Just wondering if the are any plans to include PMDG's 747-8? The 747-400 works just fine.
Thanks

Hi XMan,
we can only support the 748 if we can get the Lvars (program variables used by Simconnect) for this airplane. Nobody in the team owns this plane, so we rely on user input. If you are interested in helping: the procedure is outlined in "Introduction To FSCaptain Interfaces.pdf" in the documentation folder. You only need to perform steps I-IV, no programming is required. In short, you would need to install Linda (freeware), analyze the Lvars when a door (or other non-working equipment) is opened or closed, and send us a report.
Cheers,
Peter

Thanks for the reply Peter! Sounds easy enough. I have the P3D version - is that OK?

Hi XMan,
yes, the P3D version should be fine. Thanks for looking into this.
Best,
Peter

Wait so don't want me to:
V. Write those names and values into code???
Hahaha! I am on it
I read the instructions - straight forward, only this I wish I had a list of switches I need to record, PMDG has a lot of them.

Hi XMan,
When I was faced with a new aircraft to be interfaced, I would set LINDA to list all changing LVAR values (the "Start All" button) and then filter out the LVARs that were meaningless to me.
At that point, I would start with my "Systems Needs List" and flip the Nav Lights switch and notice any changes, then repeat for Structural Anti-ice, etc.
Sometimes several switches need to be in the correct position - for example we have a single Windshield Heat signal, but I recall that some aircraft have four or more switches - one for each pilot's forward view and one for each pilot's side view. In a case like this, all four aircraft signals would need to be accounted for.
Regards,

xmanThe 748-8 works fine in v4 without editing anything. Only thing I've noticed is that the opened doors are not recognized untill you open and close them and the PAX chime to alert the cabin for take-off/landing doesn't work yet. ~iMoveQuick
