Well, shouldn't be too hard to find (since I know I, as well as others, passed the lore on multiple times.)
And they are still going around these days too. :(

Mark, what would be your recommendation to start with? I have the 757, 767, and 777. I need something relatively easy and mature to get back into FSX. And are we still counting ticks to get the COG? So much I've forgotten!
In all truth, the 757 and 767, which are almost identical, would be the best to start with.
Having said that, I do love the way the 777 "requests" the info, and providing the ZFW, which sure beats going to the Fuel and Payload section of the menu and adding the pax and cargo weight to the empty weight to come up with a ZFW. I must be getting slack in my old age! :o

EDIT: I still suggest the 757/767 as a starter, but only because they are better performing aircraft. AND the 767 is still my favourite out of the the 757, 767 &777!

So airplanes are installed, but haven't done anything with liveries. I've only had time to look at them at the gate lol. How wretched is that? I can see I have some work to do on the 777 cabin, unless it really only works for KLM. I haven't checked the documentation yet. Working and grad school is kicking my tail.
There are too many polygons in the Pax cabin of the 777 to allow it to be included with the VC of the 777. We have "wished for" a reduced cabin (like what is found in the 757) so that we can at least get the first/Business Class included. Because there is no VC included in the CS_B777_PAX model, I don't fly it. I only load it to "wander around the cabin and marvel at Captain Sim's handiwork". Too hard to fly. IF Captain Sim were to include 2D panels, it might get up in the air. Although I am a huge fan of "VC only", I do understand why there is a need, by many simmers, to have them.
