HI all. Probably this will be off topic but i am unable to find the b777  aircraft.cfg file for pmdg 777. even i have created one filebut it is not been visible in aircraft list box in flight dispatch box.

if anyone having pmdg 777 cfg files then plz share it or help me in this.

thankyou.

I'd also be interested to know if people have got the 777 working with FSCaptain? FSCaptain is a big part of my simming so I'm holding off my T7 purchase until I know its going to interact ok.

 

From my readings over at the FSCaptain Forums it appears that getting the T7 to work with FSC will be harder than it was getting to NGX to work (which was pretty straightforward).

Aircraft.cFg is in simobjects-airplanes-PMDG777-200LR

the problem is fixed but i have another problem pax and payload is not showing anything in fscaptain fcom guage. zero pax and payload appears on startup

Been an FSCaptain user for a few years now and use it all the time with the T7. I did the usual thing for getting a CFG for the T7 in FSCaptain...launch the FCDU in the T7 for the first time and it creates a CFG for FSC use. It may be awhile before Dutch puts out an internal interface for it as it looks like a number of common FS signals are not getting passed in the usual way that FSC can pick up on (e.g. the belt signal)...maybe with the coming SDK? I've found it works fine using manual payload/simulate load and manual fueling. This past weekend, I tried out auto payload to see what would happen and it appeared to work fine, though the PAX count and cargo weights didn't update themselves until after the load was complete (the gross weight climbed steadily while loading was underway however). I never use the auto fueling feature of FSC with any PMDG aircraft. Anyway, I always see PAX/Fuel/Payload figures in the FCDU (and see the red/green weight disparity/match figures). Might want to check the load map for the CFG in FSCaptain and make sure the key fields are populated.

 

Can't wait for things to get completely sorted with it...had a bird strike/engine failure occur shortly after takeoff from NZAA; however, with the present state of T7 & FSCaptain interaction, there was no actual effect on the aircraft. FSCaptain is the ideal tool for this aircraft.

Hi. So you mean I should do manual loading of pax and cargo.? Problem is there is zero pax and payload figures in Fcom. Uac is off on my computer and fscaptain run as administrator. If you have pmdg CFg file fscaptain configured. Plz share it. Thank you.

At work, so I can't do anything at the moment, but yes, I'd give manual loading a shot (simulate load also, just for realism's sake). Bear in mind that it's looking at the payload weight in total (PAX/Cargo) and not individual PAX numbers. I haven't tried any of the more advanced loading stuff FSC now offers.

 

I might be doing it weird, but I typically do "off the cuff" FSC flights mostly, i.e. no ahead of time setup in the FSC Administrator. I'll load into an airport, call up the FCDU, pop in my time limit, and see what flights, if any, are available. Most of the time, they're charters, but for those airports where I generated an FSC schedule at some point, I'll come across scheduled flights. The charters often go to places I've never been...part of the reason I like the off-the-cuff method. Anyway, I'll find the flight I want, go to my second PC and check out the destination in EFB and then put together a flight plan in FSBuild...which gets exported to the FSX machine, then I select the flight and start the FSC flow. The FCDU will show the estimated fuel needed, PAX count, and payload. At that point, I'll set the T7's fuel to the estimated amount (it's usually in the ballpark), then begin the boarding process in the FCDU. During the boarding process, the FCDU displays the payload information - current T7 load and load called for by the manifest. I'll bring up the T7's CDU and adjust the payload using the % entry method until it's pretty close to what the manifest calls for and do finer adjustments using the T7's PAX/Cargo entries (remember, load is manual, but simulated). If you nail the weight, the current T7 and manifest payload numbers will be green. If not, after loading, the FCDU will bring up a page that allows you to reconcile the load...per the manifest or per the current load on the T7. That's it, loading done. From there, I proceed in FSC up to the point where it's waiting for Pushback. THEN I start working on the T7's flows. When GSX initiates the pushback, FSC senses it and goes on with it's flow and the flight's underway. I do a similar process with flights I setup in the FSC Administrator prior to starting FSX and it works fine.

 

I seem to recall reading somewhere that for some flights (not scheduled), FSC will use the payload currently on the AC for the required payload...maybe that has something to do with your trouble? I've never see a 0/0 problem like you're talking about, but I don't think I'd totally trust the auto-payload method...it's always been tricky with advanced FSX add-on aircraft. I've tested out auto-payload twice on the T7 and it's been fine so far, but I prefer manual and NEVER auto-fuel. I suspect things will improve once Dutch and Travis sort out the T7 and what it calls for.

I use simload and the pmdg loader to load the plane. I don't let fs captain load my pmdg planes and it works fine. I would appreciate the option for more alternates especially for etops flights.

New Beta available. External FCDU, not via aircraft cfg

 

These enhancements are included with version 1.04.06:

- External FCDU as a Windows application. The FSCaptain\bin folder now contains a new program, FCDU.exe, which you can place a shortcut on your desktop or start menu by using standard Windows procedures (navigate to the FCDU.exe program, right click on it, and select "Pin to Start Menu"). Executing this program will give you an FCDU that runs on your desktop outside of FSX. It operates eactly the same, and has exactly the same capabilities and limitations, as the guage one. It is not necessary to install anything, or make any modifications at all in an aircraft's panel.cfg or any other configuration file to use this FCDU with the airplane. It is truly "out of the box". This external FCDU can also be run on another windows based PC by configuring SimConnect on the other PC to connect to the FSX machine.

- The sound system of FSCaptain has been substantially revamped. The visible result is a new dialog in the Administrator that will allow you to configure your sound (voices and music). To access this, go to the Options for All Airlines tab and click on the "Sound Config" button in the ACARS configuration section on the lower right quandrant of the page. A new option, "Monitor PA" will allow you to decide if you want to listen to your Flight Attendants making public announcements to the passengers or not. It is checked by default to preserve the functionality of previous versions, where this wasn't an option. If you check this you will still hear all FA communications with the cockpit over the intercom, but not the PA announcements (except, possibly, faintly through the door.)
