Non VC DM BAC 1-11

[fran65]

Buongiorno,
my Gran Grill model PC is not a fan of VC, and now is no time for new shining machine.
Is there a "light" version of BAC 1-11, without VC?
Thank you for your info!

Hi Fran

There are the older pre VC versions.

Disabling the VC might help but I don't know by how much

Hi Fran

Yes.. there is a non-VC version of the One-Eleven. I think DM did away with the option on one of the models, perhaps all of em but the ones on my system are of a suitable age that I can still choose VC or non VC. If you can't, we'll get you sorted with less frame hungry versions

Hi all,
Dave, I think I have newest versions (downloaded this year).
How can I check the "non vc" option?

[Garry Russell]

Fran

I don't recall a non VC option

You need the earlier pre VC models

If there was an option it would be on his site

Hi Garry,
you are right.
DM's site seems without pre VC versions.
Maybe someone have a copy. I will wait.

Hi Fran

Okey doh. As mentioned above, I had a feeling DM might have done away with the no-VC option (it makes his life a lot easier to keep track of what he has as far as updates go). Do you want all the 1-11's.. 200/400/500's??

Before I send em up the line.. if you can do a check for me. Go into your aircraft folder and find the 1-11's. Click on one of the folders to open it and look to see if you have a 'model.X00_NoVC'.. X being the model number, eg. model.200_NoVC or model.400_NoVC e t c. The older models will also have a panel folder (the one within the aircraft folder) marked as panel.NoVC which will link to DMFS Shared Files. The more I think about this, it may take me ages to sort/upload for you but I do have the necessary files here if you need them

Hi Dave,
no there aren't the files that you asked me.
I hope for you is not a problem...

Hiya Fran..

OK mate. I have a cunning plan which I can hopefully get my head around. Will be in touch via PM when it's all together

Hi everyone.

I hate VC and I'm using that: (found somewhere on avsim or something)

Hi,

For those who have wanted to remove a virtual cockpit from a FS2004 Aircraft model but don't know how to, here's how:-

First, download the freeware Hex Editor called "XVI32", located here:-

http://www.programmersheaven.com/downlo ... nload.aspx

Now, launch XVI32 and do the following.

1. Use FILE and OPEN and browse to FS root folder, Aircraft folder, the aircraft folder that you want to remove VC on, and finally the MODEL folder within that.

2. Select the .mdl file within the MODEL folder (there may be more than one, you will have process each of the different models if you want to remove VCs from them all.

3. Now, use XVI32's SEARCH function (it's either called Search or Find!) to look for the following Hex String (ensure the radial button for Hex Strings is selected in the SEARCH screen):

00 22 00 39 00

4. Important! ..... now, you need to find the second occurance of that string, so select Search again and this time choose "Find Next Down" from the menu.

5. This wil search down the code and highlight the second occurance of the above string.

6. Now simply change the '39' within the string to '38', press enter, then FILE and SAVE.

THAT'S IT !

You've removed the VC from that Aircraft Model. To reverse this action, simply search for the revised string (remember it will have a '38' now), and change back to a '39'.

DO NOT CHANGE THE FIRST OCCURANCE OF THIS STRING - OR NASTY THINGS WILL HAPPEN - YOU MAY WAKE UP WITH A HORSES HEAD NEXT TO YOU !

This works on around 90% of aircraft (including Defaults) - of course it is not required on add-ons like PMDG and Level D, that have their own ways of removing VCs.

But I've used it on add-ons like 737PIC and feelThere Airbus Series and it works great and dramatically improves frame rates.

Or can send You newest "mdl" files without VC.

Tomasz
