Not glass cockpit...... but have you tried Mr. Maltby's Trident with full autoland/autoflare??

Well, it looks like you are already using the wonderful Tu-154, which in my opinion is the most accurate and best modern jet available (they even use it at the Tupolev factory as a procedural trainer. And if your using the M model, I would definately consider it a "modern" jetliner....the b2 model is a little older.), but as far as glass cockpits go, I would suggest the following (these have at least nice looking VC's, but I don't know how much actual buttion pushing you will get out of them):

Freeware:
Project Opensky Boeing 777-200
Project Opensky Embraer Series
Ilyushin IL-96 by Kirill Konovalov

Payware:
PMDG Boeing 747-400
Level-D Boeing 767

Thanks much folks!

lots of new airplanes to try.
Admittedly my standard is set pretty bloody high; after David Maltby, P.T. and whoever came up with the HS-748 and Argosy packages.

I'm workiong right now but will have time to try these all in the near future. Thanks again!

So I keep hearing about this great posky 777 and you inspired me to give it ago (I run FS9)
But I should have expected it coming from posky  .........NO VC!!!! AGAIN!!! why cant these guys put out a product that actually works the way it's supposed to 
Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to finish this plane for my good friends over at posky 

The link I posted has the link to that thread. Sorry, I forgot to mention there is a little work with that one, but worth the effort when done.
The others should all be free of needed modifying as they are made for FSX.

Hi Staiduk. Long time no see.

First of all it would help to know which sim this is for. From looking at your recent posts I assume it's for FS9 in which case it's pointless people suggesting FSX-only files. I find installing the Posky aircraft confusing to say the least but I would have thought a repaint configured as a complete aircraft would be easier than most. I'm downloading the Delta Airlines 777-200 as I type & will report back later.

Right. I see that Romflyer is having the same problems. I finally got that Delta 777 working with a VC. Very nice it is too.


This involves a bit of work (downloading & installing different files etc.) but I can post detailed instructions if you wish.

The first thing to do is get the main textures to display. Open Aircraft.cfg in Notepad & remove the noc from the texture= entry.

[fltsim.0]
title=Boeing 777-200ER Rolls Royce-Trent 895 Project Opensky Delta NOC
sim=Boeing 777-200ER Rolls Royce-Trent 895
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=noc
checklists=

Alternatively you could rename the texture folder to texture.noc

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.

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.

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

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.
