Project Airbus – Talk

If it's your own bitmap, it's OK. Regarding the gauges, most authors include their e-mail address in the readme file. If it's not there, look for more panels from that guy on avsim/flightsim, in case you find the addy in another readme file.

I suppose you have permission from the authors of the originals to edit their bitmaps?

I need someone to work on it, as I don't have the time.

Scroll down to see the new A315 design. Looks like a baby shark...

No game engine to date can render that kind of lighting in real time. These are from one of 3ds max's renderers, taking hours to produce one single image. In more advanced graphics engines (i.e. Rise of Flight, Unreal Engine 3, CryEngine 3) you can imitate that lighting to some extent, but ray-trace...

- According to your manual, the spoilers have the ARM position. But I can't arm it whatever by mouse than with shift+/. Because I've tried some RTO but the spoilers didn't move. (VAS version) With the PA version, same problem. Also, when spoilers deployed, it says spoilers armed... - According to y...

Change the first number (301). I can't check the coordinates right now, but increase it a bit. The numbers are as follows: 301 0 302 311 Xposition Yposition Xsize Ysize The axes' origin is the top left corner of the $VC bitmap image.

There is an LS button under the barometric alt setting. Make sure FD is on, AP active and click on LS.

Then you should add the panel.cfg entry yourself, and install a HUD gauge in FS9\Gauges

1. You have to edit the title 2. You have to add the HUD gauge in panel.cfg There's a HUD entry already there, having // in the beginning of the line. Remove these, and copy the gauge files in panel\_hud. Then change in panel.cfg the gaugexx=_hud!hud to gaugexx=_hud!HUD-GAUGE-NAME. Don't change the ...

VAS has an old version, that's the one I'm using. As Ghostmaster said. ^^

help me out with telling me how to make it work on my FSX?

People, don't ask for FSX instructions here, the model is FS9 native. If someone has it installed in FSX properly, send him a PM or start a new topic in the General forum.

We don't know yet. Let us take a breath.

Change the sound.cfg file to alias to the default 737.

Callouts are available with the VAS gauges. There are none with the PA or Ken's IIRC and I think you can't add any by yourself.

Here's an example: title=Project Airbus A380-861 Air France HUDL HUDR HUDL shows the left HUD. HUDR shows the right one. Write the HUD parts in capitals, for them to appear. The HUDs are retracted, above the pilots' heads. Click on the HUD arm to extend/retract it. I forgot to mention there's no HUD...

The fs9 .gau version.I'm on Win7 x64 and have no problems.

The climb problem is there only with VAS.VAS FMC doesn't support vertical navigation. That means that, no matter what you do in the MCDU, it is not programmed to automatically change FLs. You'll have to set the altitude and Vertical Speed by hand, because VAS hasn't modeled the VNAV feature yet.

go to http://www.vas-project.org and download the latest FS9 version of VAS. Once installed, you should get the gauges in the VC. There's no 2D panel for the 380,it was intended to be flown from the VC.

We're considering converting the VC to FSX. For now, we need a break.

You have to select a vertical speed by hand. I think I got the same problem above 10000ft; RClick on the VS knob, select a Vertical speed manually and it'll climb there.

Then it should climb. I flew yesterday and it worked OK. Did you RClick on the knob and select a VS?

As far as I remember, VAS doesn't include VNAV. I wonder how you got up to 10000ft without using ALT hold in the first place!

Nope...

Did you download the updated base package from Dropbox (link in VC release topic)? And no rmi? No RMI, no brake pressure gauge, sorry. You can find both these gauges on avsim (there's a brake pressure gauge by Martin Becker). Download the A380 Manual from the release topic to see instructions on how...

If you're using the VAS FMC version, make sure you have redownloaded the base pack (updated today). Then go to VAS-project.org, download and install VAS. It should work properly. In case you're using the PA gauges version, you don't need to download anything. The panel.cfg files are set up to work w...

Or hit V and + or -.

Nope. We tried and couldn't do it. You can update the panel.cfg easily, if you follow the instructions found in the cockpit manual's archive. There's a .txt and an image file included in the manual's download, explaining the proccess.

You can, but it'll run very slowly as it's not an FSX native model.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually, the backup RMI and brake pressure gauge won't be there, as we couldn't get in touch with the authors to license them.

We've been working our tails off lately, trying to iron out bugs and improve the cockpit. :D Apart from the "repairs", here's a look at the VC floodlights, turned on and off with the landing lights. They're just for the looks, but I think they look cool. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21574664/Li...

6 people from within PA
Model: me

Base textures: Thanasis & Panos Delizisis and me
Baked textures: Derek
Gauges: Gary, Demetris (many PA gauges were based on Ken Mitchell's A340 panel)
Time to complete: almost 3 years

Adriano1243 wrote:Any picts or news?

None so far. I'm being discharged from army service on Aug. 16th, so any work will be done afterwards.

Alpha45 wrote:can the VASfmc be merged into the VC ??

VAS would have to change the button layout to match the 380's one.

Lookin very nice, Alexis! Just curious, are there any (visual) differences between the A321 cockpit and the ones on the 319 and 320? If not, perhaps this VC could be included in the updated PA's A319 and 329 (318?) models (Vers. 2.1)? Great work anyway... thumbs up! There's almost no difference bet...

Ah thought so. So for the LCD would you just Boolean a square into the fwd section, or model the square from the start? ------------------------------------ [ L ] Learner Modeller Plates ------------------------------------ No, I try to avoid boolean operations as much as possible. -You start with ...

AirNewZealand_A320 wrote:I understand that its the CRT screens. what has more polys LCD or CRT.
I know that there would be minimal difference if any. Im just a guy taking interest in VC Modelling.

CRT has more, because you have to do the rounded corners.

Brett-Hill wrote:Very ver nice modeling, can't wait to see some textures for it. But from reading above im confused... will we be expecting a seperate model for fsx ?

I haven't said so, but it is a possibility.

They will be visible.

Sorry, couldn't upload it from dropbox.

Here's an ingame preview. FPS is a solid 60 (locked there).
Still a lot of bugs to iron out though.

That means three separate mdls. I think 90% of current systems can easily run a model that is 30% above the FS9 polygon limit. And I say 90% because of FS9's rendering limitations. Games like Unreal Tournament 3 and Crysis 2 can render millions of polygons at once.

I love US Airways' livery and I'm definitely getting this one!

The old PA A320 CFM sounds were very good. They're from the FS2k2 version, I think you can find them on avsim.com/projectairbus

Thank you Alexis for anwsering my questions. I have expected that a full interior model will have a lot polygons, so can you imagine to get a additional single VC to the A321? It's not hard to reduce the current VC model to cockpit only. However I am a guy who likes to have stuff to explore, so I'l...

Never satisfied...You'll get some shots soon.

Wow ... this is really amazing! :D You do a great job and your Addons make lots of fun to fly! Well, if you build a A321 virtual cockpit, so is there a possibility for the upcoming A320 2.1 and perhaps for a reworked A319 or even A318? ^^ And a more serious question is, will you make a complete A32...
