kiki do you still have fs9 installed you would have to copy the b777 gauge file over to the fsx guage file. boeing777-300.gau

Well, I don

But still the original problem is there: no gauges or their are only partially visible. There seems to be no one who has been able to use Posky ERJ virtual cockpit with FSX and SP2. Really??

KikiI presume you have seen my current thread on the gauges in the Posky777 VC not showing in the VISTA computer of our flightsim club, but showing okay in my own home XP computer - the 777 files are exacly the same in both computers, since they have been copied from one to the other. It is a real mystery to me.NigelVancouver

You are saying that some gauges won't run on Vista64? I've never heard of this happening. I will have to take a look at this (since I run Vista 64). So this was with the Posky ERJ135 or ERJ145?

Hi!No, they don

Very very interesting post!

I was curious about this, so I just spent some time downloading and experimenting with the Posky ERJ145LR in FSX. First of all:1) it is an FS2002 model (I looked at the mdl with hex editor...it's not even an FS9 model)...because of #1, we're lucky it works in fSX at all. Just wanted to make that point first and foremost.Secondly:2) it is trying to use the Lear_45 gauge, which I think is the FS2002 Lear gauge, not even the FS9 one. At any rate, adding the FS9 Lear gauge to FSX doesn't help the panel much. Most of the gauges do not show, or only the needles show for some of the engine gauges.

That I didn

Kiki it works it just takes some time to get it right. make sure you have all the vc textures in the texture folder of your favorite paint also the night textures which you can get in posky site go to your fsx lear jet folder copy and paste the panel folder to your posky aircraft folder overwrite the original go into the panel and open up the panel.cfg you must have theses lines or the vc will not work right. It must be right below the [Window05] section. this is from the posky american airlines erj145lr. and remember you must have the boeing777-300.gau from fs9 copied over to your fsx gauge folder. I believe you can use the 737-800 gauges but that's more work lol you have to edit the panel.cfg for that and replace all the lines that use the boeing777-300.gau file and since I'm the most terrible person on the planet to explain things and you know of a better easier way please post it. :)//--------------------------------------------------------[Vcockpit01]file=$vc_01.bmp Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=1024,1024visible=0pixel_size=1024,1024texture=$vc_01gauge00=Boeing777-300!Backup_Attitude, 710,687,306,318gauge01=Lear_45!PFD, -2,-19,523,684gauge02=Lear_45!EICAS, 505,-21,523,684gauge03=Boeing777-300!Clock, 432,697,277,277//--------------------------------------------------------[Vcockpit02]file=$vc_02.bmp Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=1024,1024visible=0pixel_size=1024,1024texture=$vc_02gauge00=Boeing777-300!Backup_Attitude, 710,685,306,318gauge01=Lear_45!PFD, -2,-21,523,684gauge02=Lear_45!EICAS, 505,-23,523,684gauge03=Boeing777-300!Clock, 432,695,277,277//--------------------------------------------------------[Vcockpit03]file=$vc_03.bmp Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=1024,1024visible=0pixel_size=1024,1024texture=$vc_03gauge00=Lear_45!Radio Stack, 493,26,448,510gauge01=Lear_45!Radio Stack, 494,510,448,510gauge02=Lear_45!EICAS, -12,-20,523,684gauge03=magnetic_compass!Magnetic-Compass, 5,638,356,344Day=255,255,255Night=0,0,0Luminous=0,0,0[Default View]X=0Y=0SIZE_X=8191SIZE_Y=2390and you also need to have these 3 texuers in your panel folder called $vc_01 $vc_02 $vc_03 which are from the file os_erj145lr_vc which you can download from the posky site, which contains other folder called panel.vc that is were those 3 texture files are you must copy them to your new panel folder.This is how it looks like

What is your os, Silverbird. Maybe XP? Because with my Vista 64 after all that you said, the gauges are still no-show. Maybe it is what Mace said, it is not possible to use that vc with Vista! Thanks any way...kiki

Hi Kiki yea its xp32 bit sp3 well at least we tried :( must be something on vista 64 I was going to upgrade to vista 64bit but haven't since I'M currently using in old video card and vista hates it.

[Guest aliensxist]

:( That's inspirational Silverbird, I'm on XP SP2So before I dropped the B777.gau in the FSX Gauges folder, and put all of those lines in the panel.cfg in, my ERJ145 VC looked like thisBeforeSo, I took the Learjet45 panel and replaced my ERJ panel with it, and I found the 777 gau file and droped it in my FSX gauges folder, and changed the panel.cfg and then it turned out like this,AfterSo can anyone think of any steps i might have missed?

[duckbilled 57]

Sorry to necropost here but I was wondering if anyone has made any progress with this aircraft. It seems like it is so close to working.

HI Jeff Ill check my files I have moved over to windows 7 64bit I also want to apologize to aliensxist for not answering his post must have missed it some how.

[BMG50 8]

I,ve had the Posky ERJ 135 and 145 VC panels,both the Posky and the Grabowski,working with XP SP3,Vista 32B,Vista 64B and Win 7 64B so the OS shouldn,t be an issue...(FSX ACCEL) Lou

[duckbilled 57]

I'll give it a shot installing them. Their stuff can be so akward to install - just wanted to make sure someone has got them working before I spent the time.

[Guest Rapunzel]

So can anyone think of any steps i might have missed?

Try to get a msvcr70.dll and paste it to fsx's main folder. Some fs9 gauges need this dll, but fsx doesn't include it.

Many thanks Rapunzel just tried it without the msvcr70.dll the gauges did not show up so make sure you have that file in the main fsx folder and it should work, here's a screenshot with the default lear panel and the b777 gauges from fs9 have I haven't tried the Grabowski panel in fsx yet, will give it a shot today and report back! so far Lou has it running with the Grabowski panel thanks all.

Got it working. Thanks. It really is a great model. I just wish the AP functions worked in the vc. I'm assuming they didn't in FS9 being that there is no gauge for the ap in the vc entries.

Hello,I've been trying to get this Amazing freeware product working on my PC for two days, and it just will not work!Here's the problem, Everything works, sound, Exterior, FDE etc..But my virtual cockpit either shows Blank screens, or grey screens, the same colour as the dash board, etc..Same problem as Aliensxist was/is getting.I am running FSX with SP1.My specs are: Intel Pentinium duel CPU E2140 @ 1.60Ghz, 1.00GB RAMNvidia Geforce 9800GT 1GB17" FP737s BenQ Monitor, Saitek Cyborg Evo Joystick, Hewlett parkard Keybaord, And some speakers that I have no idea where their from..Got FSX As an christmas present A phew years ago, It's Boxed..I really do not know the problem...The gauges are just not showing!I've followed this guide: http://www.cat-tamer.com/flightsim/inst_erj145.htmlUsing Bill grabowski's ERJ-145 Panel, and tried to use the Lear45 panel, Niether workI have also tried following Silverbird's guide above, that doesn't work, either...I've tried most guides I can find :( I would be highly greatfull if somebody could just upload a .RAR or .ZIP of a working ERJ-145 for FSX, Or tell me how to install this properly.Regards,Joe

I got mine working by coping the lear 45 gauges from fs2002 to the fsx gauge directory. Anyone find a way to use autopilot?
