A380 VC Textures doesn't work properly

Post by adrianzowe »

Hi all,
First of all, excuse me if there is another topic about that, but i have been reading and reading, and could't find any post concerning this problem.

Yesterday I installed the new A380 basepack with the virtual cockpit. I have tested it today, and this is what happens:

I'll also post my .cfg entries (concerning to the fltsim sections):
[fltsim.0]
title = PA A380 Lufthansa Frankfurt VC VASFMCgauges HUDL
sim = air_a380
model = vc_rr
panel = vas
sound =

kb_reference =
atc_id = D-AIMA
atc_airline = Lufthansa
atc_flight_number = 380
ui_manufacturer = Project Airbus
ui_type = A380-841
ui_variation = Lufthansa 'Frankfurt' (Wingview)
ui_typerole = "Commercial Airliner"
ui_createdby = "Project Airbus"
description = Project Airbus presents the Airbus A380-800. Features include dynamic wingflex (with input from several new variables), accurate LAF simulation, parallel bogies, drooping control surfaces, hardcoded double strobes, and over 40 other custom xml parts. Visit us at www.pairbus.com.
atc_parking_types = GATE
atc_parking_codes = DLH

I don´t know if I'm making something wrong, but it's probably what's happenning.

Thank you in advance,
Adrián

Make sure the following files are in EVERY livery's texture folder:
-Cabin files
--cabin_l
--cabin_t
--floor_l
--floor_t
--glass_cabin
--pax_t
--paxt_l
-Cockpit files:
--All bmp files starting with VC_A380_
For example VC_A380_pedestal_t is the pedestal texture, while VC_A380_Pedestal_l has its lighting information

Oh, yeah. That files were missing. I installed a Third-party paint which doesn't have those files, so there was the problem.
I have installed the Lufthansa livery using the livery_installer.bat, and now it's fixed.

Thank you so much for your help, Alexis!

Glad to help! Just be sure to download the official base pack, always. If the model files aren't uploaded by PA, it's very likely you'll trip on missing or problematic files -and that's the reason we insist on downloading only official PA model packs.

My problem wasn't on the model but on the texture only. Thank you ;))

I know, but the official basepack contains the models and required textures.

Hello all!

I have a similar problem to the above picture. Some of the front cockpit panel is black, but the MFD's work fine, and the overhead panel is white completely. Is there a texture bug? The seats and aft cockpit are also completely black.

Are you sure you have the VC bitmaps like alexis mentioned?

Well, I actually have all the files mentioned above by Alexis, but still, the cockpit textures appear wrong.

This doesn't make sense. In each livery, there should be one set of textures, then the a/c should work fine.

Hello guys,

I've got an another problem with the VC in my FSX. The knobs for Speed and Heading are displayed wrong and also the FMC in the Pedalstal. The knobs ahve some grey "shining" and the FMC-Sidebuttons are displayed in the FMC.
There are also no numbers on the radio.
Here are 2 pictures.

The textures are originals from PA. And they have also the A380_VC infront.

Another problem is I have is: Flying by night with all lights on the cockpitglass is grey and I can't look through it. Thats only by night.

Thanks for your help
