747SP

[Octal450]

Update: The autopilot is now somewhat working! You can fly the plane from point A to point B now!

Pushed to GIT!

Martien: The undercarridge wheels that rotate turn the wrong way, and the FDM has some funny support in this!

Btw: Could you still make a screenshot from the wing connection, so I could solve the problem?

Oh I thought that was in the model (sometimes I'm an idiot)

I will grab the screenshot as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Attention: Do to the FDM being switched over to YASIM, there is a chance that the aircraft will be rebuilt. The cockpit, model, and their related files will be transferred, as to not lose any work done. As far as I am aware the only changes are:

3D Model and its XML files
-set files
Cockpit and its related files
autopilot
Liveries and UVmap

Please advise if anything changed, as I may redo most of the aircraft.

At the current time, there are 5 models available:

747SP JT9D - Analog style cockpit with JT9D engines, but with EHSI and LNAV capable autopilot.
747SP RB211 - Analog style cockpit with RB211 engines, but with EHSI and LNAV capable autopilot.
747SP JT9D EFIS - Upgrade avionics version, with JT9D Engines. Cockpit loosely based off of Honeywell VIA 2000 Avionics.
747SP RB211 EFIS - Upgrade avionics version, with RB211 Engines. Cockpit loosely based off of Honeywell VIA 2000 Avionics.
747SP SOFIA - Nasa SOFIA aircraft, EFIS cockpit loosely based off of Honeywell VIA 2000 Avionics.

[Octal450]

From it0uchpods Hanger: 747SP Revision 0.04 SNAPSHOT A:

Fully working new features:
Further EFIS cockpit development
Glareshield MCP:

ALT HOLD button (Switches ALT FLCH ON or OFF)
VS HOLD button (Switches VS ON or OFF)
HDG HOLD button (Switches heading select/hold ON or OFF)
SPD button (Switches Speed With Throttle on)
AT OFF button (Switches Autothrottle Off)
HDG knob (Adjust selected heading)
VS wheel (Adjust Vertical Speed)
ALT knob (Adjust FLCH altitude)
SPD knob (Adjust autothrottle speed)

Known issues:
Autopilot VS Display INOP
Autopilot VS Active LED INOP
Autopilot ILS flying INOP

Development by me is halted as of now, sorry.

Maybe I could continue the work on the 747SP over about two weeks, again bussy times for me.

Yes go ahead. Until I get my personal life sorted I will not be able to develop to much. You should have push access to my repo, if not, I can always push for you.

THIS PLANE WILL BE REWORKED 100%!

Based off 747-8i, I modify the FDM, and change the model, cockpit and so on to our model. The 747-200 is just to underdeveloped for me. They do alot of things I hate!
