Installing for the B377 Stratocruiser

[guenseli]

Hello Dutch, hello Travis,

I just used FsC for the NGX till today, but wanted it install also now into the A2A B377.

I installed via the ACARS installer (the FCOM is popping up in the VC as it should)
And I added the lines in the VC section.

But all I got after "login" is "this ACARS cannot get a link with the Flight Data Recorder ..etc"

Any idea?

Here is my VC section:

[Vcockpit00]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=512,512
visible=1
pixel_size=512,512
texture=$map

gauge00=b377!code,  1,1,1,1
gauge01=b377s!l2a, 2,2,1,1
gauge02=b377a!status,  4,4,1,1
gauge03=b377a!damage, 5,5,1,1
gauge04=b377s!hotas, 7,7,1,1
gauge05=b377s!random, 8,8,1,1
gauge06=b377sv2!lua, 9,9,1,1
gauge07=b377sv2!storage, 10,10,1,1

[Vcockpit01]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=1024,1024

visible=1
pixel_size=1024,1024
gauge00=FCDU!FDR,1,1,1,1

Note: I have tried to insert is as gauge 08 in VCockpit00, but no success, so I tried to add this [Vcockpit01] but does also not work.
Normally the B377 does only have the [Vcockpit00]!


What have I missed?
many thanks!

Hi Günter!

I had similar problems with the coolsky DC9. The installs go well, but the Communicator couldn't link to the FDR.

This isn't an elegant solution, but try to move the FDR gauge manually into the panel window with the FCOM / FCDU. That's the only way I can get it to work for the DC9.

I'm sure there's some (mumbo-jumbo) reason that the VCockpit-based FDR isn't working well in those complex aircraft....

Hello Travis,

thanks, your suggestion worked ...


But unfortunately I have FSX crashing in the moment I switch on seatbelt signs in the B377.
I have already disabled switching signs in the administrator but it doesn't help.


EDIT: disregard, doesn't have anything to do with FSC
