ok so i dont know if im in the right place, relatively new to these forums so again my apologies in advance

 

i downloaded the Posky 777-200ER Saudia Arabian sky team livery scheme and im using the Greg wilson 777 panel,

i updated the FDE/Model files from the posky website. Im running FSX Deluxe with SP2

Hi, drwolf,

 

There could be several reasons for the wingflex animation.  Not sure about the thrust reverser animation, but fixing the wingflex might fix the thrust reversers.

 

First, if you go back to the original model that came with the Saudi Arabian package you downloaded, does that fix the problems?

 

Second, if that doesn't work, when you look in the panel folder of this aircraft, do you see subfolders named Posky777 and Pky_util?  The first one controls several animations.  (You can check this first too, as if they are missing you won't get several animations).

 

Also, it would be helpful to know the file name of the file ending in ".mdl" that came with the Saudi Arabian package you downloaded, and the name of the current .mdl file after you updated the model.

 

Can you give a link to the package you downloaded?

i fixed it, you were right, files were missing, i downloaded the animation files from posky, solved the problem

Glad to help!  In general, it's easy to install the wrong posky/sky spirit panel files.  Not sure which site you used, but if the model name starts with "OS" you want to use this site:

 

http://poskyarchive.com/

 

But if the model name starts with "SSP" you want to use this site:

Also, if the painter did it for a Skyspirit model (SSP), you may see weird things, especially at night, if you use an "OS" model and visa versa.
