OK, sorry if this is the wrong cat., Spare me eno!!, or ozzy, whoever sees this.  anyway, the iFly 747-4 for FSX only has one texture that is actually showing up.  Anyone got any ideas??  OR a way to get ahold  of iFly.
Thanksss Grin Grin

You might need to select 'show all variations'.  I have them all on here, in fact I got rid of some, their were so many.  The problem here is getting the FMC to accept a pre built flight plan of any description.

i tried a couple of them, and made sure they were the ones with VC, and there is a lot of black space where the console should be in the VC...anyone else having that problem?

Also, it mentions a manual...where is that?  I didn't see that in the files that i downloaded.  And one more thing...it says it has interactive cabin...where in the views is that?

Love the planes...can't wait till I get more time to mess with them...and to learn how the FMC works...

I have lots of experience with the Level-D 767, so I'll give a brief explanation of how to use the CDU & FMC of this advanced 744 model.

Everything revolves around the CDU (the little computer with the green text) in this 747.  FSX is extremely unrealistic in that it leaves out the CDU and the more advanced autopilot features, instead including only one autopilot (instead of 3 in the actual 747) and navigating the airplane by GPS (instead of LNAV and VNAV.)

You have to select all your arrivals and departures in the DPP/ARR section of the CDU (this is necessary to perform an ILS/Autoland, too.)  You must select your starting airport, waypoints, and destination in the INIT REF index, select a STAR and a SID, clear up any route discontinuities, and then you're pretty much set to fly.  At 1,000 ft AGL, you can activate LNAV to laterally navigate your 747 to the selected waypoint, and then VNAV to vertically navigate your 'plane.   Don't worry about your speed selector blacking out when VNAV is engaged, for the airplane will instead fly the programmed speeds in the CDU that the 747 had been told to fly at (you enter these speeds, too.)

A lot of the CDU is pretty self-explanatory (e.g., MGTOW [use MSFS's fuel & payload calculating tools]), so you should be able to key in this information with relative ease.

Mike Ray (www.utem.com) makes great guides for flight simulators & real aircraft, so you might want to purchase one of his guides to better your experience with the iFly 747.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me!
 

Well, what else can I say other than I am an aspiring airline captain.  When I'm not doing schoolwork, I enjoy flying my Level-D 767-300/ER!

For the Level-D 767, SHIFT+7 opens up the CDU.  If that doesn't work, here's a picture to show what it looks like & to help you out in your search:

OK OK OK, I think this kinda got off my problem, true i dont really understand the flight computer, but it is starting to make sense.  And yes I am talking about the FSX version of this aircraft.  What im still getting is EVERY SINGLE Livery is the iFly livery, im not getting lufthansa, etc....  Anyone else???
Thanks a lot guys  Grin Grin
