Hi Staiduk.

I've recently been flying a great freeware MD-11 with a great dynamic VC, available to download from the Overland website (here http://www.overland.co.jp/japaneseairports/index.html). It has only one livery but you can find more on the web. Glass cockpit, flexing wings, good detail. Worth a try.

Thank you Hagar for the nudge in the right direction Wink

is removing the noc all I need to do to get the VC functioning? or as you stated earlier the same post, that there were several different files to download?

Hi Romflyer. No, when I first tried it the aircraft was all grey with no textures. The simple Aircraft.cfg edit (or renaming the texture folder) will fix that. The Delta model posted HERE has no VC. This involves downloading several files from the Posky site to install & work properly. I'll post a walkthrough later.

That VC does look fantastic Shocked

is everything in it clickable? because the last plane from them that I actually got to function, the VC looked pretty darn good but nothing in it worked Huh

and switching back and forth and back and forth between VC and 2d kinda sucked the fun out of it Tongue

I just tried it & apart from the autopilot & a few switches most VC gauges do not appear to be clickable. Bear in mind that I'm more used to open cockpit light aircraft so I might have missed something.

For anyone interested this is how I installed the Delta Airlines 777-200 complete with VC to FS9. Installation should be quite straightforward. Please refer to my earlier reply to get the textures to display.

The Delta model has no VC so once it's installed & working properly in FS9 you will need to download the VC model from the Posky website. This is the Rolls-Royce Trent 895 version of the 777-200 so download the second file from the bottom here. http://www.projectopensky.com/downloads.php?aircraft=842ytv5p8&location=modelpac...
The file description is VC_SP1_Trent800 (OS772V2_Trent800_VC) & the file name is OS772V2_TRENT800_VC_SP1.zip. Installation is a simple matter of pasting the included model folder into the main folder of your Delta Airlines repaint. Overwrite files/folders when prompted. This will give you an untextured VC with no gauges.

The VC textures are posted here. http://www.projectopensky.com/downloads.php?aircraft=842ytv5p8&location=panelpac...
Note that there are two different options. This is a matter of preference. I chose the DXTBmp textures. Paste all the included textures into the texture folder of your Delta 777.

The VC panel is also posted on the above page. (os777v2_VC_panel_SP1B.zip)
To install it paste the included Panel folder complete with gauges into the main folder of your Delta 777. (Before doing so I renamed the existing panel folder to panel.0 to back it up.)

Now with a bit of luck & a following wind you should have a Delta 777-200 with a full DVC.

Indeed there are several clickable gauges. For example, see how there are 4 of the same mfd's? Well, the 2 center ones can be changed. Just in front of the throttles, and directly below the bottom gauge, there are some buttons on the left side.... just click on those and you "should" be able to cycle thru different screens.

My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.&&&&My Posky 777 VC settings - http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1218341439&&Posky 777 and FSX jetways - http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1228448408

Are all the gauges properly sized you can see them in their entirety?

I to have recently been spending some quality time with this MD11, and it is of similar quality to the 737 experience, so now I have two big (modern) cigars that are worth keeping Cool

And the best part is that the people who made them actually took the time to make them function correctly before they put them out their Roll Eyes

Hopefully someone will take the time to finish one of those 777s and upload them to Simv so that those of us who dont have the time or ability to finish what posky couldnt make the effort to do Wink

Should be no problem if you follow my walkthrough in this thread. I even posted links to the various downloads.

I could upload my version but I won't, mainly as I don't wish to upset the guys at Posky. I also don't wish to leave myself open to criticism by the FS community at large if they happen to find some little thing wrong with it.
