AS I was adding a positioning the throttle quadrent, I realized all the engine instruments were not on the panel, but floating infront of it!!! That was a very funny thing!

affirm. That's a bug waiting to be fixed.
Feel free to accomodate the instruments so they sit right :)

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

Well, the 727 now has a throttle quadrent that is almost finished. I am working my ass of trying to get these instruments in the right place! So I jsut scrapped then whole instruments and am now re adding each one to flightdeck.xml It is taking a very very long time. I haven't even started the engine panel yet, but the captains panel now sits well on the panel. I will add the first officers instruments after I get the engine instruments sorted. DO you know what this airplane referes to itself as? I see in the throttle quadrent something "b707.autothrottle.something" what is this aircraft called? Is it just b727?

Well I took a break for a bit and came back, with good news! The throttle quadrent now sits in the plane perfect, and the instruments are now on the panel. It doesn't look have bad! I will post a screenshot soon. I did notice that the plane does not seem to pitch on the wings, it pitches on the tail. Not sure how to go about fixing that, but maybe someone wants to meet on mumble and discuss?

I just remodelled and reuvmapped the fire warning lights. I still need to implement them, but I did a little set-prop hack so that the ess-bus property in /b707/ was filled.

Ah, it0uchpods, what variants did you add YOUR models to?
Did you add all your changes to ALL he variants -- F, ADV, JSB, YASIM?

Sure legoboy, meet me on mumble.Ahh good.

I made changes to only the flightdeck files, so only the ADV. If you put the others to use the same flightdeck files, then it does worked.
