October 30, 201213 yr Just reading my manuals and seen that the 777 has three (maybe more) different types of TCAS panels, which one out the three below have been modeled? - Luke Pabari
October 30, 201213 yr which one out the three below have been modeled? The bottom one seems to be the same one in the 737 and 744, so maybe they're using that one in the T7? Kenny Lee"Keep climbing"
October 30, 201213 yr I hope its the dial pad one, easier to use in FS than a knob. Alex Jevdic KORD/KHOT/KPWKA<380 love at first flight
October 30, 201213 yr Author The bottom one seems to be the same one in the 737 and 744, so maybe they're using that one in the T7? Yeah I like that one, I just remembered - it probably depends on the aircraft they used for the photoshoot? - Luke Pabari
October 30, 201213 yr Yeah I like that one, I just remembered - it probably depends on the aircraft they used for the photoshoot? That is true I think Emirates has the one with the dial. Joseph Vannelli
October 30, 201213 yr Yeah I like that one, I just remembered - it probably depends on the aircraft they used for the photoshoot? I think you're right. I think it makes sense to design every system in their 777 from whatever aircraft/simulator they use. Have a problem, go back to that ac/sim and figure it out. It's right where it was and you don't have to track a plane down that is on the other side of the world. Kenny Lee"Keep climbing"
October 30, 201213 yr Author That is true I think Emirates has the one with the dial. Yeah it's common on the earlier 200's. I've seen lots of BA's with it too. - Luke Pabari
October 31, 201213 yr Author I think you're right. I think it makes sense to design every system in their 777 from whatever aircraft/simulator they use. Have a problem, go back to that ac/sim and figure it out. It's right where it was and you don't have to track a plane down that is on the other side of the world. From looking at other LR cockpits I've seen Number 1 being most common - maybe Ryan or someone can confirm! - Luke Pabari
October 31, 201213 yr Couldn't it be part of the airline options from the repaints? If we can change/add stuff in the NGX like the MCP and HGS would it be possible to do this for the transponder in the T7? Lee
October 31, 201213 yr Austrian Airlines (including the ex Lauda air B772) have installed the bottom one. best regards Roman Reiner
October 31, 201213 yr All these panels work exactly the same. It's just an airline option. But ABV-N-BLW and ABS-REL switches make some difference. Rostyslav S Wanna fly 737NGX with turbulence?
October 31, 201213 yr Not to the way TCAS works, RAs in particular, just the way TAs are displayed. I missed that the third panel as no ABV-N-BLW setting (I was reading the thread on my phone), I admit I thought that was standard for all TCAS. Maybe the altitude filter is automatic on that implementation? ABS-REL just saves the pilot some mental arithmetic. PMDG will simulate the config they have most information on, as they did with the NGX. It's not really important for us users as TCAS will work correctly whatever panel they choose. Just something else people can speculate about.
