I also decide to release another upgrade this time for the default FSX747?


Starting by removing the LCD main screen gauges ,and putting another one much more realistic as the real 747 has in real life

the 747 does not have open close pilot windows as in real life but it will have the rain texture windshield wiper effects and GPWS too

I have had my hard time fixing some the old gauges

these are some of the new features

...

I was a little bit inspired by a payware which I'm not going to mention I'm trying to make most of the switches and buttons of the upper head panel to how ever making some of them are quite hard ,example the "Hydraulic demand buttons which are not shown in all Flight simulator variable codes and I don't know what to do in this case

  I don't need to hear about the payware ,all I can say I'm making a freeware that its more friendly to lower PC system ,the purpose of this cockpit its to improve the old
Useless
747 VC

also donation are helpful
Lips Sealed Grin



I made a nightmap so some of the features will bright once you switch on Panel light.
Its weird that many features in the original FSX747 doesn't EVEN came up with nightmap like the 737 did  Undecided

this pics will show what I have done to put some of the switches levers and buttoms to work ,THOSE WHO ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING AND REMAINS STILL ITS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DO

...

...

  Suggestions are welcome ,but no suggestion like why don't you make X buttom work? , try instead to help me what do I do according to the real aircraft ...in few words helping me

you wiill see a lot new features in the front panel and sides ,but this Upper panel has gave me a really hard time ,its very complex ,Of course before you said anything go to FSX and see the original NONE of this area works at all

thanks

Alex

That 747 pit from MS is one of their more underdeveloped cockpits. It'll be awesome to have a more comprehensive cockpit for the 747. I can't wait to finally be able to use the overhead panel in the ol' 747! Lookin good Alex!

I love the features you mention in the pictures. If you need a beta tester i can help if you want. I have a question: Can you make inside views o passenger area's with tv's and seats the can move and that kind of stuff. I usually get a bit bored when i'm on a autopilot flight!
 

No worries, be happy

actually they are not that hard jetprop , there are not movable (animations) things neither complex drawings ,Its easy it would take me a half of a day
I thought it also to include a cabin for the 737,(Pete was the one who suggest me that) I build a raw cabin and I start to see the drastic amount of poligon countdown,and then I decided not to include this I decided to see how the 737 upgraded cockpit was going to work for the people first      

   more poligon ,more weight into system ,memory ram video ram =less frame rates

due that the purpose of the upgrades its to fix and improve I would leave both cabins (747,747) for a future updates ,like and additions ,but it wont be in their releases    Wink

Nice to know that it gives you slow FPS, i don't have the best PC ever so i rather use a beautiful VC with good FPS then a nice VC and a cabin and bad FPS!!  Wink Wink Wink

Hi again Alejandro,

I made the first tests of the cockpit. Things went relatively well I have to say, but I'll need more time to do more tests. So far, the only issues I have spotted are:
- the APU makes no noise, there is no way to tell if it's running or not ? (no light, no indication...)
- the left wiper texture looks strange, the right one looks good.
- the hydrolic switches (hyd and hyd demand) are functionnal, but I have no idea what they are supposed to do
- if the default flight has mixture set to zero, the engines won't start (engine starter will spin forever but engines won't start until CTRL+F4 is pressed).
- the taxi lights are not visible on the external model
- the NAV lights are activated only with the Landing Lights swich (Nav Lights buttons have no effect).

For the lights issues, I supposed it's a problem with the external model right ? And since you edit only the VC, probably you won't be able to fix that. However your VC on another 747 might work properly Smiley
I'll try to provide more detailled feedback in the coming days.
