README info
1. Find the Community folder in the MSFS root folder.
For the Windows Store install:
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\ Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\
For the Steam install:
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\
Microsoft.FlightDashboard_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\
Important: Windows 10 by default hides the “AppData” folder, so you will have to go to “View” in the menu of File Explorer, and select “Hidden items” so as to see it.
For the Custom install:
If you happened to use a custom location for your Flight Simulator installation, then proceed there.
In my case it was: F:\Flight Simulator\Community\
2. Copy the OiMS747 folder you just unzipped to SIOC folder to the Community folder.
3. Open Oi4FS and make a configuration for the MS747 airplane.
4. Start the OiMS747 driver by clicking the MS747 image after you have started up the MS747 airplane in MSFS.
This is release v1.0 of the OiMS747 driver and improvements will be added as the MSFS SDK involves.
OiMS747 driver supports the Opencockpits modules: MCP, EFIS, CDU, COMs, and ATC.
MCP info and issues:
HDG rotary knob button acts as HDG Sel
HDG SEL button acts as HDG HOLD
EFIS info and issues:
To switch between RADIO and BARO make a long press on the MINS knob
To switch between IN and HPA make a long press on the BARO knob
Short presses of these knobs act as RST and STD.
As the RANGE knob has fewer detents than the virtual Range knob, not all ranges will be activated.
The VOR/ADF switches do not work. Maybe in a later update if possible.
CDU info and issues:
Buttons reflect the physical placement you find on the B747 CDU. The buttons can be changed to better reflect the namings of the buttons by a user edit of the script.
COMs
ATC:
Only knobs work to set the correct transponder code, the switches do not function.
To improve this driver, rksoftware must get feedback from you as a user for those things that are not working as they should. rksoftware will improve the driver if possible.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This driver package will only work with Oi4FS v1.1
