I have copied the 757 Captain over to Flight Simulator X - Steam Edition and it works. The Nav, Beacon and Strobe lights are not working, but aside from that, it works just like it does in FSX. This means that it still suffers from the missing T/D and/or end of the route. If you have not installed the latest version of FSUIPC (
http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66139-updated-modules/), go and get and install it. It will create a DLL.XML file for FSX-SE if one does not already exist!
How I did it:
1. Create a
Captain_Sim folder in
Steam\steamapps\common\FSX (you will be copying things into it in step 2).
2. Copy the
757 AND
navigation folders AND the
Captain_Sim.b757.menu.dll file from the
FSX\Captain_Sim folder to the
Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Captain_Sim folder (created in step 1).
3. Copy the
FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B757-200 folder, and paste them in the
Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes folder.
You can also copy the CS_B757-300 and CS_B757-200F folders if you have the Expansion Models.4. Copy the
cs757_edge.fx,
cs757_land.fx,
cs757_navgre.fx,
cs757_navred.fx,
cs757_navwhi.fx and
cs757_sf.fx files from the
FSX\Effects folder to the
Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\effects folder.
5. Copy the
cs757_1.bmp file from the
FSX\Effects\texture folder to the
Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\effects\texture folder.
6. You MUST copy the info for the CS 757 from the DLL.XML file for FSX to the DLL.XML file for FSX-SE. Open the
C:\Users\<YOUR USER NAME>\AppData\Microsoft\FSX folder, then open the DLL.XML file (it may be in lower case, not upper case). Copy these lines:
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Captain Sim 757 Sound</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>Captain_Sim\757\cs.sound.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>You must make sure that they are between the last </Launch.Addon> and the </SimBase.Document> lines or you will mess it up, so BACK IT UP BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES TO IT!********************************************************************************
I
think I have found out why the cockpit sounds are not working in most of the Captain Sim addon aircraft in FSX-SE, but my attempts to fix it don't work. The error seems to be in the way FSX-SE enters the trusted
cs.sound.dll file.
For example, in the FSX.CFG it is listed as:
J:\Flight Simulator X\Captain_Sim\757\cs.sound.dll.nqienoeouinoabhqqwhanqekwlwatteninbzwazc=1
- FSX is installed in J:\Flight Simultor XWhile in the FSX-SE.CFG it is entered as:
Captain_Sim\757\cs.sound.dll.nqienoeouinoabhqqwhanqekwlwatteninbzwazc=1
I have added the
I:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX\ in front of the line, but every time I do it and start FSX-SE, it asks me to trust the gauge again and enters it again the without preceding
I:\Steamapps\common\FSX\.

Other than those issues I mentioned, the 757-200/300/200F work fine in FSX-SE!
