I must have, that's good news indeed! I was starting to feel discouraged.

I will have to go back through it some more then.

I hate leaving a problem unsolved once I've thrown my hat into the ring.   And it would be nice to get this one working as it is a rather nice package. If  Guzman and Alrot teamed up with this, they could put out one hell of an impressive package. Not that Alrot's isn't already a very impressive plane. I just think Alrot could improve this one alot in the VC department. The exterior models are very close to each other.

This is one of those instances where I wish I could just drop a whole new VC into these things.

Understandably so. I know it would upset me if my hard work was ripped off and used for something else without permission at least.

But on the other hand, planes like this one make the situation a little frustrating, and a simple fix job like swapping VCs would save a lot of time and hassle.

My advice to the OP is just stick with Alrots 707.

By the time this gauge problem got sorted out, it wouldn't be the same plane anymore.

I'm not sure I understand the objections. It's not a question of ripping anything off. FSX aircraft have 2 MDL files, one for the exterior model & the other for the VC. I saw the exciting possibilities of this soon after first trying the FSX Demo but it didn't work out in the way I expected. It would make the job of creating aircraft for FSX so much easier. Some people are better at the exterior model & others specialise in the VC. I can't see the harm if the files were posted separately, similar to 2D panels, repaints & other improvements.  

However, the 707 is an FS9 model which makes this irrelevant.

I think that was pointed out on the first page of this topic.

No objections, I was just acknowledging why some protect their work.

If this were an FSX model, I'd swap for the 747 VC in a heartbeat and be done with it.

It would be so much nicer if more people released them in the manner you suggested.


To Dave: Good eye! Going to give that a try.

Hager,

It appears the last digit is an 'extra' digit (5th place holder) used by the Concorde gauge to identify the engine number. With the comma missing Gfgedit would see it a the normal 4th place (Y size).

Dave

That makes sense. I misread your post about the objections, makes sense to me now that I take it in a different context, I think you were referring to the creators objecting, correct?


Dave's point got the engine popup panel looking much better, but as you said, there are still many gauges missing.
