In all areas that you listed the 777-300ER 1.4 is identical to the 1.32.

I'm running the SU15 beta

Probably the reason.


Thank you for updating the CS Store model!

i HOPE CAPTAIN SIM WILL MAKE USE OF THE FOLLOWING TO CREATE A MODIFIED wlrs-captainsim-b77w-ge90 FOLDER THAT WILL WORK WITH THE NEW ANIMATIONS, AS IT IS TOO EASY FOR INDIVIDUAL USERS TO MAKE MISTAKES FOLLOWING MY INSTRUCTIONS.

It also would not be hard to make 1.3.2 work with the MSFS Marketplace versions following the modification to a folder name I described here:
https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1697590840

I got the CS Store version working with Fix 1.3.2 but it took some doing.   

These are the changes to the 1.3.2 FIX to make it work with the new CS Store 777-300ER with animations.  In the following, you will be copying from the newly installed CS777-300ER folder to the wlrs-captainsim-b77w-ge90 folder, installed in the Community folder.  I suggest you make a copy of that folder as a backup.  THESE CHANGES DO NOT INVOLVE ANY MODIFICATIONS OF THE NEWLY INSTALLED CS777-300ER FROM CAPTAIN SIM - ONLY COPYING ENTRIES FROM THAT FOLDER TO THE wlrs-captainsim-b77w-ge90 folder AS EXPLAINED BELOW.

1) Copy the new version of the m773_305.xml file from the CS777-300ER model folder to the corresponding folder in the 1.3.2 CS777-300ER model folder and overwrite.  DO NOT COPY THE m773_305_Interior.xml file!

2) In the CS773 model folder, open m773_305_interior.xml file with notepad and copy the entries beginning with    
<Component ID="EFB1">
and ending just before the following entry at the very end of the file.
  </Behaviors>
</ModelInfo>

These are the entries for the new animations.

Open the Fix 1.3.2 m773_305_interior.xml in that folder's model folder.

Go to the very end of that file.
Paste what you have just copied (from the CS773 m773_305_Interior.xml) into the Fix 1.3.2 version just before the entries at the very end,
</Behaviors>
</ModelInfo>

3. In the CS773 folder, open the panel folder and then open the panel.cfg file with notepad.

   A) Near the end of the file are two entries, [VCockpit16] and [VCockpit17]

        Copy both entries at the end of the corresponding file in the Fix 1.3.2. 77W folder, right after entry [VCockpit15].
        These are the entries to activate the EFB panel that controls the new animations.

   B) You need to compare the entries, in the two panel.cfg files,for the textures in the CS77W panel folder and in the fix 1.3.2. panel folder.  I found that the names for the pfd texture (entry 1) the mfd texture (entry 2) and the FMC texture (entry 5) are  changed in the new CS773 with animations.  In the new panel file the textures have a number 1 after them, in the Fix 1.3.2. version they don't, resulting in blank screens.  Change the 1.3.2. panel.cfg entries to what you see in the new CS777-300ER panel.cfg file.

I did this rather hurriedly so be sure and back up the wlrs-captainsim-b77w-ge90 folder.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE ANY CHNAGES TO THE NEW CS777-300ER FOLDER WITH THE ANIMATIONS.

Mike
