Aircraft compatibility in Prepar3D V4

[roger-wilco-66]

I'd like to dedicate a thread just for aircraft compatibility under the new V4 version of P3D.


Here's what I found myself so far:



Aerosoft Catalina X works flawless --> new version v1.22 has 64bit ASC.dll
Aerosoft OV-10a Bronco works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
Aeroplane Heaven B17 works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
Aeroplane Heaven Helldiver works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
Sibwings Birddog broken. Full of errors in the model, probably a malfunctioning DLL from a copy / license protection
Ants T28 Trojan free+payware works, but Saitek throttle does not work, neither in Mode 1 nor in Mode 2
Piglets Porter works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
AF F-4U Corsair works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
CS C-130 Hercules works, but no gauges (tried copy + fresh install)
CS 707 gauges don't work, controllers don't work (tried copy + fresh install)
Milviz Huey basically works, but some gauges don't, no frequency display on radios --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
CAC Boomerang works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
C-150 Aerobat freeware works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
Mjahns DC-47 V3.14 works flawless, but custom sound gauge does not function (No Nancy, no pilot, no copilot) One CTD, presumably beacuse of the gauge.
Gordons Tigercat works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
AH/JF Zero works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
AH JF F4 Wildcat works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
AH JF F3F works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4


That's all for now, more to come!

to be honest I never checked, each model had a quick going over to see if the gauges work and i had a VC

Im not happy about the Helo AP gauge from Dirk not working

Thank you for your effort migrating stuff! :) I'm not entirely sure, though, that you have tested compatibility thoroughly enough.



Aerosoft Catalina X works flawless --> copied the relevant folders and files over from P3D V3.4
The above is just an example I picked because I own that particular aircraft myself.

Are you saying that all of a sudden the cockpit sound module "ASC.DLL", located in the panel folders, has turned 64-bit, as if by magic?

It may not crash the sim, but "works flawless" may be slightly exaggerated, just saying.

I have to agree, theres a lot of stuff here that although it may load and fly doesn't work 100%. Check Costco Catalogue (https://www.ladysavings.com/publix-weekly-ad/?costco/) and Harvey Norman Catalogue (https://www.ladysavings.com/publix-weekly-ad/?harvey-norman/).
When testing please make sure that the "Enable Content Error Reporting" checkbox is ticked on the main options page guys.
It will show errors with most planes, a lot of which arent important but especially look for 32bit DLL errors.

Basic rule of thumb. If any of the gauges used are .DLL or .GAU then there will be errors.

[jeansy]

thats easy, do it yourself....

This thread is about sharing information, not about being 100% right.

I re-checked the Catalina and found that some of the cockpit sounds (opening the window, klick sounds of the switches...) are missing, that's all. The engines and other sounds work.

I would like to invite you to do some thorough testing on the Catalina and enlighten us on everything else that does not work because of the ASC.dll!


Cheers,
Mark

Actually, if you downloaded the reworked Twotter (v1.21) from Aerosoft you get a working 64bit ASC.dll.

Also, the Catalina can officially be downloaded from Aerosoft as P3Dv4 version (v1.22), as well.

I visited the HiFi site and saw that the V4 open beta are available only to people who have a valid registration key for AS 2016 for P3D V3. Once you get it set up you can add FSX-SE, P3D V3 and P3D V4. Works fine and I have it set up to the way I want it.

How would a statement such as "Are you saying that all of a sudden the cockpit sound module "ASC.DLL", located in the panel folders, has turned 64-bit, as if by magic?" be taken as being helpful, constructive criticism? It may have not been intentional, but it appears to be sarcastic and mean spirited.

this the dll files used in the gauges and the copyright protection that dont work, nothing you can do until they re release it in v4 format

unless you have the sources data for the gauges and convert them to xml

One of my favorites , the Alabeo D17 Staggerwing has some interior cockpit texture problems . I'm sure it will all be moved in the the right direction as the developers update their products to v4 compatibility . I emptied my shader cache folder thinking it might have something to do with it but it made no difference .

no its the "CMeteoXml.dll" and "Carenavigraph.dll" the first file is required for the copyright protection, its plaguing all the mid to late Carenado releases as well, the second one is the FMS for those models that have one thats is also causing some problems

If you have any early releases by Carenedo they will work like the Arrow as they dont require this file but the more recent ones will fail

I remember correctly all of the Alabeo aircraft where released after Carenado introduced this file, so they all will have that problem

[Cirrus N210MS]

Virtavia's planes do work :wavey:

[Crusader]

Thanks to all for sharing this info (especially jeansy) . I have a better understanding of most of it now . I can see this will be a very useful thread too all . Hopefully the developers will kick it in gear and we will start seeing the v4 compatible AC soon realizing the work involved will take time .

