• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA Default CRJ-700 VC rework

meanwhile working onthe wipers:

Thanks to @SixGhost for sharing his low poly smoothing technique, this helped me a lot here.

Not sure how to understand this question :confused:
Let's give it a try:
The release will be a VC and a panel. It can be implemented in any aircraft, no matter if it makes sense or not :p
the position remains the default one for now, so it works best with the default crj viewpoints.
I got requests to make versions with adjusted positions to match POSKY planes but I don't know yet if I will do that.
Hope I made it to the point of your question.

Well Using the VC in the posky CRJ is just a matter of changing the eyepoint then. I'll just do that myself.. so great! :D
 
I recently worked on these rotaries and coded custom animations for some of them. The map display related ones work independantly on each side and can be driven by flipping the mouse wheel.

(I do not claim this to perfectly match the original)

Very Nice work! any time frame on a release? If you need any testing done I will volunteer!:)

I didn't actually set a time frame. Although most things seem like done to me I don't want to get in a hurry in the end. It still should be out within the next two months though :p

I think it will be a public testing phase in the beginning.
 
Great you are reworking this bird, always thought that these fsx default aircrafts deserved a Little more detailed cockpits, specially this CRJ 700, very cool airplane.

Yeah I often find improved exteriors but for a really odd reason they are all equipped with the default cockpits instead of reworking them as well.
That's why I started this.
...for the CRJ for now ;)
 
looking great Dave..I really hope the v.c. and new gauges and animations arent tied to the default crj-700. though ..because the truth is i deleted almost the entire default aircraft collection ffor better fframerates..including the CRj-700..but my plan was to put the VC you release into the posky crj? ^_^''
 
The amount of installed airplanes does not influence in-game framerates in any way.

It should not be tied to the default except for the textures. But assuming that the POSKY one uses the default CRJ Cockpit this problem does not exist :)
The auto land is adjusted to work with the default flight dynamics. Please give me feedback on how it works with other ones.
 
You can now download this now by clicking on the cockpit in my signature.
Please use this thread to report any issues occurring. so I can correct them. But Please don't name every inaccuracy. I know it may not match everywhere.

Enjoy:)
 
Thanks for your work on this! Looking forward to trying this out.

One thing worth noting, I would recommend not using Dropbox as a distribution method. If you hit a certain number of downloads, they will temporarily lock your account for excessive traffic from what I've seen happen to others.

Also, the image for the CRJ in your signature doesn't appear to be showing currently.
 
Notes from testing (with the FSX native POSKY CRJ700 model):

  • Add a check for mixture state to avoid non-starting engines
  • Check for the state of the avionics switch and toggle it with the main electrical bus state
  • The FO wiper animation is messed up (also try to add a right click to each switch to toggle both wipers at once)
  • Tooltips for your modified MFD selector switches
  • Switch and button sounds would be nice
  • Switches that could also be made operational: Nose wheel steering (I can provide you with code for that), anti-skid (default EventID), thrust reversers (auto-deploy on touchdown?), spoiler arming switch (to complement of Shift+#)
  • Organization of the sound-related add-ons should be improved. Keep things as close to your mods as possible.

  • Model.cfg for the POSKY model:
Code: 
normal=OSXCRJ700
interior=crj_interior


  • Eyepoint for the POSKY model
Code: 
[Views]
eyepoint=-1.5, -1.65, 4.35

  • I also replaced the autopilot section with the one from the default CRJ.
  • Autoflare woked perfectly.
  • The FSX native model of the CRJ can be obtained from hop_posky_crj702.zip (on Flightsim)
  • Custom engine sound sets can be found all over the place

Other than that, very good work all around and a lot of potential for further realism improvements.

Thanks for the feedback.

  • The first few points are actually missing features rather than bugs but as the interest is there this may come some time in the future.
  • I will think about the text I can add to the tooltips. I simply had no idea what to write there :oops:
  • The sound related stuff is done with respect to the third parties. Also the entries in the ini file need the full path of the sounds (from FSX root folder). That's why putting them into the aircraft's subfolder makes no sense.
Also thanks for sharing the POSKY adjusted data.
