great model and a nice VC too!

Think perhaps they got a little rushed with the packaging, to get it out there.
Despite a "livery installer", there is no way you'd get it working as there are model files missing in the sub-variants.

I cobbled together a Lufthansa version in the end, but could not produce a 2D panel.
The VC is not bad, though perhaps not in the league of the POSKY B777.

Still, a significant FS9 aircraft, and one that fills a much-needed freeware slot.
I still rely on my Overland A380 after all these years...

ahh it is a tricky one to set up, you download the base pack which has the base -800 variant (Contains the main model files) and 3 other main variants folders 841, 842 and 861 if i recall, when you download a texture from there it comes with an auto-installer, if you drag that into corresponding model folder then run the BAT file, she's all set, the .cfg automatically gets written for that paint. no 2D but with a VC this nice.... wowzers.... i'm already touring with the thing :D

No problems for me getting it together.Did a bit of a "airshow" from both inside and out,very nice!
For me this ones a keeper!

[Matt Wynn]

just need some great sounds now which really nail the '380 shriek' as heard here (56s mark, very distinctive sound to me):

What an odd sound, like my hound when I accidentally stood on her tail.....
and a little like me when she sunk her get even fangs into my calf. lol

Not a lover of modern tubeliners, but I will have to hunt this one down and try her out.

As you know, I'm no "busdriver" ... But this one brilliant !

I never paid much atention to the previous releases due to the lack of a VC but now that it has one I installed it; I wasn't disappointed!

BTW the sounds are aliased in an odd way that doesn't work; the variants are aliased to the -800 but that's aliased to the default 737; since you can't 'double-alias' in Fs the sounds do not work. Copying the sound.cfg from the -800 to the others or installing a real soundset in the -800 solves the sound issues.

I downloaded the files from the site Smoothie linked to.

I don't know how to open a '7Z' file. Advise please?

Edit: Found zip files on AVSIM, so I've got it sorted. Thanks.

[Matt Wynn]

pf, winrar will open .7z files as well as the usual .rar and .zip files

[Ferry_vO]

Or download and install 7-zip: http://www.7-zip.org/

It's a great and free zip utility that replaced both Winzip and Winrar on my system!

[phantomx1]

Can't open the 7z file. Doesn't look like a normal zip file.

What does it take to unlock it?

[Quax d. Bruchpilot]

also not with WIN RAR ? Take a look at the (your) settings (also in WIN ZIP)
