Would this work with the PMDG 747-400X?

I'm a huge fan of that model in particular Wink

but of course not , the diference is that one cost about $60 bucks and maybe the owners and engineers from Boeing help to make it Shocked

along with the programmers of ILM Grin

and the other one ~~Its free~~ well YOU paid for it when you bought FSX ,and definitively the FSX 747-400 need it to be improved ,it has such of beautiful textures

Besides of course it runs smother than the payware one Wink

For people like me who can not afford a better computer
...........my video card? Gforce 8400 and a core2duo4500 Cry

enjoy

Alex

would anybuddy please take a nice pic like Daube did with the 737
to post it in FSND?

OK I think we don't have many simviation users on this forum.

Even our facebook page has glorious praisings for Alex's new VC.

Who are you people and why are none of you seemingly part of the mainstream 400K simviation monthly users?

Something VERY wrong has happened to these forums. They have been overtaken with people who simply are not the mainstream simviation users. Time for change.

Maybe I'm being misunderstood. I visit SimV every day and get 99.9% of my planes from here. Love Alrots planes, fly them all the time. His Mustang is a piece of art! Thing is, I can't get the FMC in the PMDG 747 to work for me (gotta admit its a pain to learn) and it doesnt have a GPS. Would love to drop Alrots beautiful panel into the PMDG model if i was possible. thats all.

respectfully submitted.

Keep 'em flyin'!

To add Alex's VC to any native FSX model you need to understand a few steps.

in the Model folder you need to edit the model.cfg to include interior model (interior=B747_400_interior)

You will certainly need to edit the aircraft.cfg 'views' section. The only way to do this with a new untested model is to experiment with the settings

(the // is the original. It stops FS from reading that line of code)

e.g.

[Views]
//eyepoint=-14.000, -2.000, 14.800 // Longitude, Latitude and Vertical position from Reference Point, (FEET)
eyepoint=-32.000, -1.5000, 11.1 // Longitude, Latitude and Vertical position from Reference Point, (FEET)

But yes it can be added to any native FS model.

To see if it's a native FSX model look in the model\MDL file (open with notepad)and you will find MDLXMDL at the top of the page.
If it says MDL8MDLH - it's a FS9 model and cannot have the FSX VC added.

Here are some shots showing the various light levels in the cockpit on bad weather.
I wanted to make just a short hop to take screens, and in the end the real weather on Vaernes was looking so nice that I simply had to try an IFR landing... which took me an hour or so Undecided

No lights:

Instruments lights:

Cabin lights:

And just one more to show the cockpit with instrument lights during taxi:

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Awesome work again, Alex Shocked

Have you considered doing this for the smaller GA planes????

I'd love to have your rain effect in some of my bugsmashers Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

GA means like propeler airplanes, right? Cessna 172 82 baron58 etc??

To be very honest I even had the idea ,that you just gave me
Smaller airplanes example:a C172 does not have complex animation (Like that darn thrust reverses of the 747)

I would only add few things and the wiper effect
Good Idea Chuck (I didn't see your post neither Steve )

It could really be the next proyect ,I got some emails and many request me the same airplane the Lear45 but what important could I add to this cockpit ,it doesn't even have wipers?

Ill see those cockpits

That's because they haven't got them. I've never seen a bugsmasher with wipers.

Do the windows just not get wet?..........I assume that water must accumulate on the windshield regardless of whether or not the aircraft has wipers Wink
