Thanks again
Here’s about one of the best (?) I’ve found. It is a tutorial, but it’s more than a year old (Oct. 2020) and the Salty has been updated countless times since then, so some things may not be applicable anymore. For example, he enters his entire flight plan manually, but now Salty has Simbrief integration. I think they are also still fighting with intermittent issues getting LNAV, VNAV, and A/T to work reliably. Sometimes you have to disable and re-enable to get things to activate properly.
Good luck. I hope you become the expert and put out the definitive video tutorial for the rest of us

A couple questions for fellow Salty users.
-
Have you noticed any liveries recently causing problems? Specifically I noticed the PanAm livery I had been using now causes issues. The IRS knobs no longer rotate, and you can’t turn off the pilot avatars. You end up “behind” the Captain’s sunglasses. Not sure if this is a post-SU8 occurrence? Tried a Cargo Lux livery with no problems.

I don’t seem to have any luck with the plane changing flight phases. It remains in the CLB phase for the entire flight and doesn’t switch to cruise or descent phases. I reach the programmed cruise altitude, but it never changes. Anyone else seeing this?
Salty MOD is broken since SU8
Did a flight yesterday evening and it was fine. Are you using the latest dev version? What problem are you having?
Yes, I’ve made a few flights since SU8. What I’ve seen are some possible livery breakages that might have happened after SU8. Curious if anyone else has the PanAm livery and if they’ve tried it, for example.
Salty mod is working fine but you need the dev version
All 747 liveries are broken for me. Tried with salty dev mode and some other version also. Liveries are messed up and default livery is invisible… 
if anyone has solution other than reinstalling the game, THANKS!
It’s gotta be something on your end. I’m using the most recent version with liveries and don’t have any issues. Maybe a conflicting mod?
Ok so I deleted the 747 folder and reinstalled it after launching the game. Now it is working just fine.
what is the latest version of the salty mod?
It can be a bit confusing. Best thing to do is go to the Salty Discord server. On the #faqs channel there is a link to the latest ‘dev’ version. I believe that is always the most up to date.
They announced yesterday that the mod has ‘forked’ from the Asobo 747. So it is now an entirely different aircraft rather than a mod to an aircraft - just like the FBW A320. This is good news for stability and development, but does mean the liveries for the Asobo 747 will no longer work (but can easily be modified to be Salty compatible).
They also announced that a major new stable version will be released in a few days. I don’t think this adds anything the dev version has but just locks in those improvements
I finally managed to get VNAV to work in it. The key step is to put in an arrival procedure and runway into the FMS. It won’t work without it (just like the WT CJ4 VNAV).
awesome, could you share a link for there discord channel!
I think that should do it.
Thank you very much!
For those that do not participate in Discord, could someone please outline here the procedure to convert the Asobo B747 liveries to the Salty standalone?