Rich

[jetstreamsky]

The FSX DG808S Glider seems to be fine too, not a bad model for a bit of ridge soaring.

[Stickshaker]

Beaufighter, I am truly sorry for you, but in a way it is balm to my soul! Why? Because I had the problem of the invisible Mosquito with P3Dv3, I seemed to be the only one, and despite vast efforts, JF could not cure it. I hope that now that you seem to have the same or a similar problem, a cure may be found. Incidentally, you could try whether the demo of the Mosquito works. With me it did in P3Dv3.
Best regards,
Stickshaker

[UnknownGuest12]

Hi Stickshaker, better luck than you....works perfectly here, in P3D v3.4 Let´s hope they´ll find a cure. Anyway bought it for v3, no reason to complaints and always able to use it since I kept v3. Invisible Mosquito was a secret weapon, now they are trying stealth planes. Britain suceed where America failed with Corsair Birdcage still showing outer wing panels....
Best regards

[roger-wilco-66]

For the record, the Birdcage Corsair shows the same phenomena on my system. This might be linked to a .gau and .dll problem, since both are present in the panel folder.

Cheers,
Mark

[Stickshaker]

Hello Beaufighter, did I misunderstand ypour post? What problem did you have with the Mosquito?

[PhantomTweak]

I think he's having texture problems, so it looks like he "sitting on air". Or like Wonder Woman's jet. Not seeing any of the plane.
I think is what he means.
I've been wrong before, though. Many, many times. I won't go so far as "usually" but...

I think invisible Justflight planes will be their copy protection, it's also how they do their demo's which go invisible after a while. 32bit code to be replaced...hopefully same code for all planes :)
Other invisibles will be FS9 elements in the model - the Virtavia Caribou sadly is missing doors, wheels etc. And breaks the P3D menu system too so a restart is needed.

The Virtavia/Flight 1 Islander works well, except the GPS which is a 32bit GAU and sadly part of the cockpit 3D model. Also the scuttle no longer shakes on engine run-up :(
The Razbam Metroliner also mostly works, just flashing power light and defunct fuel gauges and load manager.
VirtualCol Otter works OK.

If you have either the Aerosoft Twin Otter or Catalina you get a new 64bt asc.dll in the new install - could maybe be used for any other Aerosoft plane not currently ported?

Was that the Rafale M by Roland or Thor's Hammer? I haven't tried Roland's but the latter lost the pilot figure in both P3Dv4 and FSW.

Also in any other these compatible aircraft has anyone found a working HUD that I could add to an aircraft with no cockpit like Thor's Hammer Rafale?

This from Carenado:

June 9th, 2017 With the recently released version 4 of P3D, all our aircraft have been grounded. All of them were developed for 32-bit, and don´t work with the new 64-bit platform, causing internal logic incompatibilities (no problem with the model and textures).
The solution is not too complicated, but requires work. We know how to make them compatible, and we will start working on them soon.
The process will take time because we will have to update more than 80 aircraft. We hope to accomplish this task in the next months and start re-releasing a fair amount of updated aircraft each month.
For now, customers could be confident about their investment because all of the upgrades will be free of charge.

I especially like their last sentence.

[jmig]

I received an email from PCAviator this morning telling me that Carenado had released version 2.1 of their PC-12HD. I don't know if that is the V4 compatible version? But, I am downloading it.

Im not entirely sure as I dont own any of their early stuff, however most of their products use the "CMeteoXml.dll" and gau files which will result in semi visible VCs and engine failure, I would give it a few months for them to update their files

However You can try and install them but they wont be flyable until the conversion is complete from their end

[LouP]

Thanks Jeansy,

I can wait. I just thought if it were mainly some files that get installed for security purposes that the original installer would put them in P3D after pointing the install process there. I don't want to break anything.

