FAQ
Q: When is the release date?
A: As we are very early in development, and have no release date at this time.
Q: Where can I download liveries?
A: You can download liveries from various authors that aren't included with the 777 from from our livery repository. This repository also has the official Stratosphere livery for other aircraft.
Livery Painters
If you are a livery painter and want us to add your livery to the repository, please create a pull request to the livery repo above and we'll add it if it meets our standards. The paintkit is located in the "!Stratosphere 777-300ER" folder in the livery repo. Note that while the modeling is mostly complete, it's still subject to some changes.
Q: Where can I follow progress and announcements for this aircraft?
A: Keep up with the project on our Discord Server! You can also see a detailed changelog here.
Q: What is the black console window that appears when I start the aircraft?
A: Don't close it. It helps the developers find bugs and fix them. If you close this window, X-Plane will crash. Along with the log.txt, this is one of the primary tools for investigating issues. This can be disabled by deleting the xtlua_debugging.txt file from the aircraft's "plugins/xtlua/64/" folder.
Q: How do I start the aircraft?
A: As of now, you can't start the plane from cold and dark because systems have not been implemented yet. For now, enable "Start with engines running" in the aircraft menu. When systems are implemented, you should follow the checklists and manuals found here.
Q: How can I contribute to this aircraft?
A: Please use the Github issue page to report any problems you find. This will greatly help us fix issues.
If you want to help out and you have some dev skills, feel free to fork, modify, and make a pull request!
Q: Why is my aircraft broken and/or I get error messages?
A: You have selected the wrong aircraft. The 777 download inlcudes two aircraft which show up in the X-Plane menu. One of them is an experimental one we are using to test our new flightmodel, but it is otherwise fairly broken.
Q: Even after following the above instructions my aircraft is still broken?
A: Please remember this aircraft is still in the works. By downloading from github, you our downloading our experimental dev version, so there will be plenty of bugs and things that don't work. Please be patient as we continue working on the aircraft, and once again, we don't have a set release date yet, so please don't ask!
Q: Will this aircraft support X-Plane 12?
A: Of course!
Q: Why are the physics broken/the plane won't take off/I can barely control the aircraft?
A: We know the physics are very broken currently. We're actively working on it.
INSTALLATION
Go to our Github repository, click the green "Code" button, then click "Download Zip". This version gets updated frequently. Then extract the aircraft folder and move it to your X-Plane aircraft folder as with any other aircraft.
If you're on Windows, you'll need to install C++ Support to use this aircraft.
I suggest you use Github Desktop to keep the aircraft updated without needing to redownload it every time.
