX demo version, but the problem was:
1- No 3D VC (just a 2D cockpit)
2- No sound

1: did you download the VC model for your plane?

2: download a 777 sound package from here or AVSIM

These are some basic instructions I helped another guy with. But all the instructions are in the readme files included with the downloads.

Well, first of all, decide which one you want. Wheather it be the british airways model, or the continental model. You decide.

Next, you will need to download one of the models. they are listed in sort of a confusing way so you will need to pay attention. I know you want the vc, so you will need to choose a model that has vc at the end of the title.

this is the one I used; OS772V2_GE90--L_VC model

THen, go to the panel section and download the vc panel sp1, and either of the texture files. THe 32 bit is if you have a pretty good computer with a good graphics card.

One you have all those, start arranging them into one main folder just like the default planes. You should have one folder that says the plane, like "posky 777 continental" This will have all the basics in it. Start putting the other parts in that folder like the panel. It will ask you to overwrite the original, say yes. And just do that for the other things. If you need reference, just look in the folder of a default plane to get an idea where things go. Once you get that sorted, give it a try and see if it shows in the sim. If it does, cool. Go and follow my instructions on getting the vc gauges working, and you will be all set.

Oh, and to top it off... I also download a realistic soundset for my planes. There are several good ones over at avsim for the GE90 for example. Just adds a bit more realism.

[ShaneG_old]

copy & paste the .cfg info in first post to the panel.cfg you downloaded.
