February 5, 201214 yr Hello,A week ago I (re)started trying to get a working posky 777 with a virtual cockpit (i nearly only fly using VC's).After a lot of struggling, I finally managed to get an acceptable aircraft which I can get off the ground.Allow me to show you a screenshot of my current VC:http://img685.images...5/895/777vc.pngAs you can see, I still have a lot of issues:The most important one is the lack of radios! I've indicated the "dead" spots with red circles on the screenshot.Another, very annoying issue, which the screenshot doesn't show, is that my cursor blinks when I move over buttons and selectors. This makes some tasks, like setting values in the autopilot, very difficult during a flight.Moreover, it seems that when my plane turns (I think for 15-30°), I can't click anything in the VC anymore for the duration of the turn!! Can't even move the gear or thrust levers!I took the screenshot in the in-game evening. You can clearly see the lighting bug on the screenshot. Sure, it doesn't affect gameplay, but it's horrible and unrealistic...Finally, not really an issue but more like a question: the are a lot of buttons that are "fake" in the VC: I can't click them, whereas I can click them in the 2D cockpit (that's how I enabled terr display). I've shown a good example with a green box on the screenshot.My question is: How could I add clickspots in a VC? Like saying "if the user clicks in 500, 500, 25, 25 -> enable terrain display...I'm writing this topic hoping somebody could help me a bit getting a better 777!I own, among a few others, the Level-D 767 and the PMDG 737 NG: I got used to quality, and I'd really love to see a 777 of a similar level of realism!Now I've tried everything that crossed my mind, going from panel.cfg modifications to merge attempts with the LDS 767 (failed, only 2D cockpit worked, FMC bugged on Perf Init) and PSS 777 (failed).I'm currently using the jb777 gauges (very nice ones btw).After all the efforts I've done so far I can't give up! But I'm running out of ideas... :-(Thanks a lot for any help! I would highly appreciate it! Edited February 6, 201214 yr by Mr. Pixel

February 6, 201214 yr Author Hi,Try to ask your question at:http://www.facebook....14335791977943/orhttp://www.freeskyproject.com/Here are former Posky members.JanThank you for your reply. Unfortunately, this is what's stated on the free sky project forum ( http://www.freeskyproject.com/topic/43394-project-open-sky/ ):The Free Sky Project no longer offers for download or supports Project Open Sky files or releases. You can find the files at Avsim or Flightsim.com. If you need support you can try SkySpirit 2010 or SkySpirit 2011 as they are some of the original authors of the files.Also, I don't like facebook. :-)I was hoping I could find some help over here...As you can see, the problems are "common" problems that could apply to any aircraft.Adding "clickspots", lighting problem, adding gauges... it's not specific to Posky... ;) Edited February 6, 201214 yr by Mr. Pixel

February 6, 201214 yr Moderator I'll save you a lot of time, trouble, and angst. Without the source files (either .max or .gmax) you can not modify/edit the virtual cockpit. Period. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
