Anyone have it working in P3D V2 - thank you

Anyone have it working in P3D V2 - thank you

it looks like that... just flying from EDDB to ENGM without problems yet!

Kai

Kai,

Your flight is in P3D v2? Are your strobe, wing and navigation lights working in P3D and, if so, how did you get them to work?

I presume you are running in legacy mode.

Kai awesome news but when you say legacy mode does that mean I need to keep Estonia tool running while running P3D or just use tool to install it - any other tweaks other than your sound to do ? thank you

Regards, Rich

Kai wow didn't know that interesting and thanks for the help - I was wondering why that exe was in there and now I know take care.

The 777-300 Expansion Model and 777 Freighter Expansion Model have been updated to v1.4 too! So get your new links for the -300 and download and install it.

Update to the above. I have just installed CS777 1.4 on a Windows 8.1 machine in
P3D v2 and the lights work correctly. I am now debugging my Windows 7 installation of P3D v2 to determine why the issues with lights persist there.

1.4 is a full installer, so backup any 3rd party liveries, then uninstall v1.2/1.3 and then install v1.4 Base Pack (777-200) and then install the Freighter (1.4 download needed for the 777 Freighter).

I can also add the fact that the chronometer and brake pressure gauges do not display properly with the P3D version.

Just checked out speedbrake arming in FSX with the FSX version and the same issue exists in FSX with the 1.4 update, i.e. the speedbrakes do not arm.

Am I simply trying to do something that cannot be done arming the speedbrakes on the ground with engines running, or is this a bug?

I'll do a test of the P3D version. I do not recall seeing those problems on mine.

I'm using the 777 for P3D and I like it in P3D v2. Performance wise? The same as it is in FSX as far as I can tell.

I bought the P3Dv2 version too. The difference to the FSX-version may be small, under the hood. Using the fsx-version the sim crashed to desktop after clicking the terrain-switch. Now everything is okay.
The brakepressure gauge works for me. The amount of changing if I press the pedals is very small! From 3.2 psi to 3.0 psi is the varying amount and I have to stay at the brake for about a second to see it. With the speedbrakes I have the same behaviour too: on the ground the lever goes to full brakes but in the air I can arm it. It's okay for me.
A very nice plane, I like it very much! No comparison to the first versions delivered. But: during descent there is no deviation point beside the altimeter tape to watch if VNAV works correctly or if I have do make some inputs. Is there a hint to make it visible or is it a bug? It would be very nice to have it!

Kai

Interesting Mark so there are differences and maybe best to get p3d version

Thanks, Mark!  I didn't realize the -300 had been updated as well

Done. Thanks!

I didn't try installing -300 and Freighter using the v1.4 installers for FSX. They might work, but it will depend on whether the models and the gauges are link together somehow. If that is the case, then I'm pretty sure they won't work.

Hi,
Thank you very much for this. I think that the 1.3 already was good, but the 1.4 appears just a notch more smooth and refined overall.
Great

Best regards

The EFB in the P3D version works fine for me.

hello,

just want to know if the VNAV path pointer, described in the manual 2 page 68 at the bottom, is working with anybody here? I can't see it during descent in my plane although there exists a guilty flightplan with a guilty descent within.

Kai

Hi guys!

Very excited that 1.4 came out for Prepar3d.. I'm a bit bummed that I already purchased the FSX one only a week ago though :/

My question is, when I go to install the product, I enter order code.. then in next screen, it doesn't automatically find the simulator folder, regardless wether I'm using the migrator tool or not. The 'NEXT' button is greyed out, no matter which folder I select.

I scoured the forums and googled.. but could not find any answer. Guys I'd love some help desperately if you could. I essentially have purchased this product twice and have no way of running it.

Your help will be most greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

J

It sounds like the activation isn't working. Try a Manual Offline Activation.

And in case you miss it, here is where you use the code_xxx.txt to get your key (key_xxxx.txt): http://www.captainsim.com/activ/offline.php

Thanks to Captain Sim for version 1.4. I thought 1.2 would be the last SP, so it is great to see all the improvements. No extensive testing yet, but the FSX version is a joy to fly.

Hi!

I haven't CS 777 now on my FSX,but I want to install it. Need to install 777-200 Exterior modell 0.1 for upgrade 1.4?
I tried install only 1.4, but not installed.
Sorry for my english!

A/T is perfect in 1.4?

A/T is perfect?

Well it depends, my VR speed shows 162 kts and the speed tape maintained that on wheels up. Click AP with VNAV/LNAV command with speed restriction of 250kts below 10,000...again the speed tape followed that speed.
Climb trust above 10,000 ft with FMC show 310kts on the climb up to cruise level of Mach.83, again the speed tape also followed that.

Climb mode change to VS, from FL350 to FL370 again it followed the command i gave on the MCP and it maintained (did not go fast and did not slow down) the Mach.83 speed during step climb.

ND, the arc indicator of the TOC was on the spot. Before previous version(s) it was all over the place.
That goes the same with TOD, but i usually go down a bit early for all my arrivals.
So ..yes, the A/T and FMC AP command did what it supposed to do on this latest version.
I'm a another company user and i respect this latest version and will get all the 200ERS out of my hangar back to my FSX operations.

