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

I personally don't fly heavies but I do fly regionals like your 737 and MD-83 sometimes.
I think it will be amazing!

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 need TUBES fans (Large commercial airplanes) as a betatestings (you are already included Andy) but also I need those fans who knows a little bit of these to test some of the features

please those who knows a little bit of this and are interest to test this cockpit send me a PM

I wonder ...where is Stephane? (daube)

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!

I can understand that, it was just a suggestion  . But Alrot if you need me for testing, i would be very pleased to help you out!! 

Realy?
Well,then again,a pyramid is complicated for me.

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
I'll try to provide more detailled feedback in the coming days.

EDITED

I don't understand this Steph..do you have a way to fix this? is this can be fix in the aircraft.cfg?    --->help

remember I'm just working in the cockpit only, the issue of lack of some of the lights  are in the external model which I'm not working ,I'm sure If it doesn't work in the default 747 exterior model the Nav light it will work in a model that has a split landing and taxi lights

Andy ,I will add it in a future release ,to make like a double type of installation will complicate the things
I will send you the second beta maybe even the final before its release ,I'm trying to solve few things Daube saids to then Upload it YOU will check it too then it will be release

I was expecting such an answer for the light problems. Indeed this seems to be linked to the external model, so the default 747 model won't be fixabe, but another model with correct light specification will work properly

Concerning the mixture, I made a mistake: it's not CTRL+F4, it's CTRL+SHIFT+F4, to set the mixture to 100%. It's no big deal really, I just need to make a new default flight in cold and dark but with engine mixture set to 100%. Then my jets will start normally. I don't think you need to do anything about this.

Alejandro, if you are ok with that, I'm going to create a topic on a french forum to ask questions about the various switches on the overhead panel.
Let me know if it's fine for you

Got it
Normally, I should have some time to test tonight.

no I just copy from the 737 read me file,i thought I fix the whole thing ,no it wont has reverse ,there's also other thing that I think it might has to be fix   

the wipers are too high its kind of in the middle of the view 

andy190 wrote on Jul 17^th, 2012 at 9:54pm:


I don't think is nessesary ,I just took the 737 and modified to the 747

Oh yeah ,Did you know that this cockpit did not came with lightmap?? Now it has it 

also take a look what

used to be

decoration this



make a crazy bank angles or drop the plane to the ground like if you were to crash it ,things like that

Also remember that it came with only two seats ,now like the real one has 4 ,Did you touch the rightside of the pilot seat? remember that the thing were you put your arm wont allow to see the radio?? 

there are many surprises hiding around there
