Good day everyonefollowing the arrival of Alitalia's first new Airbus A330-200s, i have decided to design their livery for the Wilco "Airbus Series Vol2" model. The paint itself is complete, photoreal for as much as possible and including both exterior and interior. The problem is that a friend of mine reports a problem with the texture alignment between the mid and aft sections of the fusolage which doesn't show up when I run the livery in FS9. I have aligned the two sides differently for this purpose: the left side is the configuration that comes out aligned in my system and the right side is with the textures aligned as per paintkit. To him, they both are not aligned. I would like to ask if anyone was willing to "betatest" this livery for me and help me diagnose and possibly solve this problem because I have come to a dead end for the development.Here is the download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2GB3EIA0Thank you in advance for your help.Luca

Stunning paints, can't wait for it to come out!Any chance you can preview us the Alitalia livery? :D

Hi everyone!My setup is coming up real well but is still pretty generic, I would like to specialize it to the MD80.My first question is: is there a simple way to interface real aircraft parts into my computer? The question is related especially to audio and electronic material like hand held microphones and real switches. Real aicraft mics and headsets have a bigger jack, is there anything such as a gender changer where you insert your aicraft audio jack and it comes out PC size? Or is there a more complicated problem related to powering the unit?My second question is if anyone knows if there are suppliers out there that build MD80 FMC/CDUs and MCPs on the style of Engravity for example. There are tons and tons of 737 and Airbus material out there, but nobody has ever thought of the poor Maddog ;)Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone!I have a very basic and generic setup for my cockpit made up mostly of GoFlight modules and some custom built parts and casings, expanding it every year as a new idea comes up.After regretting the purchase of the GoFlight TQ6 which, after breaking of the housing in lever n

Hi everyone!I am currently building a generic setup oriented towards the MD-80. Up to now i've been using mostly GoFlight components; does anyone know where I can find electronics mimicking the Maddog such as MCP, FMC and Throttle?Thank you in advance

wow, that looks amazing. It would save me a lot of building time and would make a great substitute for my GoFlight throttle quadrant that unfortunately has a broken lever. Since I fly MD80s most of the time i think it's time to move on to a more realistic twin jet setup. I also like the trim wheel, startup and landing gear additions. I would like to second on the request: Does anyone know how I can get one of these? ;)

Hi everyone!Since I purchased Ultimate Terrain Europe, or maybe a little later, I noticed that my terrain textures have not been texturizing properly. Instead of the clear ground textures with autogen on it, I often see blurred areas of color, and don't get the crisp texture until maybe I start approach or some miracle happens and they texturize. When this happens I also get no or very poor autogen. I heard there was something to change in the fs9.cfg. I have all my scenery, world and hardware settings to maximum. Any addon scenery or terrain like Rome Scenery from Cloud9 visualizes properly.Can somebody help me out?(I attached a picture from my last flight yesterday, wanted to post it in the screenshots area but then noticed that the terrain over the alps didn't texturize properly, so i will use it as an indication over here ;) )

Hello everybody,I'm building a generic setup in my room in order to increase realism during flights, nothing spectacular but very fun to fly in. I am in search of a flexible throttle quadrant which can function for 2,3 or 4 engines like the GoFlight one, since I fly many different aircraft especially MD80, 737, 767, 747 and Douglas three holers ;) .I own a GoFlight throttle but it does not fufill my expectation completely: it works great but the levers are too flimsy and one of them broke off after a few months leaving me with a "no more than 3 engine" problem. Anyone know other good TQs that can do this?Thank you very muchLuca

I too would prefer the old style instruments, but a comparison would be nice to have in order to check out the technical and operational differences between the two. To add to the airlines cited, Alitalia also used the analog standby instruments. http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=0028...622&tbl=COCKPITIt would be really great if we could have both panel variants and liveries which install according to the company setup of either analog or digital ;)

ah perfect, now it all works fine. Thanks volonteer!I can finally try out this wonderful addon, hope to spend some hours with it flying :D

nope, engines are off

yes, that's precicely the point. Usually when you insert the position in STBY mode, you press the N key, the "enter" light comes on, you enter the latitude and press it to confirm. Then you press E and the same thing should happen. This time though it does not, it just freezes. For example the coordinates for LIRF Fiumicino airport in Rome are: E012.15.0 .I press E and nothing happens. If I continue inserting the coordinates, when I get to the 2 ( which also corrisponds to N ) it gets it as an attempt to enter a new latitude and cleares the previousely inserted one. It's just as if the E and W key do not respond... ;)Thanks everybody for the previous answers. Guy, tell us if re-installing the INS works, maybe it's a software error developed during installation :D

I get the same problem as well.After the 5 minute heating up process is done, i switch to ALIGN with parking brakes set. When I enter the N latitude everything is fine, but when I need to enter the longitude, pressing E does not activate the longitude insertion and all the coordinates I select do not get inserted into the INS. I remain therefore with a display of N41.48.1 E000.00.0I tried changing the modes, waiting more time, but nothing, it seems as if the E and W keys are frozen
