johankotze Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I download the base package and place the folder TDS B737-700 folder into your Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Aircraft folder and Place TDSB3_wing_light.fx and tdsnose_gearwell.fx from the included effects folder, into your Flight Simulator X/Effects folder But when I go to FSX and look under TDS inmy aircraft library there no aircraft.

That'll be just the start of your headaches with TDS. However, first ensure all variations of aircraft is checked.

gonpostal Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 This aircraft is for FS9. Are you wanting it for FS9 or FSX? FSX has a SimObjects\Airplanes folder where FS9 has a SimObjects\Aircraft folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingnorris Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Variations are checked. Kingnorris why will TDS give me headaches My personal experience. No exterior lights, FS9 2D panel only, bad flight dynamics, etc. I had two TDS 737's and they're now residing comfortably in my recycle bin...

PAULCRAIG Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 The problem lies with the panel, as it is an FS9 native model it is using the FS9 737-400 panel. To get it working in FSX you will need to use the FSX default B738 panel, you will have to do a bit of copy & pasting to get it working correctly, here's what you need to do: 1>Rename the panel foider in the TDS B738 aircraft folder to panel fs9 2>Copy the panel folder from the FSX default B738 into the TDS 738 aircraft folder 3>Copy the Tds737ADVCONTROL & Tds_util folders from the "old" panel fs9 folder into the panel folder (copied from the default B738) 4>Copy & paste the following into the panel.cfg (the one from the default B738) At the top of the panel.cfg there is a section titled [Window Titles] copy & paste the following below the last entry: Window10=Posky_Debug Window11=Utility Scroll down until you find the last [Windowxx] entry which should be [Window09] just above [VCockpit01], you can delete the [VCockpit01] data entries as you wont be needing this & copy the folowing below the [Window09] data: [Window10] VISIBLE=0 position=2 size_mm=450,200 child_3d=0 background_color=0,0,0 ident=TDSDEBUG gauge00=Tds737ADVCONTROL!Tdsdebug, 0, 0 gauge01=Tds737ADVCONTROL!Tdsdebug2, 0, 50 gauge02=Tds737ADVCONTROL!Tdsdebug3, 0, 100 [Window11] VISIBLE=0 position=2 size_mm=298,104 child_3d=0 background_color=0,0,0 ident=Utility gauge00=Tds_util!Tds_Init, 0, 0 gauge01=Tds_util!Tds_Timer, 0, 0 gauge02=Tds_util!Tds_Util, 0, 0 [VCockpit01] size_mm=512,512 pixel_size=512,512 texture=$Posky_ACU background_color=0,0,0 gauge00=Tds737ADVCONTROL!Tds_AdvInit, 140,80,140,80 gauge01=Tds737ADVCONTROL!TdsAUX, 140,80,140,80 gauge02=Tds737ADVCONTROL!TdsRudder_Elev, 140,80,140,80 gauge03=Tds737ADVCONTROL!TdsEngRev, 140,80,140,80 gauge04=Tds737ADVCONTROL!TdsWingflex, 140,80,140,80 gauge05=Tds737ADVCONTROL!TdsNosegearsteerling, 140,80,140,80 gauge06=Tds737ADVCONTROL!Tds_Spoiler, 140,80,140,80 gauge07=Tds737ADVCONTROL!Tdsflasher, 140,80,140,80 gauge08=Tds737ADVCONTROL!TdsSEA, 140,80,140,80 gauge09=Tds737ADVCONTROL!Tdsgearheight, 140,80,140,80 [VCockpit02] size_mm=512,512 pixel_size=512,512 texture=$EXTANIMBASE background_color=0,0,0 gauge00=EXT_TEXTURE_ANIM!EXTTEST, 0, 0, 512, 512 You may have to do this outside of FSX as your OS UAC my prevent you from saving the changes made.

johankotze Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Thank you guys then I will rather look for payware 737-800 where all panels are functional as in real 737-800 and leave TDS alone. Any suggestions I mean fully functional 2d panel as I use multiple monitors. I also tried PaulCraig advise to see if it will work but I can't see the TDS plane in my hanger. I filter to TDS but no plane there either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrUnSavory Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Don't just look under TDS for the aircraft. Sometimes packages you get are put together by other people and they will change the line: "UI Created By=" If they change it to Boeing then you have to look under Boeing aircraft.

