New Boeing B-797 Giant Flying Wing is Released!

Yes. That was uploaded to AVSIM.

1.1 has the fix to the panels and some panel config bits.

First of all, THANK YOU very much for providing the community with such an excellent aircraft.:salute:
Man, this thing is HUGE :icon_eek: . I just d/l'd about an hour ago and one thing I noticed was I still have the reflective surface in the VC. The txt file that was included with it does say version 1.1 and I understood that was fixed for this version. Not a big deal at all to me, just thought you would like the feedback. Again, your work is very much appreciated :wavey:

Steve

PS I'm running FSX accel.
 
I havent found a way to change the file here yet. I asked. I think our Library man was in the hospital. I'll check again. The file here should still be 1.0.

Has AVSIM made this available yet? Almost 24 hrs after the post above, I still can't see it...

I should have included that I downloaded from AVSIM not here, sorry.

I am 99.9% positive that AVSIM has 1.1. No one else does. I have no idea how to upload updates to Simviation or SurClaro. I am still working on here.



Bill
 
Steve, Are you sure you got V1.1? I just visited ASVSIM again and found only V1.0 and just to make sure, I did a search on "William Ortis"

No, but it was the only one I found there. Funny thing is when I looked at the txt. file included it said it was installing 1.1 so I went ahead and ran the exe. I'll take another look.

Steve

OK, just went to avsim files and did a ZipDive on the files and in the installation txt file about 3 rows down it says :This is build 1.1.
The upload is dated Aug 18th so thats obviously before the actual 1.1 was uploaded. The exe file size is 68245958 if that helps.
 
AVSIM - Has only 1.0 install

Bill

The AVSIM download has a text file saying its 1.1 but the install executable is dated 08\13 and calls itself install 1.0. Looks like the old exe was included in the zip.
 
If you boot up the plane in FSX, and turn on the lights and go to VC view, and the panel is not chrome colored, but regular dark brushed gray, then you have 1.1. Also, if you go to 2D panel view, and go to mini panel mode (2 screens, MFD and PFD) and they have a wide space between them, then you have Build 1.1.

I cannot see how I could not have 1.1 'not' in there. Its possible, but I remember 'delicately and carefully' doing the updates.


I'll go check on uploading the new installer here as well.

AHH....it's the lights!! Actually though I have to have all the lights OFF to gid rid of the chrome color:isadizzy:
Couldn't figure out how to get to "mini panel" so really can't comment there. Anyway, I'm sure it will get straightened out. In the mean time I'm having a great time trying to keep the passengers from getting upset tummies:jump:. Thanks Bill.

NOTAMS; B-797 Drivers.

The Build 1.1 is now up, here at SOH. Updates to FSX are in it.

I have also redone the Installer's code 'Registry' sniffer system to better find Flight Simulator in computers. It was missing perhaps 2 in 10 in 64Bit systems. If you could, delete the present version you have installed and install this, and see if it locates FS properly. I would be greatful for your help on this. I have been wrestling with these installers for a while now trying to get them to run perfect.

Sorry to report that the installer only came up with the "default installation path" for both FS9 and FSX on both a Vista x32 and Win7 x64 machine...

...neither of which is the correct Registry entry for either FS9 or FSX...

There must be some flag in the installer that will force it to use the Registry, and not the path you've entered as the "default..."
 
Thank you Bill.

I'll keep wrestling with this beast.

Why why why why... why.... did MS decide to rename their Programs folders??????


<---- facepalm moment...
 
Hi Bill,

I got version 1.1 and I have no more mirrored panel, great, thanks!
But as you said, I had to retrieve it from my "program files" without the (x86)...

Great model of a great plane though!!!

Thanks for sharing it with us,
Norm
 
Most welcome Norm.


Man, I wish I had this Installer issue fixed. I had to walk 3 customers through installations today on Win64/86 systems...

Why.. Why did MS rename their Program folder???? arrgh...
 
Hey, did FOOFIGHTER ever release his cool military repaints for this bird,and if so where can I download them,because I can't find them in the SOH archives Thanks
