Has anyone installed the new TL 747 by Posky in FSX? I d/led it and installed per the instructions and I get a black interior with just a few gauges showing.

If anyone knows a fix for this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks - Rick

I got it guys. I poked around on the web and found the answer. I didn't know to move a copy of the 747.cab to the panel folder. (The following says to move it to the main gauges folder, but I just put it in the panel folder and it works.)

Here's what I found:

VC in Posky 747

If you want to have a working VC in FSX, leave the original model.cfg as-is, then follow these steps:


1.Place a COPY of B747_400_interior.mdl into the POSKY model folder.
2.Open the "texture" folder in the default FSX 747 and, again, COPY each of the B747_400_x_C.dds texture files into the POSKY texture folder.
3.Move a COPY of the Boeing747-400.cab from the default 747 panel folder into the main Gauges folder so that all add-ons will have access to that set of gauges. NOTE- I put this copy in the panel folder.
Don't forget to change the eyepoint and reset the sound alias to the default 737-800 if you're not already using an add-on sound pack.

Another thing I've been working on this evening is updating the FDE to the new 9.7 version. I did this and low and behold, I didn't have a VC. I spent a good deal of time on this issue before it dawned on me that the eyepoint setting in the new aircraft config file was incorrect. If you use the default B744 VC, set your eyepoint to :
eyepoint=-34.500, -2.000, 11.000

If I find out any other things that will benefit by change, I'll add them to this thread.
