bought the 777 today and used migration tool to install it.  My PC doesn't have FSX installed and the 777 works great in P3D.  I had to run P3D in Legacy mode to make it work. Wink

Confirm that B777 works in P3D Legacy mode if installed via P3D migration tool.
Thanks for the tip Wink

Interesting. But I do have FSX installed and do not really want to use the migration tool to put it in P3D.

Has anyone installed something in both FSX, then in P3D with the migration tool (or vica-versa)? How did it go.
I really should just try it myself, but I'm being lazy! Shocked Embarrassed

I love Captain Sim and own alot of their products, including the Space Shuttle Cheesy  I was so happy that my $70 CDN wasn't wasted with P3D.  I do own FSX but it's not installed.  Captain Sim 777 + FTX GLOBAL = Sim Heaven Smiley

p.s  I had to add this in the DLL.xml to get more sounds that were missing:

<Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Captain Sim 777 Sound</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>Captain_Sim\777\cs.sound.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

I also have to mention/confirm that i'm on Win8 64bit Wink  and the 777 works flawlessly in my P3D.

I have used the migration tool to install CaptainSim 777 in Prepar3D and none of the cockpit gauges work in the VC: the PFD and ND are black and none of the overhead switches work.

I am using Version 1.2 for the 777.

Any help would be more than welcome to get the bird flying in P3D.

I appear to be a newbie to the migration tool. If you run Prepar3D in legacy mode (which you can only do if you run the migration tool in Virtual FSX mode), then the gauges reappear and, indeed, as has been reported, the undercarriage suddenly reappears (otherwise absent)! So don't waste your time responding and I shall be a happy bunny again with CaptainSim in Prepar3D!

Legacy mode keeps crashing P3D for me. So not so lucky me. Shocked Undecided

I think it's because you already have fsx installed along with P3D on same computer.  Legacy works better alone with just P3D installed.

You need to have the Estonia Migrator Tool. In the Tool, enable "Virtual FSX", this allows you to install into P3D just about any FSX add on.

You leave "Virtual FSX" enabled in the Migrator tool, you can close the tool, and Virtual FSX will be enabled until you start the tool and disable it.

As long as Virtual FSX is enabled, you will get the "Legacy Mode" option in your Windows Start menu. Just double click on it and away you go.

Thanks
It did work. First time I saw the landing gear and DUs were all on.
Only major problem  was Legacy Mode is not stable in my PC. At least I managed to have 777.

It looks like I cannot have 777 in normal mode. I gave up on CS-777. I will uninstall it and CS-777 will  go to hangar.

Mark,

WKTZ's  following below recommendation works well for P3D. You have TO UTULIZE the Estonia Migrator Tool.
Only problem ,I think   my PC is not working well with Legacy Mode. You do not need uninstall FSX. May be you will manage better then me.

"You need to have the Estonia Migrator Tool. In the Tool, enable "Virtual FSX", this allows you to install into P3D just about any FSX add on.

You leave "Virtual FSX" enabled in the Migrator tool, you can close the tool, and Virtual FSX will be enabled until you start the tool and disable it.

No  luck either guys.  Worked with the DLL file and Migrator with latest update and no luck.  Looks the only true aircraft other than freeware that are work (oops never mind forgot where I was) anyway some other payware working very well.

All the other Captain Sim FSX products work just fine in P3D, it is ONLY their 777 v1.2 that doesn't. I thought it might be the WXR that was the problem, so I removed the entries from the panel.CFG, but that didn't solve it either. It might be the Terrain Radar that's causing it, so I will remove the entries for that in the panel.CFG and try it out.

For all I know, it might be one of the primary function of the 777 that causes the P3D CTD, and if that is the case, I won't bother with it in P3D.
Maybe Captain Sim can sort it out for the next update! We can always hope. Wink

Already FSX market is shrinking for CS .If CS does not react in sooner, will miss the P3D market. Sad
