Hello Boys, nice to meet you all. As you can see i´m new there.
I have now big problem with my Abacus Boeing 787.
It´s perfect plane for my FSX but only when i use DX9, now i switched PC to DX10 and my Boeing is totaly white no texture is on it.

Second problem with my lovely Boeing 787 is very bad view from Virtual Cocpit, (yes it have it Grin

) I´m 190cm tall man and when i looking from this cockpit i think i have 150cm, extremly bad view.
I upload for all experts this model and i hope somebody can help me. Or maybe some expert can edit it to better form. now it have more than 500MB and you have Virtual cabin for passengers in first and second class too + feew virtual aerolines.

I hope i´m on right place. Thx for everybody who can fix this

You have to be absolutely kidding me. You have uploaded a PAYWARE model to a site for others to download?

and oh yes, the links have been cut out.

Your problem is not with the model.

FS-X came out before DX-10 was ready for release, and as such is not a "true" DX-10 application. You may want to set your FS-X settings to use DX-9 compatibility.

As to your other problem, post a screenshot and describe it. I find that in most planes, the "view to the front" over the panel is not the best..

In either case, your problems are not design issues.

Thank you. I use N275GTX with Core i7 875K CPU. And on DX9 on highest details it´s not smooth. But when i use DX10 it´s pretty smooth any freezing. For this i use DX10. Original aircrafts from FSX is pretty and have every textures. Few of downloaded aircrafts is pretty too. But many of them is only white without textures. I don´t understand how it´s possible.

After when i come home i will create screen from cabin. Thank you for now

Answer to your white texture issue from Abacus' product support faq for the 787-Dreamliner:
Quote:

FSX Q: Why do my aircraft appear white or blank with no textures in FSX?

FSX A: At this time it appears as though Microsoft/FSX is no longer supporting the FS2004 style of textures on aircraft in FSX SP2 running on Windows Vista with the DirectX 10 Preview option turned on. At this time, the only solution is to turn off the DirectX 10 Preview option in the Display Settings in FSX.

The 787-Dreamliner was designed for FS2004 and FSX so used older texture format which don't support DX10. The FSX default aircraft and many download aircraft do use textures that support DX10.

For your VC view issue: You can raise you view (called Eyepoint) by pressing [Shift+Enter]. For other Eyepoint-(move) commands check the Kneeboard>[Keys] page for the 'View Commands'.

To permanently raise the Eyepoint you can edit the 'aircraft.cfg' file. (Back up the file before editing) Find the [Views] section....it should look something like this. (This is only an example from the default Cessna 172. The values will be different in the 787)

[Views]
eyepoint= -3.95, -0.85, 1.9 //(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from reference datum

Increasing the third value will raise the Eyepoint.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation. Igor Sikorsky

I intend to live forever....so far, so good. Steven Wright

You know....you can just rip up a to-do list.

Lot´s of thank you!!! Cheesy

this is working well:
[Views]

eyepoint= 67.4, -2.5, 7.3

Original:
[Views]

eyepoint= 67.5, -2.5, 6.8

67.4 = you can see from Captain seat to 1st class
67.5 = original.
