Ok, I got this baby going. I found my ultimate 747!!!. All is good. This plane is the ultimate. It was easier than I thought. I simply added the panels, numerically sequenced them and all is good.
What I have now is: A beautiful 747 (RFP) . It has a very descent VC. I can stand in the middle of the cockpit and reach to the overhead, the Engineers panel and go through the entire start sequence in this mode. (The entire start!! From cold and dark to all engines running!)
about 90% of the entire systems are modelled. - The pressurisation, aircon, hyd, VERY real and accurate fuel panel including pressure fueling/defueling and jettisoning!! , The entire cockpit is re-created to about 80 percent MINIMUM!!!
I can then open the cockpit door and walk into the upperdeck and go down the spiral staircase and through out the forward and after section a&b cabins. (The entire cockpit, upperdeck, spiral staircase, forward first class and cabin a& b are VC!! AND GOOD too!
When I get to the aft cabin door I can go through it and I am in a 2d foto cabin. I can then go throughout the cabin including: The galley, the lavatory (The lights come on and the toilet flushes), to a passenger seat, sit, look out the window, pull down the tray and be searved a meal by the attendant. She speaks too! As well as 4 others that speak. I can even go to the rear galley and catch an attendant changing!!!!
When in the cockpit, I can view a camera of the cabin where pax are viewing a screen showing flight data and a movie (At cruise) It is a very simple xml file.
This is what I have been working on for the past week or so. I have frusterated the staff at the RFP forum site, confused the members,, I am sorry for this. But now I have what I have been working on.
This sim is the ultimate. The RFP boys with there 747-200 ADD on is great!!! Top Notch! S-combo, all the pax/combi/fuel/tko calculators. It is utterly stunning.
Oh yeah!! It has TCAS, WXradar, 3 INS's, complete GPWS and cabin/Flight crew interaction!!!
Thank you all.
If anyone is interisted, I can assist. The entire project took a little over 3 hours. And that is with me having to reseach some items.
