The Salty 747 mod is very nice and fluid. I hope they continue with it.

Haven't tried it.  What is it?

747 mod

GitHub - saltysimulations/salty-747: An open-source modification for the default MSFS 747-8, aiming to improve the lacking features and realism of the default aircraft.

 

Would be nice if people lead with the links instead of just talking about it without it.

Yall are all smarter than me, I thought you would know about it.........😶

Can anyone confirm if TCAS is working with last salty mod release? Can you see the traffic at radar? Thanks

 Asobo 747 = McDonald's French Fries in 2020.  They're food when you're hungry,  otherwise taste like cardboard cooked in grease.

Salty's 747 Mod = McDonalds Fries from back in the day,   when they were delicious and covered in salt.

I cannot confirm,  however,  it is mentioned in the Readme of 0.4.0.

 tested and TCAS don't work in my case

When I try to load a flight plan generated in simbrief it gives me error : wrog pilot ID... In the salty options my user name is displayed. Any clues how to fix that?

Yes, you have to enter your numeric ID, not your name.
You'll find it in Simbrief's page > My account > Simbrief data.
😉

Can someone please recommend a couple of real-life and good liveries for the B747?

Hi Edmundo,

Here you are:
https://flightsim.to/c/liveries/boeing-747/

Just make sure they have the green flag "SU5 compatible" before installing them.

Thanks David.

David, I don't see any numbers in my account settings.

Can you give more details, please?

I see the pilot ID (5 digits)  in the briefing, Is that the one?
