General Electric CF680C2-B6F Engine Mod for FF767 1.0.0

Hi, just wondering, is it possible to switch between engine types in the sim? whenever I switch to a different engine, it's overlapped by the GE engine, which seems to be permanent. If it is, that's fine, I'm just curious.

If the engine isn't removing when your are switching then you've missed a step in the Manual, most likely an issue with the Kill Data Ref in the ACF/Plane Maker. Check you added them and check for any spaces you may have left in it.

Aha, fixed, thank you. I had it on the -200, but forgot to do it on the -300. 

first of all what is the big improvement using .dds instead .png textures in xplane?  what .dds format are you using for your. textures there are a huge of formats. I have made and tested several but they crashed the sim while loading the plane

dds is a compression format, my understanding is that xplane automatically compressing textures in to dds from png itself, having them already in DDS format makes this process faster potentially saving you performance.

The save format I use is BC3 for DDS, you can us photoshop + nvidia dds saving tools

thank you very much. I did never know that x-plane compresses the .png into .dds itself. Now I understand the improvement, even the file size is bigger.

Ya something to do with Directx or something that prefers the use of dds, its a special format to make performance better for games that use Directx if I remember.

Hello,

Just curious if you plan on updating the mod. I feel the fan blades and engine cowl could be tweaked. For example, I feel the engine fan is too far forward compared to the real one.

One day it will be updated, the cowling and blades do need to be redone, I agree this was a mod made from the A330 GE engines both of which are hold and could do with an update.

I downloaded this mod for the Project 76's 767 and it works out great!

 

Could the Fast spinning texture be remade ? its abit meh and not as good as recent releases for CFM IAE 

Will this work with the new Flight Factor 767-400 just released?

I hope to see the engines on the 764 soon

What do you mean. It will work if we install? 

Anyone know if the carda engines work on this new variant?

Anyone know?

As far as I know, yes, so long as you know the correct coordinates to put the engines on

Is it different than the coordinates given in the initial instructions?

if you use these  coordinates it works fine  210.89.long vert 0.2621

So let me understand.  These are different coordinates than what Carda provided in his instructions?  Also, will these coordinates work for both 300 and 400 or stick to the instructions for the 300 and your coordinates for the 400?

yes these  coordinates are only for 400er 

 

Obviously had to fit them on the new 764

 

Seems once my engines are running, the inside of the engine is fully see through and missing (not slightly like its supposed to be)

 

any possible chance to get XP12 update? default GE is ewwwww

Hey @Carda any Idea why im getting this wierd blue texture when engines are running on the 767-400 in Xplane 12. Pretty sure I have done everything correctly and no different then ive done in XP11.
