December 3, 201015 yr Sure. This is what I did. (You have to have boeing777-300.gau(this is from fs9. I can send it to you if you don't have it) and you have to go online and search for msvcr70.dll and download it)1. Go to freeskyproject.com (previously projectopensky.com) and download the 777 aircraft with livery that you want.2. Also download the 32 bitmap textures and the xml gauges for the virtual cockpit.3. Install the main plane file in fsx\simobjects. (You might want to alias the the sound to the 737-800).4. Put the boeing777-300.gau in fsx root\gauge.5. Go to the plane where you installed it in fsx and copy and paste the textures contained in the "32 bit map textures" file you got from freeskyproject in main aircraft folder\texture (when I say texture i mean a texture file that is in the main aircraft folder as this can be named to other things, depending on the airline livery like texture.aa). Overwrite everything when asked.6. Now go back to the 32 bitmap textures folder and copy and paste these two files "$vc_01" and "$vc_02" into rootairplanefolder\panel.7. Install the xml gauges (just follow the readme instructions this comes with) (remember to move the new panel.cfg that this folder brings into rootairplanefolder\panel.8. Go to rootairplanefolder\model. Look at .mdl file. If it doesn't have something like os772_trent800_VC in its name, then go to freeskyproject agai, click on the 777v2, click on model packages, and find the model that your current plane has but with "VC" included in its name. For example, if you have os772_trent800.mdl, look for and download one that says os772_trent800_VC.mdl. Download it and install the new .mdl file in rootairplanefolder\model. Overwrite everything windows says. Then, inside rootariplanefolder\model, edit the model.cfg so it has the name of the new .mdl file.9. Install an add on sound (optional).Hope this helps. If you have any questions, just ask because I might have missed a step, but these are the steps I followed and I installed a 777-200 and then a 777-300 and it worked both times, so it should work if you follow it correctly.Obviously the default 737-800 sounds aren't the only ones that you can use. The package actually works best with Emil Serafino Jr's RR soundset, that works in FSX. Dave.

December 3, 201015 yr Hi Ernie,Do you happen to know why with the JB panels the VC2 bitmap is read correct and when using the ISG1 panels the chart gauge display and the FMC displays stay black instead of showing the the image like on the screenhot before ?We left it out of the retrofit panel.cfg for the POSKY 777, it didn't seem to serve any purpose, you can't read the text unless youare very zoomed in and the VC designer didn't make the gauge surface large enough for the function buttons.But if you want to add it, this is the setting for the VC.gauge09=isg1!SMITHS_FMS_BR,750,795,300,520Regards.Ernie.

December 3, 201015 yr Thanks Ernie !I now have them like I want them....Regards,Ok good.How did you get the FS9 777 EICAS screens in the center and lower pedestals ? Everytime I try I get the HSI page for both.Regards.Ernie.
December 4, 201015 yr Ok good.How did you get the FS9 777 EICAS screens in the center and lower pedestals ? Everytime I try I get the HSI page for both.Regards.Ernie.Just below the Lower Eicas screen there are 2 brownisch buttons.Each one can be clicked with the mouse ( + and - ).There you can choose the page you want to have displayed for each one. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
