January 17, 201214 yr Hi all,I may be being a little unfair to Wilco, but I put in a support email to them after buying the Airbus Vol 1 evolution upgrade and somehow (based on reading around a bit), I am not sure what sort of response I can expect from them, or when.Actually I am not unhappy with it, once I installed the hi res cockpit from Avsim.ru and a new A320 soundset, it is actually quite a respectable plane. It's certainly not as bad as I feared and for £13 I get a weather radar, HUD (ought to at least) and some improvements to the FMGC , so it's not a ripoff.However, in case I don't get a reply from them, I thought that the brains on Avsim may considerably outweigh the brains at Wilco.So my problem is simple - I simply cannot see the HUD when pressing W whilst in 2D cockpit view. That's it.I know its installed because the .dll is there in modules and I can cycle 3 times through the W sequence, but no visible HUD. The HUD is a gauge and therefore the problem may be to completely reinstall the Airbus which is not a problem for me if I have to. But if there's an easier solution I would prefer it.Computer spec: Dual Core E6850, XP SP3, 4Gb Crucial Ballisitix 800 RAM, nVidia GTS250 (275.xx driver) , 22in monitor,FS2004, (not installed it in FSX yet), REX 2 for FS9, ASE, GEPro, Regd version of FSUIPC (latest download)....Model of Airbus or location makes no difference.Thanks for any suggestions,Ray
January 17, 201214 yr Author Oh never mind, I found the button on the left side of the 2D glare shield and it works!
January 17, 201214 yr Good to hear you got it sorted Ray, jeeze, a good-news story from Wilco huh Dean Stringer
January 18, 201214 yr once I installed the hi res cockpit from Avsim.ruHi,Hi res textures with the Wilco 320? Sounds very interisting. I just had a poke around, but wasn't able to find those textures (I don't know any russian/cyrillic). Could you point us to a link please?Thank you!Cheers,Alex Cheers, Alex
January 18, 201214 yr Author Hi AlexLink for the textures: http://www.avsimrus.com/files.phtml?uploader=43638 (titled: Wilco Airbus A-318, 319, 320 , 321 Virtual retexturing day/night). You will need a translator (eg Google).Back up your original textures and .gau file in /panel first though, I never looked back after replacing the old ones. Please also note that in spite of the title these replacements are not for the A318, they will mess up your VC in that model.Ray
January 18, 201214 yr Thank you very much Ray, I will try those out. Now if only there were some hi rez textures for the a330/a340 :-)Cheers,Alex Cheers, Alex
January 21, 201214 yr Hi, i understand that feeling of not being able to use the HUD, since i also had that problem and also figured that out.BTW, i also installed the wilco airbus in W7 as an admin and everything they recommend at wilco but i can't see the weather radar working... i toogle it on on the pedestal, put 40nm range but it doesn't appear anything... any ideas of how to make it work?
