A merge Question

Featured Replies

Hello all,About 1 year ago somebody made a beautiful merge for the Overland A340 + PSS panel. http://forum.ivao.aero/index.php/topic,138787.0.htmlSomebody else changed some settings in the aircraft.cfg to let the panel work with Overland A330-300 + PSS panel. I spent a few hours figuring out how he did it, but it worked.Here are some shots:fs92010070616220453.pngfs92010070616221102.pngfs92010070616221599.pngfs92010070616222200.pngWell that looks nice, doesn't it?Then I looked at the Airbus A330-200 + PSS panel. I did exacly the same as I did with the A330-300There is only a small problem; the virtual cockpit is behind me (I think because the A332 is a bit shorter than the A333)Oke, still not a big problem, I just push Cntrl+Enter and I go back, fs92010070616250194.pngBut I can't go further than this;fs92010070616251824.pngI think I need to change some values in the aircraft.cfg but I have no idea what numbers I need to change.The Aircraft.cfg is included in this topic. I anybody know what I need to change, please commend :( An other thing,It seems that the fuel is still set upped for the A340. Because I do not think the A330 can carry 120.000kg.Does somebody know how much it can carry?Thank you very much in advance,Robin Cornelissen

I think I need to change some values in the aircraft.cfg but I have no idea what numbers I need to change.The Aircraft.cfg is included in this topic. I anybody know what I need to change, please commend
[Views]eyepoint=98.07, -1.80,  5.85

That line. These are the x,y and z position of your eyepoint in feet from your CG (I think). As a initial guess, I would reduce the x value by 8 feet (half the difference in length between both aircraft). In other words,
[Views]eyepoint=90.07, -1.80,  5.85

I'd suggest you to assign a key command for "Reload user aircraft" (or whatever this means in English... my FS is in Spanish), so you've only to edit your aircraft.cfg, save it (without closing) and then in FS reload your aircraft with your new eyepoint position.

An other thing,It seems that the fuel is still set upped for the A340. Because I do not think the A330 can carry 120.000kg.Does somebody know how much it can carry?
See here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A330#Specifications36740 US gal for the A332, 25760 for the A333. With 6.7 lb/gal, that means 246158 lb (111675 kg) for the A332 and 172592 lb (78288 kg) for the A333. Hope this helps.Best regards from Colombia,Luis Miguel

Could you possibly direct me to how to get the setup to work with the A330 series because I have the wonderful A340 setup and I want so badly to use it with the A330's.Thanks!! :(

Well Luis, you are my hero today :( That worked perfect! Thanks alot!As I can't upload the whole file because I do not have any copyrights, I will make a readme for you.Keep an eye on this topic. I will upload it tomorrow.PS: There are still some faults at the plane. Like: When you press Shift+5 you see 4 throttles instead of 2EDIT: I have some really big problems with the plane. I can't go above FL250 or the speed decreases very quicly. Even when I maintain the flightlevel with full trust, I am still slowing down.

What do you think? Overland or POSKY A340 models? Which ones has more liveries made for them? What is smoother. There was a POSKY PSS A340 merge that worked, it was pretty nice.

  • Author

To merge, and to use the Mega Merge A340 Virtual Cockpit in the Overland A330 do this:* Ofcourse install the A340 merge and PSS A330 + A340* Take the overland A330 folder and take all the virtual model folders, like: - MODEL.GE1VC - MODEL.PW1VC* Copy whole the Panel folder from the A340 merge to the A330 folder.* Find a nice soundpack on the internet* Download the file from below (I just noticed my airplanes are still in the aircraft.cfg, you can delete those ofcouse but leave anything below it just like it is)* Add a repaint and enjoy.I only tested the Airbus A330-200Known problems* If you press Shift+5 to see the Throttle panel you see 4 throttles instead of 2. (only the 2 on the left side work)* When loading the plane you will see the plane is overloaded with ~50.000kg. I did a testflight last night from Capetown to Amsterdam with the A332, it was overloaded with around 30.000kg but it was still flying good.* I think the plane still climbs very fast. Even with fully load you can still climb with 4000ft/min (I don't know if that is possible in real life)This merge is far from perfect but it works. I'm not a professional so don't blame me :( .If you have a solution for any problem, please discribe the problem with the solution.Airbus A330-200 filesAirbus A330-300 filesATTANTION FOR THIS:This is a part of the aircraft.cfg (in my case)[fltsim.0]title=PSS A330-200 GE KLM PH-AOHsim=a332model=GE2panel=sound=texture=PH-AOHatc_id=PH-AOHatc_airline=KLMatc_flight_number=236atc_heavy=1ui_manufacturer=Simmer's Skyui_type=Airbus A330-200ui_variation=Airbus A330-200 KLM PH-AOHdescription=Overland Co.,Ltd.

Thanks! and yeah that +4000FT/Min is ridiculous but it does work.
