Boeing 757-200

Same for me, a small bug in the code maybe

[skyop]

it seems as if there was a little error in the new autopilot.

It looks like I have a duplicate glideslope controller in there. I'll have this fixed next release- by the way, is this error affecting the autopilot itself, or can it just be ignnored?

The position of the aircraft directly after finishing loading could be fixed; standig somewhere in the grass does not look realistic

Actually, I already tried to fix this by setting the /sim/airport/runways/start-offset-m property. There's really not much else I can do about that, besides shifting the entire model and reprogramming the FDM.

The cockpit windows seem a bit dark to me, i feel like flying in the evening. are the real windows that dark?

Probably not. I'll get rid of the windows in the cockpit.

And another question:

You''ll have to wait for Gijs's answer on that one, he's the manager of the livery database.

Unfortunately, the same bug that is affecting the CRJ900 is also affecting the 757-200 and the 717. I'm very sorry that all my planes are now unflyable on FlightGear 2.0.0; this is a result of me rushing to catch up with the latest goodies available in Git, and not realizing the consequences. Although in my opinion, I'd rather have the advanced XML-driven autobrake and autopilot systems that my planes now have instead of the hacky nasal solutions I was using earlier.

The wiki will be updated to reflect this.

So I suppose you don't worry about 1.9.1 at all?

So I suppose you don't worry about 1.9.1 at all?

Generally, any aircraft that runs reasonably well on 2.0.0 runs on 1.9.1, so no, 1.9.1 compatibility is not a concern for me unless someone informs me of a specific problem.

[Rick Ace]

You should make it a concern....

If anyone cares about framerates, the version difference is major.

[skyop]

It's not like I have a choice now.

I'll help maintain 1.9.1 capability for every aircraft until FlightGear supports dual-core instead of the not full supported dual-core we have now. Maybe even for longer than that milestone.

Cheers

Well Skyop since your aircraft can no longer work on 2.0 or 1.9.1 (it is the first aircraft I have been unable to get to work on 1.9.1!!! Congrats!) That's stops like 3 liveries from being released. Sorry

Cheers

[skyop]

No problem, it's my fault.

If you wanna get this aircraft working on 1.9.1 BTW, open 757-200-set.xml and comment out the autopilot file references. Then scroll down to the /autopilot/autobrakes section and comment out the <step type="int">-1</step> line.

[simbabeat]

What effects will that have?

Cheers

[skyop]

It'll get the plane flying but will leave you with a busted (nonfunctional) autopilot and autobrake.

Development is back on track (with limited progress, since I have exams right now). I've changed around the flap settings to match the real-world settings, and altered the flap indicator gauge:



It's not much but it shows that 757 development is still ongoing.

[skyop]

I finally finished the markings of the overhead panel.

EDIT: Image coming soon.

EDIT 2:

[simbabeat]

That looked a little plain. So I fixed it up a little

I give you two options:
