Posky 747-400 models for MSFS, PSX and WidePSX

I got many hints and suggestions, thank you all!

I could narrow the issue down to the different model, rendering a texture from the RR one perfectly worked. Now I'm trying to find what's wrong/different.
By typing this I realise I didn't give the PW model a shot - will do and report back again.

Cheers

I should clarify.  This was happening without PSX being on at all.  I deleted everything from the LM Roaming directory and that seemed to help, except now every time it syncs up with PSX, the visual model disappears.  Weird stuff. 

I did a test with the PMDG 747 (no PSX running obviously), and P3D is fine.  It just doesn't like the Posky model at the moment.

This is P3D v5.3.

EDIT: So the plane is below the ground by some ways.  I need to go back and figure out what I'm going wrong.

Problem sorted.  Just having a bit of trouble with the external sim module.

Reporting back:
Seems I finally found the issue. It's *not* in the texture files created/exported, it's an additional texture missing for the GE/PW models.
Since they both are just black rectangles I copied the RR versions appropriately. The files in question:

PSX.NET.MSFS.LIVERIES\Effects\texture\FAIB_B7474_RR_AlwaysOn_L.dds
PSX.NET.MSFS.LIVERIES\texture\FAIB_B7474_RR_AlwaysOn_L.dds

Renaming/copying them to
FAIB_B7474_GE_AlwaysOn_L.dds

already did the trick for the GE model.

Since now the paintkit provided by FAIB seems to work I'll have a tutorial ready next days.

Cheers

Yoshi

Yup would be nice if someone can reup the 747 model

All the links are broken  :'(

Please make the 744's available again, please, pretty please.  I was so excited reading the topic until I tried the links and realized they are all dead  :'(

Hi,
I'm sorry but I had fatal computer problems and in the panic to fix things I deleted all my conversations so no longer have them. And one of the updates on MSFS caused my conversations to stutter.
Gary's bridge to MSFS is way better than what I had.
Sorry.

So I have a question for all...

I have a great deal of money invested in my home cockpit setup.  I have built a very high power computer, a 4 touch screen setup for Aerowinx PSX, and one very nice 4K 43" screen for the visuals of MSFS2020.  I did all that in setup for the cooperative software to be linked together using WidePSX for a completely immersed sim experience.  I also am a current 747 pilot. 

I am at the phase where I am trying to get this all to work together and I am struggling. I am almost there and it seems I have been able to connect all three software together however, PSX does not seem to be able to control the MSFS 747 (-8).  I have been watching videos from Chris Stanley where he mentions the Posky 747, but I have come to the realization, those aircraft are no longer available. 

Here is my question:
Does WidePSX no longer have the ability to control the MSFS 747 and since the Posky 747's are no longer available, did I build this very expensive home sim and I will never be able to get the visuals from MSFS2020 and Aerowinx to work together?  Or have I done something incorrectly and I will be able to get something out of all of this?

Nick.
P.S.  Message to Chris Stanely: If you want to assist me in completing my home sim, I would pay dearly for that help.  Thanks

Nick,

It might be easier to switch to PSX.NET.MSFS.WASM.  Gary does a great job of keeping it updated and should have a new version for MSFS2024 once it is released.

I have the posky 747 model which works with WidePSX, if I'm allowed to post it?

I am not sure you can post the POSKY aircraft as the original owner has refused the rights to other sim users.

Currently there is an active facebook page for the 747 classic (ie -100) range which has been updated for MSFS and is always being updated (I think 200 and 300 may be on their road plan).

Cheers,
AlexB

PS I have been after an updated POSKY 747-400 package but the only one you can find is for FSX and early P3D versions.

Bluestar,

I am not sure what PSX.NET.MSFS.WASM is?  I am a Cargo Pilot and not actually very well versed in computers, although I stepped way out of my comfort zone when I created my sim.  I do have a question though...  I seem to be able to use WidePSX with MSFS...  as in I get all three "green connected" indications...  and I see the aircraft react in MSFS2020...  and I can see interactions between PSX and MSFS.  However, as far as the MSFS 747-8 cockpit, nothing seems linked to PSX.

Does the MSFS2020 747 work at all?  Is that what the PSX.NET.MSFS.WASM will do... make it work? 

Do you have a working setup with PSX, MSFS2020 and WidePSX?  If so, can we communicate through email?

Who is Gary?  I dont know him. 

Nick.

Are you expecting that when you press the FLCH switch in PSX, the FLCH switch in MSFS will actuate as well? That won't happen. The aircraft systems are not linked. MSFS is only used for the view out of the windshield.

Nick,

This is where you can find out about "PSX.NET.MSFS.WASM Version 10 - The Next Generation MSFS Scenery Link For PSX".

https://aerowinx.com/board/index.php/topic,7196.0.html

Gary is Gary Oliver the author of WASM.  It is a very good link between PSX and MSFS2020.  We only use MSFS as a scenery generator for our sims. 

It's been a while since I used WidePSX and it was with P3d.  Once I decided to go to MSFS scenery WASM was the best choice for me. 

Just start asking questions and go through the "PSX.NET.MSFS.WASM Version 10 - The Next Generation MSFS Scenery Link For PSX" in the "Accessories" form.  I check unread posts a couple of times daily and will help you get it going.  There are folks around here who know a lot more than I do and they will help also.  I had no clue on how to get my system up and going a couple of years back and the folks in this forum helped me get it sorted out. 

Your not the only Cargo pilot that hangs around here. ROFL

Thank you Bode for your help and I am excited to try out this new way to connect PSX to MSFS.  Just st down at my sim now....   going to start the process.  Wish me luck bud.

Thank you:
Nick.
