Not MIL, BUT Project Airbus A380 with VC Released!

...Despite a "livery installer", there is no way you'd get it working as there are model files missing in the sub-variants...

BTW the sounds are aliased in an odd way that doesn't work; the variants are aliased to the -800 ...

Aah...the model files also are aliased back to the -800 variant.
If like me, you have no interest in House Colours, and attempted to install say a Lufthansa-only model, it cannot find a model file for it!

I cannot say how much I dislike "installers", especially "cute" installers that do things you cannot fiddle with, or even find subsequently.
99% of FS9 simmers by now know exactly how to go about installing aircraft. and of them 99% will tweak the installation in some way.
Making an "installer" to help "incompetent" simmers amounts to insult...and annoys everybody who has to go looking for reasons a perfectly reasonable-looking manual override doesn't work.

And leads to curmudgeonly responses like mine in Post#2.
Uncalled for in terms of the model... it is a huge amount of work, and a marvellous addition to the FS9 freeware hangar.
Thanks to those who take the time.

Actually the house colours have the same problem; the Farnborough house livery works fine though, as do the Qantas and Emirates liveries. Haven't tried the others (yet).
 
Very nice smooth runnin' heavy! Keepin' this one.

Don't have guages in the VC but that's ok have everything needed for nav in the 2D.

edit:
I have guages in the VC now after referring the aircraft cfg to point to the panel.pa folder. Before I only had 2D guages which came from the aircraft cfg pointing to the simple, panel, folder which points to the FS9 Boeing 747 2D panel.

Very nice tubeline this one and great to have the VC with it.
 
VAS Model

Any one able to get the VC, VAS model to work? I've downloaded and install the VASFMC gauge and navadata into the flight sim.

Thanks
 
Well, with some struggle I managed to get the aircraft and the VC visible and textured, but I don't have any gauges yet. I've got the panel_pa activated in the cfg file, and there are lots of files in the panel_pa file, but no gauges visible. So, do I transfer the contents of the panel file to the gauge file?

Thanks for the help.

Look in the, aircraft cfg, file and see if it looks like this: panel=pa

----------------
I have guages in vc and didn't have to transfer any files to FS9\Guages.
 
Thank You!

I'm writing with chagrin and a red face. I missed one simple check along the way. Thanks for the quick advice! I now have a fully functional aircraft!
 
It really is a sweet gem of a plane...I'm just disappointed that their gauges override any of my other 3rd party nav programs (FSNav etc).
