Hi guys I have recently tried to merge the captain sim 757 model with the Level-D 767 panel, But i have a problem with the exterior of the CS757. Here is my Captain sim 757 Aircraft.cfg nothing added to it maybe you can help me of what to add to it?:[General]atc_type=BOEINGatc_model=B757editable=1performance=Weight: MTOW 408,000 lbs MLW: 320,000\nPower: GE CF6-80C2B7 @ 61,500\n\n[pitot_static]vertical_speed_time_constant = 1 //Increasing this value will cause a more instantaneous reaction in the VSI[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]max_gross_weight = 150000 // (pounds)empty_weight = 74170 // (pounds)reference_datum_position = 0, 0, 0 // (feet) distance from FlightSim Reference position: (1/4 chord, centerline, waterline)empty_weight_CG_position = -5, 0, 0 // (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from specified datummax_number_of_stations = 50station_load.0 = "170.0, 41.0, -1.5, 0.0, Pilot" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet) station_load.1 = "170.0, 41.0, 1.5, 0.0, Co-Pilot" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet) station_load.2 = "510.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, Crew" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet) station_load.3 = "1360.0, 25.5, 0.0, 0.0, First Class" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet) station_load.4 = "8160.0, 11.0, 0.0, 0.0, Coach 3-10" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet) station_load.5 = "8160.0, -10.0, 0.0, 0.0, Coach 11-18" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet) station_load.6 = "7140.0, -30.5, 0.0, 0.0, Coach 19-25" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet) station_load.7 = "10000.0, 20.5, 0.0, 0.0, Forward Baggage" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet) station_load.8 = "4000.0, -27.5, 0.0, 0.0, Aft Baggage" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet) ;Moments of Inertiaempty_weight_pitch_MOI = 3172439empty_weight_roll_MOI = 2262183empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 3337024empty_weight_coupled_MOI = 0[flight_tuning]cruise_lift_scalar = 1.0parasite_drag_scalar = 1.0induced_drag_scalar = 1.0elevator_effectiveness = 1.0aileron_effectiveness = 1.0rudder_effectiveness = 1.0pitch_stability = 1.0roll_stability = 1.0yaw_stability = 1.0elevator_trim_effectiveness = 1.0aileron_trim_effectiveness = 1.0rudder_trim_effectiveness = 1.0[GeneralEngineData]engine_type = 1 //0=Piston, 1=Jet, 2=None, 3=Helo-Turbine, 4=Rocket, 5=TurbopropEngine.0 = 4.75, -16.1, -4.5 //(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from reference datumEngine.1 = 4.75, 16.1, -4.5 //(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from reference datumfuel_flow_scalar = 0.5 //Scalar for fuel flow efficiencymin_throttle_limit = -0.25 //Minimum percent throttle.

problem:

I don't think your problem has anything to do with the aircraft.cfg - I suspect the panel is missing a gauge that CS uses to present and control the missing pieces. Much the same thing occurs with QW757 merge attempts when you try and substitute another panel.DJ

Okey but you don't know what to change in the Panel.cfg? yes I tried to merge the QW panel aswell but same exterior problem occured. But may it be the CS control panel that needs to be put into the panel.cfg?/ Tim

No, I don't have the CS plane - you usually only need one or two gauges added from the original panel, however. I'd look at the CS panel config and see if there are one or more gauges that aren't named like the normal panel gauges you expect and try them added to the LD panel...DJ

One you need the CS Icon and animation gauges for the exterior to work right. I don't think though a merge with the current model with systems will work though, because of the conflict between systems. Atleast I haven't got it to work in FSX. I did have a nice merge with the original CS757 model (Block "B") which I was even able to embed the FMC into the VC. (But unfortunately not the MCP) It worked fine with FSX SP1 but not SP2 which causes opaqued windows, because it was a FS9 model port. The new FSX model is integrated with it's systems, so the Level-D systems end up conflicting. I haven't found away around that yet. The FS9 model may be different though. Here's a video sample of the merge I was able to do with the original CS model back in 2007.

Ah I've sucessfully managed to merge the LVL-D panel with the CS 757 model now or atleast the Exterior and "looking" parts with it, But I haven't discovered any problems with the system or at least not yet. Yes I remember you from youtube really liked your merge got the idea to merge these two great addons because of your vids :( but now there is allso this thing with the VC view position. Every time I click on "virtual cockpit" inside the sim I allways end up infront of the VC's position so I have to make some changes in either panel.cfg or Aircraft.cfg (change the view position for the VC view) but I'm not shure where I change this. Maybe you know? Well I've allso merged the Qualitywings panel with the CS 757 model and it worked very well. I merged the LVL-D and CS because I wanted a Speedtape EADI instead of the captain sim Round ball EADI Cheers Tim

Yes one more thing about the FMC, How do I make the Level-D fmc show up in the Captain sim VC fmc screen? Mine is all black in the VC but not in the 2d panel.Cheers Tim

Not sure if the it's the same as FSX but try this;gauge64=cs.b757.vc.cdu!Main, 650, 650,239,374gauge64=LVLD\B767FMC!CDU, 683, 670,170,140gauge65=LVLD\B767FMC!Keyboard, 650, 650,239,374Comment out the CS cdu gauge in the VCockpit02 section and add the 2 level-d gauges. Note once you do this you won't be able to use the 2D FMC. Once you enter the 2D GMC, the fonts will get messed up. That may be why, Level-D never integrated it themselves. I prefer only to use the VC only so it's not a problem for me.
