hey Jordan would you mind explaining how exacty you swap the gex door info because I already tried that but it has caused issues where the stairs now go to ddor 2 but it still asks to open door 1 or where two sets of stars go to door 2 or the animation of the stars extension does not work on door 2 etc etc so not sure how to get it right . do you need to swap over the code? and or change the door location via the editor and change the name? tks kav

can anyone tell me what the absolute legal minimum landing fuel should be for the 777LR. I mean after all contingency and alternate fuel is used ? tks kav

Ok so just re installed the 777 to see if that would fix this and still the engines wont shut down at all now. kav

so you were no longer able to shut them down using the vc cut off switches rather using contro/shift/s ?this is not ideal if that's the case? kav

as the title says sometimes the engines still run after I have switched the cut off to off . they appear to run down on the eicas but there is still sunning sound and thrust like normal and gex is asking me to shut down the engines but I cant? kav

suddenly out of the blue I get an fsx style message requesting product activation . so I tried to uninstall the 777 and re install but still the same and I cant find any entry for it in the registry. any help appreciated tks kav NOW SOLVED

hi could you explain exactly what you were doing each time when the ctd occurred because I have had similar experiences with other approaches such as selecting a runway and or sid and still being in an offset things like that? tks kav

How exactly would you use route two to set up another approach or for etops? I find it hard to see how having an entire route in there could be useful for either of these surely if you suddenly switch to rte two the aircraft would try to refly it from the start because it still contains all the waypoints? can someone explain it to me thanks kav

Hi Micheal I can see the issue with spaces but for some reason it wont let me have any spaces at all or it makes them huge I am certainly not chosing them to be that way some problem here I think when posting cheers kav

"With regard to the previous poster, I'm not sure why anyone would rock up in a thread about designing 2D panels just to knock them, other than to troll. So let's not engage in that discussion again" Absolutely no trolling intended just my opinion on the whole 2d panel thing as I said in my post everyone has different taste but .............it does get very tedious this whole 2d panel thing when a small minority of customers or even not customers keeps complaining to the development company requesting that they spend time retreating technological advances rather than embracing advances because this actually would impact all of the rest of us who enjoy advancement fully ( which is the norm in life generally when it comes to technology). So were the company to eventually give in to a few complaints and start to devote valuable development time and resources to creating 2 d panels again for those few stuck in the past and or reluctant to find ways to make 3d work well for them like the rest of us have had to do then it would have an impact on the level of the products for the rest of us as there is only finite time and resource to produce such a product,. So yes its annoying to keep hearing this particularly as the company has clearly stated its over and the reasons why which the majority of us agree with I have absolutely no doubt. So having been a dev myself for another well known addon company it would start to grate me if after going to great lengths to produce an excellent cutting edge product and be one of the best addon developers as a result only to have a few still complaining and requesting I scrap these latest advances in favour of older less popular technology . and Bryn my original comments were not actually aimed at you rather those complaining about there being no 2d anymore again and again cheers kav

Of course everyone is entitled to their own tastes but personally I find this obsession with 2d and desire to remain in the past instead of embrace the amazing advances in fs truly bizarre. If this horrible 2d panel was the currant state of flight simulation having seen and had a taste of what you can experience I would pack up and forget about simming today. there is no 2d in a real flightdeck they are simply a horrible relic from a time when technology wouldn't allow more. To me it would be like replacing the fmc with an abacus! so I guess we all get something different out of flight simulation. and for me personally realism is absolutely key to enjoyment of it because its crucial to the all important immersion factor and feel there factor that a 2d simply does not provide. my suggestion is just use the vc use ezdoc but turn off any vibrations and movement it will actually be simpler this way than having to open a million 2d panels every time you want to turn a switch or look at a different panel.you cah zoom anywhere in a preset view with ezoc with one key press and configure the view to be perfectly still allowing easy mouse use .anywhere. .cheers kav

Hi Jason just wondered as a fellow modeller who did what ei vc mdl /exterior mdl on the 777 between you and Vin? because the accuracy and detailing is excellent for both and some really nice touches that deserve some praise here not only on the detailing but also the dimensional accuracy particularly in the vc which is so often not quite right in many many pay addons . The 777 is even in another league compered to the ngx as stunning as it is on this front..you have really got it right this time! cheers........... kav

