New 737-800 Cockpit in the POSKY 737-700 Package

Postby liamp51 » Wed Feb 15, 2012 10:31 pm

Hi all,

I just downloaded the beautiful default 737-800 cockpit improvement package and love it; but I have one question. Is it possible to use it in the POSKY 737-700 aircraft since they use the same cockpit? I really want those extra features, but when I tried installing it into the POSKY 737, there was an error saying FSX couldn't load the external model. Has anybody else gotten it to work?

Thanks!

Check the content of the model.cfg file. The name of the exterior model is surely wrong.

I think Posky doesn't make FSX-SDK models ,I believe must be FS2004 SDK compilation FS9 and FSX Compilations does not work that way

Alejandro, I believe PoSky have created one or two FSX native models, shortly before they dissappeared. Their 737 might be one of them.
It could be worth a shot to adapt your cockpit to this PoSky 737. The only thing that might have to be modified would be the virtual cockpit position compared to the center of the model. Since Posky's 737 might be shorter than the default 737 model, the vc might end in the wrong place.

Posky models were nice, but Posky website was one of the most terrible I've ever seen. Downloading a single plane was a challenge !

Thanks for the test !
Did you also check the position of the VC compared to the position of the cockpit in the external view ?

Yes.  I used this Views entry in Aircraft.cfg.

[Views]
eyepoint = 42.5, -1.55, 1.9   

It might vary with the model.

I'm not sure Posky did an FSX native model of the 737-700. If you give me a link I'll check it out.

Would be a dream come true if the new upgraded VC could be added to some Posky models (those that allow such with regards to compatibility) and uploaded here for us dummies who cannot help our self.

Please Alrot?  :D