Yep, all is based on two dll files.

On the other hand, the Razbam 201 works like a charm within V4, you can even select weapons to carry though you won't be able to launch them.

I'm delighted that the RealAir Scout / Decathlon / Citabria seems to work well in V4 so far, on the basis of a few short busy flights. If it carries on this must make it the best value add-on I've ever bought - exactly the same purchase worked flawlessly in FSX SP2, Acceleration, FSX SE, P3D 2, P3D 3 and (so far) in version 4.

[centuryseries]

From what I have seen so far, my Glowingheat.co.uk B-58 Hustler, SR-71 Blackbird and my forthcoming Lockheed A-12 Cygnus all work in both FSX and P3D V4 without modification. Slight anomalies in the air refuelling gauge but the functionality still works.

They haven't responded to anything on their forum for a few years now, a real shame as the AN-2, Bird-Dog and Safir were three of my faves. Noticed yesterday that their forum is now offline so it seems to be all over. A pity.

Anyone tested Lionheart LJ24B?


Yep, all is based on two dll files.

On the other hand, the Razbam 201 works like a charm within V4, you can even select weapons to carry though you won't be able to launch them.

MAAM-SIM B-25 & C-47/R4D will not load, you just end up in the F-22. Interesting behavior. The MAAM_B25.dll, MAAM_B25VC.dll, MAAM_B25.gau, MAAM_R4D.gau will have to recompiled.


This is one of those that I would volunteer to work on for free to get it into V4.


Razabam A-7 (Non TP) flys but you can't alter the payload (Yea your in ferry configuration) until the A7_Ordnance_Mngr.dll in the modules folder gets recompiled.

[drmagnumwolf]

I did some quick tests, and these are the planes I found to be working on P3D v4 from Just Flight.

The Virtavia freeware FSX EH-101 Merlin works perfectly in V4.

Maybe that can help some who are missing their FSX EH-101, which cannot be ported because of its custom gauge DLL. It still works great in V3 though.

A pity indeed. However as one door closes another usually opens... perhaps a developer will take on the development of these types from scratch, knowing there is a market for them going forward... or perhaps a freeware developer will take them on knowing there is a receptive audience...

[docjohnson]

I flew the C-47 a couple of days ago and it worked like a charm...

[Gooneybird565]

Just you will miss various sounds, and some other thingies not working. But no problem to fly, just a little bit less additional sounds than in P3D3...
P3D4 does not accept the 32bits gauges, usually found as .gau or .dll files. Doug Dawson dsd_etc... gauges also need to be recoded in 64 bits.
I understand various gauges authors know that, and work is already scheduled more than probably.

I had no problems downloading the Piper Tri-Pacer and the C-195.

EDIT: Also I must point out that the aircraft that I have listed as working in P3D V4 have problems with the click sounds on the switches. This would indicate a problem with a sound.dll somewhere. But at the moment it is something I can live with. One thing I did notice is that the engine sounds change from the VC to external views. Externally the sounds are louder than when in the VC.

I finally got it downloaded, with FreeDownloadManager, but it won't install to P3Dv4. Not even available in choices. It did install to V3, altho I had installer pointed to v4. But I already had it installed in V3. There are some new items in the gauges folder in v3, but not sure what needed in v4.

With the proper lines added to dll.xml, the load configurator works on Razbam A-7s. Tanks need to be de-fuelled before they can be removed and weight needs to be added manually for the added stored.

Good news, Winch X works in P3Dv4 (I know, it's not an aircraft, but it's a big deal to me). Bad news, the Iris Vulcan causes a CTD every time I try to load it, rather strange I can't figure out why it would do that.

I wish Milviz would redo the Vulcan and release it as P3Dv4 material....that bird is awesome. With Tacpack would be a huge winner and combined with their USAF Cold War and Vietnam aircraft and Dave Rowberry's EE Lightnings, and Glowing heats A-12 you've got yourself a real bunch of NATO aircraft with teeth!! Talk about cool!

The problem is caused by something in the B2.air file, when I tested with an .air file from another add on, the Vulcan loaded fine, I could successfully complete the complex start up procedure and fly the beast.