The gear and flap mechanisms are probably the hardest parts to animate well in a model like this ...... kav

Hi are you sure because as far as im aware there has been no update for the actual aircraft yet only for the ops center.please correct me if I have missed it though? cheers kav

To the devs I noticed in the issue tracking thread that this issue has now been fixed but only the left MLG is mentioned. the right side also has a problem of the same nature but not as extreme where the mini door is protruding in the the main door. Needs re animating . plus door is wonky when open ie not flushly aligned at the top with the underside of the wing. Both left and right need attention here. cheers k

Hi Robin having looked at my folder set up for fly tampa s hong kong the process you described was already done and I never did it my self anyway still get the ctds there . kav

Hi Robin this set up was already done and I still am getting ctd approaching the area of hong kong kav

yes its dirt mainly in the top outer corners and only the front windscreens ive noticed is all ive seen but under certain lighting conditions uts almost invisible others very and its certainly not haze its clearly on the glass its self as you move your head view it is clearly on the window its self nice touch, kav

Yes really noticed this yesterday many bounces when acquiring alt under certain conditions . kav

well according to an air Canada 777lr captain in one of my 777lr polar routes dvd's they are also warned about flying over the pole in the real aircraft and to be prepared for violant autopilot manuveurs if you do so. so they fly to one side to avoid problems in true heading mode but still in lnav 50 -100 nm offset . kav

Hi the file path looks strange because recently i migrated my fsx installation to a new ssd drive all by its self leaving the operating system on the other. I decided to put the fsx folder in a new folder called program files incase I ever needed to install onother program on the drive so figured it wouldnt hurt.I am running win 7 64 bit home edit I have never tried running without acceleration never heard it could be an issue before. yes I am using imaginesim vhhh and kaitak scenery. I did try to replicate the flight again using the saved flight scenario and I got no ctd this time. I trid to mess with the fmc as much as I could trying every runway and sid etc but it was fine. cheers k

Having modelled a lot of the exterior of the fs labs up and coming a320 I can see instantly what has happened here as I have modelled and animated these same doors myself on the airbus. There is nothing wrong with the actual doors here its simply an animation issue. when the animation was done the mini doors were simply not rotated enough and what you are seeing is the two outer corners intruding in to the larger gear door. This same issue happened to me when I animated mine , its actually a particulally hard part to animate well because its not easy aligning the pivot point in max accurately along the edge of the door plus you have to match the opening rate of the larger door so that the smaller one always stays uniformly outside it smoothly without jerking. was a pian to do I remember. cheers kav

ok thanks will try that see how I go k

hi Robin thanks for testing im just trying to do the same but closer to destination. I have a few fsx config tweaks from Kostas guide I do have ai and autogen enabled . using ultimate traffic and autogen medium or low I think tks. kav

ok so I am testing this scenario. I did my third replicated flight just now same route exactly, everything identicle and again as I went to select the runway I got the fatel error and ctd. every time I have been in an offset and I am now starting to think this has something to do with it. I remember the pmdg 747 suffered from this same issue. if you try to re select a runway during cruise whilst still in an offset the sim would crash to desk top. I learned to come out of the offset in the 747 to avoid this and no problem ever after. the only thing is surely you should be able to enter runways or re enter runways whilst still in an offset. I am going to try to replicate again now for the forth time but with no offset and see what happens. Please devs could someone look in to this as I think I am on to something here could someone try and test this theory . I actually don't believe that the route matters or is relevant but here is my plan I was on each time Cruising at fl380 about 100 nm from tod, right one offset, fmc full of fix rings and nav data tuned for vhhh . only addones are ezcam and ultimate traffic . runway already selected was 7lL trans limes and I went to select the runway again in order to see the stars for that runway and that's when the crash occurs. I have replicated 3 times now easily and exactly. BIB DCT LAKED B473 CGO W7 IOO W3 AKOTA A583 SABNO V541 RAMUS V531 BETTY ths kav
