SSG 747-8 Intercontinental Advanced

Postby Greyman » Sat May 20, 2017 12:53 pm

I just downloaded this aircraft and it looks like it might have been a total waste of money. It would appear that the mouse cannot currently be used to adjust the cockpit controls, as the mouse pointer will not go to the same level that they are on, instead it just floats in front of your face.

A post from the developer, SSG, on the aircraft's forum appears to brush it off as being VR not being stable enough, despite the fact that the developers of the other XP11 aircraft that i have downloaded, do not have this problem.

I'd steer clear of this one for now, until they figure out what the other developers have.

I think but not sure that this is just a slight tweak/update of their earlier 747 for xp10? If people and devs haven't been exposed to VR then I think it's a shame that they just brush it off so easily. Annoys me when they say things like that. Non users are non believers :(

So given all of the other aircraft i have downloaded work fine, what is it that SSG have done that might be making this one not work with FI XP?

oh, btw, i can operate the cockpit controls with Touch and with the FI cursor, but i'd rather just be able to use the mouse

Success, although you probably won't believe what sorted it.

I was thinking about doing my own thing with Plane Maker, but before that, i wanted to see whether the click points had been set properly, so activated those in settings, along with the tips check box, below it.

When i got into the cockpit, expecting to see lots of green markers, as i had when selecting that option with my other planes, it actually sorted the problem, with me then being able to adjust all of the cockpit controls. I'm guessing that the display clickable zones option must be used specifically by the developers, deliberately or not, to control how the mouse cursor behaves in the 3d cockpit.

Either way, it all seems to work now and i am currently in the air in my 747.