PAULCRAIG Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 It maybe a missing thumbnail jpeg missing from the texture folder. The TDS aircraft package in question is tds_b737-800_base_package.zip & it should be listed under TDS in FSX as the aircraft.cfg [fltsim.x] data has ui_manufacturer=TDS.

tgon Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 TDS is confusing and buggy. Try the realistically modelled 738 as suggested by kingnorris. They will not disappoint. Best, Phil https://www.facebook.com/groups/UKdirect/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johankotze Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Thanks guys. I am looking at Posky 737-800 just have difficulty with PSPanels (new threat) which was included in the download. Our currency is currently suffering against the US dollar so will have to wait.

tgon Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Sadly, Project Opensky (POSKY) died a few years ago. The Rikoooo (Google it) web site has a great collection of their best works, including the B738, most with a self installer.

il88pp Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Johan, if you want people to be able to help with something, you have to add the name of the .zip file that you down;loaded to get that thing. For example you talk about the PSPanels" - I have no idea what that is. Just give a link to where you found it. And the filename you downloaded there.

And the filename you downloaded there. I think those panels are payware. Might be tricky trying to give advise, especially since he says he can't see a .cab file for that download!

il88pp Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Thanks and cheers Zippy, I thought they were freeware addon panels. Still, Johan, main point stands. Give filenames in future please. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johankotze Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Sorry for not be more clearer. English is not my first language so here it goes. I install Posky Boeing 737-800 Jet2.com from Rikoooo's web site at link http://www.rikoooo.com/downloads/viewdownload/55/745. After installer finished with the installation I went to airplanes in FSX/Simobjects and open Posky Boeing 737-800 Jet2.com just to see if all files are there. Under Posky Boeing 737-800 Jet2.com I saw a text file named Install.txt and Posky 737-800.txt - Please see attachments and quotes Project Opensky Boeing 737-800 Jet2.com for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 ACOF Author: Mathieu Vos e-mail repainter: Mathieu.Vos@upcmail.nl Site : http://members.chello.nl/j.mast50/ ------------- Background ------------- This is the Boeing 737-800 of Jet2.com. ------------------------- Other Enhancements: ------------------------- I suggest that if you want an "as real as it gets" experience in your 737NG, download and install the following: ------ Panel: ------ Undoubtedly the most outstanding, detailed and realistic Boeing 737NG freeware panel available is by Paul Scarratt.

To get it, use the following link at AVSIM.COM: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004pan&DLID=106129 or look for the filename 'setup.exe' on AVSIM. ------- Sounds: ------- There are a few out there, but I've enjoyed Des Braban's 737NG sounds for some time. To get this sound package, download the following files at AVSIM.COM: - 737pkg.zip http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=130945 -------- Credits: -------- - First and foremost, Project Opensky and its talented people for the B737-800W model and paint kit, - Martin Wright for the indispensable DXTBMP utility program, - All the countless other people like you who make this hobby one of the most enjoyable I know!

dogdish Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I'm not sure I would trust downloading from one of those wonky sites in the first place.

dogdish Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 If I were you, I would forget the POSKY aircraft for FSX, they were made for FS9. Get the TDS 737-800 base pack, IMPORTANT> Get the FSX Model updates from TDS on Facebook, this will make the lights work. If you want a 737 Jet2.com livery (FS9 and FSX are interchangeable) ... http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=tds+737+jet2&CatID=root&Go=Search THEN learn how to use the default 737 VC with the TDS and you will be set.

dogdish Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 No, that's a 700. The Jet2.com livery I posted needs the 800 standard NOT MAX 8 either. Here is the TDS 737-800 for FS9 (will work in FSX also). Just go to TDS Facebook and get the FSX Model update. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?do=search&fname=tds_b737-800_base_package.zip To be able to download TDS model updates, you need a Facebook account but don't need to join TDS https://www.facebook.com/groups/TDS.SkySpirit.B737NG/files/ Also in the Aircraft.cfg, you MUST update which model to use or the plane won't even show in your FSX selection... model=?