Every now and then I have the N2 rise to 122 and the red visual and aural warnings come on, but I've never experienced the engine start switches starting the opposite engine.

I just bought the CS777 for P3D2, I have 2.2 installed and Saitek Pro Yoke, Rudder and Switch.
Right after loading the aircraft
Aircraft's yoke is stuck to the left
Rudder don't work
Brakes don't work
Yoke not working until take off (have to rotate using trim...)
Spoilers not working
Flaps change in the panel but don't change in the aircraft.
A/P not engaging

What should I do?

Thanks Markoz,
I'll uninstall and install again and give a feedback.

So I uninstalled, installed again, I still need to load another aircraft, for example the Airbus Extended, then load the CS 777 to make it work.
My EFB doesn't work, as well as the LNAV, RNAV...
It's very frustrating to buy an aircraft full of bugs...

"LNAV and VNAV not working properly, it looks like it will follow the FLPLN but suddenly starts to make non sense turns and miss everything..."

I am seeing this also and it is installed fresh the proper way

rsvette12 wrote on Jun 28^th, 2014 at 10:17pm:

I have no idea why you are having a problem with LNAV and VNAV, they are working nicely for me.

There are times when the final few waypoints in the STAR/TRANS get removed from the CDU LEGS page, usually around the time I capture the LOCALIZER, but that doesn't affect the capture of the ILS or GS and it performs a very nice autoland, including the flare.

I too have the problem Mark wrote about where the final few waypoints are removed, but I too am able to capture ILS or GS. Sometimes it is tricky depending upon which airport, and your final approach altitude is, but it is doable. Sometimes it just takes practice .
Maybe CS will resolve this issue in the next release

Hi, Mark ! I got the 777 Captain Base Package , with no expansions. How do I do to install sp 1.4 ? Do I have to uninstall anything or I just have to run the sp 1.4 exe file?? Thanks

Cesar Romero wrote on Jul 11^th, 2014 at 1:11pm:


This question has been asked before and was answered by Mark. See Reply#18 (page 2).

"1.4 is a full installer, so backup any 3rd party liveries, then uninstall v1.2/1.3 and then install v1.4 Base Pack (777-200)..."

Ok, Mark , understood, many thanks again!   :) :)

Have installed sp 1.4 for CS 777 . Got some issues:beacon,NAV,logo buttons are not active,  fuel pumps, battery, APU GEN , window heat buttons and many others more on the overhead panel aren´t active either.
When I run FSX , MCP panel reads these messages : ELEC AC BUS R, ELEC AC BUS L , WINDOW HEAT, EQUIP COOLING OVRD , TRIM AIR R/L,
PACK R, PACK L, MAIN BATTERY DISCH , etc.
The thing is this plane used to have  a 2D cockpit  thru which I accessed FMC . How can I access FMC now? Thru virtual cokpit?

Cesar Romero wrote on Jul 14^th, 2014 at 12:47am:



Start a basic aircraft with engines running then load CS777 - then turn all of the overhead switches that are orange on - they turn white - bam thats it

I did as you told me ,nothing happened . The overhead buttons , the majority of them are inactive , they don´t show any color , neither orange. I can´t  get the plane to fly... MCP panel shows orange messages but the overhead panel has its buttons dead...

Sorry to hear that Cesar - hope Marks suggestion works for you

Ok , Mark , it´s late round here , tomorrow I will take the steps you told me . Whenever I start the 777 , the engines are accelerated and the gear lever is up ! So  an alarm sounds and  I have to press G to down the gear.
Thank you for your time .

Hi all.

I have the gear issue as well, but I just bought the plane last night, so I have no other experience with it, but When I start the engines are on and the gear level is up and the left seat control column is hard over to the left.

Also, can I remove the captain seat? It gets in the way of my cockpit views.

Well , I did what Mark told me to do , uninstall , reboot the PC , reinstall, reboot again, just following Mark´s exact instructions and it worked. see above, hope it works for you. Don´t let your anti-virus out scan MS FSX file .

I got it, once again thank you, have a good flight!

I downloaded and installed version 1.5 today.  Seems to be working, however it said my ACE for the 777 was no longer functional, so I deleted it from the taskbar.  Tried to find it under Start, All Programs, Captain Sim, 777, but it is not there, and the icon is gone.  Do I need to reinstall the 777 to get ACE back? Note - the ACE icon for the 737 is still on the taskbar. Also, my F-Secure said I had a virus, which it claims to have removed.  Do I need to turn off my antivirus software, then reinstall the 777?

Delighted/surprised to an update! I was wondering what--if anything--was happening to this a/c.

The only thing that was bugging me was the ILS alignment so any code optimization and FPS-gain is icing on the cake. I'll post a benchmark in case anyone else aside from me is interested in what sort of gains we may be able to get... most importantly in the VC.

But yeah, the 1.5 update file is corrupted; it's only 7mb. This was all news to me in the first place so I'm certainly not about to start whining...
