A new approach to Salty Compatibility Mod for Boeing 777-200ER, Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 777F, Boeing 767 from Captain Sim
Support for better flight model and AP rewrite needed. https://discord.gg/FUtPEuQ9sh
Firstly I would like to thank to highmemfix1, axeldude, maxx2504 and jdbp for thier great initial work.
Special thanks to SquisheeTH for modelling EICAS elements and thanks to our new contributor Birby for new engine animation.
Project page: https://github.com/RobSimulation/robsim-salty-777
Requirements:
Captain Sim B777 or B767 on latest update (You can update via ace or check for latest version on CS page)
Since version 2.2.0 an installation of Salty-747 is optional
Recommended for more realistic flights:
- FTSiM+ B777 Sound Pack
- FSRealistic
- New Light Mod by nicottine (better overall lighting and taxi light fix)
Installation:
Download and install this mod to Community folder (If you have old version installed, remove it first for best experience)
Tutorial (special thanks to foxtrot ostrich): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aErM_7d2jPM
Summary of all Features:
- Fuel System based on Boeing spec sheets
- Flight Model based on Boeing spec sheets and scientific papers
- Orange Cockpit lights for B767-400ER (Special thanks to Squishee TH)
- FMC based on B777/B767 data including take off and climb perfomance
- FMC take off trim calculation
- Payload Manager and better vSpeed calculation
- Custom EICAS pages for B777 and B767
- Custom PFD and MFD with correct flaps and vSpeed indicator
- Custom ND Knob with B777 range selection (no range lower than 10 nm)
- ECON Cruise speed and altitude calculation based on aircraft weight
- Model template for B777-200LR (instructions below)
How to use built-in custom FMC pages:
- Payload Manager (based on B787 by Heavy Division)
- To use it go to FMC MENU -> SALTY -> PAYLOAD
- Please use Payload Manager to set fuel and weight to your aircraft.
- In-Game Flight Plan synchronisation
- enable this on FMC MENU -> SALTY -> MISC -> FP SYNC
- Simbrief integration
- FMC MENU -> SALTY -> SIMBRIEF
- Pause at T/D (in some case it is activated by default)
- FMC MENU -> SALTY -> MISC -> PAUSE AT T/D
Changelogs:
v2.2.0: Release of first standalone version
v2.3.1
- flight model rewrite for B777s based on Boeing Weight and Balance Sheet
- flight model and model matching
- Take off trim offset by 6 (current trim issue workaround)
- adjustment to pilot camera position
Known issues:
- For an ILS Approach use APP mode directly instead of LOC then APP (known bug in AP system)
- LNAV overshoot sometimes. (Under investigation)
- VNAV might need Speed Brake on descend
- FD suggests to low pitch on ILS approach
If you find anything else, please let me know
Configuration Instructions for Boeing 777-200LR:
CS Boeing 777-200ER is required. This Project is currently on hold until we have better MSFS glTF Import/Export plug-in for Blender available. MSFS Store version of CS 777-200ER won't work
- navigate to captainsim-aircraft-m772/SimObject/Airplanes folder
- make a copy of CS_B777-200ER_GE90B folder
- rename it to CS_B777-200LR_GE110B1
- edit aircraft.cfg in CS_B777-200LR_GE110B1
- change icao_type_designator="B772" to icao_type_designator="B77L"
- change icao_model="777-200" to icao_model="777-200LR"
- change ui_type=777-200ER GE90B to ui_type=777-200LR GE110B1 for all textures
- rename Repaints Title (if you have some installed with CS ace)
- In each Texture.[name] folder rename the path in texture.cfg to CS_B777-200LR_GE110B1
