I KNOW! THESE PLANES ARE ALL OVER THE FSX DOWNLOADS!!!

Here's the problem, though, folks. I could only get ONE of those to work. The POSKY models didn't work because they were only SP2 compatible (Annoyingly enough, most of them are.). There were a few that weren't SP2, and they were made by other people, but they didn't work either. So I settled with one, and yes, I love it dearly, but... nothing works. I can't take it anywhere. the autopilot doesn't function, for exapmle. I've tried modifications, but they didn't work.

(I don't want people asking what is wrong with it-this is not a trouble-shooting topic.)

I must say I am really dissapointed. The American Airlines 777-200 is on my top ten list of most iconic commercial jets. I'm not saying it's first, but it is very; well... Iconic. And you can't say you don't agree with me, even if you don't think it's truly "iconic," you will still agree that it looks serioulsy Awesome!

I want to see an AA 777 that is truly operational, that is compatible with SP1, and one that is just cool. I'm not asking for a virtual cockpit, though I do have a POSKY 777 w/ a working VC and 2D, so I don't think it's too high of a request, right?

Love to see some thoughts and supporters on the topic. Looking forward to getting a serious offer.

The Posky aircraft are all FS9 models. They work fine for me in the FSX Demo. I'm not sure why they wont work for you.

I realise you must have your reasons but if most of the aircraft you want are compatible with FSX + SP2 I have to wonder why you don't install it. However, I don't think it will have any effect on the autopilot.

After a VERY thorough search, this is what I could find:

http://www.simviation.com/simviation/?ID=60&page=8&mark=925 : 2 on this page that do not mention needing SP2 to work.

http://www.simviation.com/simviation/?ID=60&page=29&mark=3798 : one on this page (the best freeware 777-200 there is) needs SP2

You may as well get SP2, as most current, and all future addons are being made using this version of the SDK and few if any addons were made with the sp1-SDK or RTM versions :

QUESTION: Will the aircraft I have already download work in SP2? Should there be any major problems? If I finally have SP2, I can still download and use aircraft that say "only for SP1," right?

The Panel and VC came with a Delta old colors 777-200. it is not a full 777 panel, it was customized to be compatible.

I thank everyone for their time so far.

For the SP1 only planes, it will be a case by case issue.

Most of those planes are all FS9 and earlier port overs.

SP2 & Acceleration came out so quickly after sp1, that I don't believe that many addons were made to be sp1 only, and anything that was, was quickly brought to SP2 compliance.

I have already tried EVERY single AA 777 that you have suggested. I didn't get any of the ones you found to work. There is another one somewhere-I don't remember, but I know it's here; because, like I said, I already have it and I love it.

Thanks again everyone-I'll be looking into SP2 with some greater sincerity. Looks like it's the only option I've got, and, hey, I'll be able to get all of the POSKY ones!
