Hallo
FG Pilots,
due to current state of transition from FG 3.0 RC and final FG 3.0 - where, for instance, the 777 included in the very first FG 3.0 RC was a sort of mixup of the old model and our new one, giving wrong Cockpit texturing (thanks to
Mike-G for making us aware of the issue) - we have thought convenient to build two
temporary 'Builds' of current Pre-Release of the
Boeing 777 Seattle.
One, named
OLDND, has the latest fix and updates by our Team (
up to today, Jan 28th!), but
NOT using the new Canvas System NDs (Navigation Displays).
The other, named
NEWND, has the latest fix and updates by our Team (
up to today, Jan 28th!), and uses the new Canvas System NDs (Navigation Displays).
Please be advised: as the Canvas System Developing Team is still working on some already reported issues, the NDs do work, but still with some possible performance issues and with some info on screen still missing. They do look great, though; and we decided to keep them as they currently are, just because of testing and fixing.
So, this is how to get the new
Boeing 777 Seattle:
1) -
Git Build - For those who are familiar with Git: just make a 'Git Pull'.
Please note:
this Build will be UPDATED by our Team, so it will contain - in dependence with current work-flow - future fixings and mods.
Download - from Git (usually with Git Bash).
2) -
OLDND Build - For those who want to test the current state of the aircraft,
with old NDs (
no Canvas Sytem!).
Please note:
this Build will NOT be updated by us; it just contains fixes up to Jan 28th.
Download - from MediaFire (85 Mb), here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8k6y6d2ye1cemv8/777_oldND_012714.tar.gz3) -
NEWND Build - For those who want to test the current state of the aircraft,
with NEW NDs (
with Canvas Sytem!).
Please note:
this Build will NOT be updated by us; it just contains fixes up to Jan 28th.
Download - from MediaFire (94 Mb), here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/4tkiv2sfjq4hmf5/777_newND_012714.tar.gzWARNING: this
NEWND Build has been modified on Jan 30th: please download it (with enhancements made by
Philosopher) from the new MediaFireLink (see my Post
http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21870&p=199267#p199267).
Additional Note: prior to actual installing any Build, it is more than advisable to REMOVE completely the 777 folder in 'Aircraft' directory; and then copy and paste the downloaded 777 Folder into 'Aircraft' directory. It would be a bad idea to 'mix-up' a pre-existant installation of any 'make' of the 777, as well as to keep two or three Builds of the 777...results would be unpredictable, and
we strongly advise to have just one build of the 777 in the Aircraft directory.
Also, as said at the beginning, bear in mind that ALL current available Builds contain the
Pre-Release version of the 777
Seattle: we offer it for testing purposes, hoping to get info from users so to better tune-up and/or fix things for the making of the 777
Seattle's
First Release. As we all are human, please be patient and report any relevant issue and/or problem you might experience.
One last advice: if choosing to download from Mediafire (Builds 2 or 3), it would be safer to use a Download Manager, to avoid possible bad downloads.
So, ...happy flying and testing with the
Boeing 777 Seattle !
for the
777 Seattle Team, I-NEMO
