Project Airbus – Talk

Give it a break guys. The PA Team is bound to come out with a FSX native VC Model, but until then they are taking a much needed rest. Lets be grateful they even did a VC. While I know their are some bugs, we do you expect, this model IS NOT meant for FSX. Give them some time. Eventually they will g...

i have a question about the vc in FSX:

Is the following in FSX normal: ?

It seems pretty much the same as mine although make sure that the variant that uses the PA gauges has PAgauges at the end of the title line (case sensitive). That should bring back your E/WD.

a125 wrote:Ohhh, that fixed it but now when I go to the VC i can see everything but I cant see out the windows. It is just brown

I'm guessing you tried during night? Unfortunately brown windows at night is one of the issues with the VC in FSX

wow this is exactly what I have been looking for, thanks... the only unfortunate part is it doesn't work for me :( I follow these steps but only get a white plane... and the VC is there but its all just white Could you check your FSX Display settings and make sure 'Preview DirectX 10' is unchecked....

I am running FSX... does the VC work for it? Well, it works but the VC is FS9 native so you'll experience some bugs and as far as I know, the PA team won't support using it in FSX. But the instructions should still work, just substitute the FS9 'Aircraft' folder for 'SimObjects/Airplanes'. If you a...

The VC should be included in the FS9 base package. Just download that and extract it to your FS9 'Aircraft' folder, then download a livery and also extract that to your 'Aircraft' folder. Then it's just running the _Livery Installer_PA.bat file located in either Aircraft\Project Airbus A380-861, Air...

Thanks again for the tutorial No problem :) Tried this method and it is still not appearing in the game. :( If it isn't appearing when you go to the 'Virtual Cockpit' view, it's most likely using the wrong model. Make sure that you've copied over one of the model folders (model.vc_ea or model.vc_rr...

Anyone having problems installing the VC into FSX, try this: Note: This is not a FSX native model so you may experience bugs For this guide, I'm assuming you are installing the VC into an existing A380. 1) If you haven't already, download the VC package (found in the FS9 base package here ) and unzi...

I think he means having service vehicles around the aircraft when parked at the gate. For example, air stairs, buses, catering...etc.

Put basically, it smoothens jagged/pixelated edges

Done all Engines and right side now i'm so confused how to tern the model around faceing the other way to repaint the other side? Also i have no ideia how to do the tail.. I'm not sure if this is how its meant to be done but I do the following: - Disable all right side layers - Enable all left side...

Thats why I put fictional
I think they were considering it but EADS (Airbus' parent company) decided not to bid

Distributed Denial of Service. Basically spamming the servers with tonnes of requests to either make it extremely slow or cause it to go offline

Working fine here :?

Nice work!

Thanks

As my graphics card is now making FS stutter every 10 seconds, I thought I'd have a go at a repaint. Below is a fictional Air Force One A380. This is my first repaint so I've probably made a lot of errors :oops: Errors I am aware of: - Curves (such as the one on the tail) need to be smoothened - A p...

Make sure you're not saving with Mips. If you're using DXTBMP, uncheck the 'Include when saving' checkbox on the right under MipMaps

doesn't work for me 0.0 does the other view points work :?: and will that view point mod work the included panel.cfg mean can I add it below the alias inluded panel.cfg which is aliased to MS default 747 :?: BR Thomas As the panel.cfg is just referencing the 747's panel, I think you have to copy th...

Thanks PA Team

They're a bit too big to send by email. It looks like AVSIM downloads go through FTP so try a different browser or try clicking on the link at the bottom of the download page

:shock: Great photos! Sorry to hi-jack the thread but just thought I would post a few (resized) from my trip last July with Singapore Airlines. Quality comes no where near Tom's and Stephen's because I took them with my iPhone - didn't have a proper camera :( LHR-SIN http://i32.photobucket.com/album...

dotsalgon wrote:Oh good!
But if I remember correct the runways are not that long for the A380 in Johannesburg in FS. Right?

I've just checked and they are roughly the same size as their real life counterparts so there shouldn't be a problem landing

dotsalgon wrote:O.o I didn't know that Johannesburg could accomodate an A380??

I think they made upgrades for the A380 as part of their major re-development as Air France have been operating their A380's there since mid February

AirNewZealand_A320 wrote:you can add a crash model?

According to this you can

Most of the releases (well all now) aren't stored on PA's servers. Instead, try AVSIM. Search their file library for "Project Airbus" and you should find the packages

There are only 3 model properties that you can add:
normal - (for the normal aircraft model)
interior - (for the interior/VC model)
crash - (the 3D crash model)

So if you're trying to add 2 normal aircraft models, you'll have to create a separate aircraft folder for the other model

Inbreker wrote:Cool. Could it work in FSX? Or are there differences in effects files etc between FSX and FS9?

I've just tried it in FSX (with the A319) and it seems to work pretty well

EDIT: Just realised from the reply below why the effect seems a bit 'off' on my system

Hi, the smoke trails are horizontally aligned with the wings, but they are too far forward... they start at the front of the wing, almost in front of the engines... what numbers I need to change? thx!! Try reducing the first number (you may have to go into the minus figures) to bring the contrail b...

I had a look and I've got the same problem. I also mucked around with the Smoke System section from the aircraft.cfg, changing it from: [SMOKESYSTEM] smoke.0=88.0,-17.3,-39.8, fx_contrail_320 smoke.1=88.0,-17.3,39.8, fx_contrail_320 to [SMOKESYSTEM] smoke.0=88.0,-39.8,-17.3, fx_contrail_320 smoke.1=...

I'm a bit out of that range (been 18 for about 4 months). In the case you still want it, I've been using FS for roughly 8 years.

+10 easter eggs to any eagle eyed viewer who can tell us whats out of place (apart from the RR engines on an EK livery ;) ) If you look, when the plane is banking (0:45), at the wing root, the darker grey shouldn't extend as far forward as it does as seen in this photo. I would have agreed if I had...

Great video! Can't wait for the release

As for something being out of place, could it be the Emirates red flag colour not extending onto the fuselage? :?