The 1st thing I noticed when I opened the B2.air file in AirEd is that it has lots of obsolete FS2002/FS2004 legacy records. I attached a fixed version of the B2.air file to this post, I did not have time to test it thoroughly so if you find issues please post your feedback.

I no longer get CTDs. I've only tried to start her up once though and failed. This may be because I'm very rusty and did something wrong, or perhaps something else is up? I'd be interested to hear other's experiences.

A quick look around and to my eye everything is as it should be besides materials for lights/buttons in the VC.

The Vulcan is not easy to operate, so are the airbrakes... You need to make sure you have hydraulics power, they only work once you have managed to get the engines running.
And that is not all, the airbrakes have 4 stages and use the flaps keys F5/F6/F7/F8 to operate.

Edit: Don't forget to enable the Powered Flight Controls (PFC), you have to click a whole bunch of red lights on the left console, they all must be off and turned dark.

I haven't moved to v4 yet (soon), but I'm following this thread with interest.

Has anyone tried any of the Nemeth Design choppers yet in v4, in particular the MD902 Explorer? ND has been pretty dormant lately.

Also,has anyone tried any of the Vertigo Studios aircraft in v4? I'm particularly interested in knowing if their F9F Panther and F8F
Bearcat will work. Like ND, VS also seems very dormant.

I'm hoping the ND's and VS's aren't going to become "lost to the ages", as was so aptly said on another thread.

Thanks - Rob

[hschuit]

Rob, I got the Vertigo Panther working in P3Dv4 but it took a fair bit of surgery:

- The FSX version uses a 32bit DeadPixel sound module to support cockpit sounds, I have replaced this with Doug Dawson's 64bit DSD sound module. This is not simple, I needed to trace the DeadPixel WAV names and local vars and write a new DSD sound.ini file for them.

- The VS_F9F_Blueprint.CAB configuration/load mgr gauges depended on the 32bit VS_F9F_BPC.gau file, I had to re-write the XML code and update the aircraft.cfg station_load entries to make the load mgr work with 64bit XMLTools.

Anyway, if you can live without the cockpit click sounds and load mgr, the jet is usable as it is in P3Dv4. There is always the option to enter the payload weights manually I guess.

Thanks for the info! Yes, beyond my programming knowledge and hunt-and-peck typing capabilities. Although never say never. I suppose
similar will apply to other VS planes. Still not as bad as could be, with gauges in the panel or outside animations not working, or CTD's as
soon as you try to load.

Thanks again for the info! - Rob

Its because nemeth have ceased development, they closed shop back in Jan15

The Huey and Chinook work OK.

The Carenado C185 Bush works well, just one GAU for the gear on the amphibian version.
Their 206G has a LOT of GAUs, because I need the 206 I've been working through replacing the gauges with C185 equivalents...easy for the round dials, hard for the radios...
Vertigo Vans and Stearman on the list to try soon.

[Javis]

Never too much biplanes what with all this amazing sceneries to explore (IMHO of course ;-)

These too work perfectly 'out of the box'. Might want to replace the default sound of the Fury with one of freeware Merlin sound packs. If you check the real Fury at Oldwarden ( https://youtu.be/iIyGIQs8bSI ) the Kestrel sounds much more similar to a Merlin than what the default sound proposes. ( you could try any of Des Braban's Merlin sounds, i use 'spitpkg.zip' atm)

KSW how do you get the Captain Sim B-52 Driver to work in P3Dv4? I've managed to install it and it displays ok but I can't start the engines!

Thanks,
Ian

Ian - I think he means that all of those planes in his list are not yet working in P3Dv4, and NEED to be working?

PMDG NGX 800 & 700 now V4 native

re download via place of purchase

[SpaceWeevil]

Ant's Airplanes Sierra LSA (V2.3) is fully P3D v4 compatible with a nifty muti-platform installer that follows LM's new policy of installing addons outside the root folder - or not, if you want. This sparky little sport 2-seater is beautifully modelled, fun to fly, well-equipped and cheap - £9 at Just Flight. I wish I'd bought this before the Alabeo Piper Cruz Sport!

[AussieMan]

Blackbox Simulations have upgraded their Cessna L-19 Bird Dog to P3D V4. Looking at their site they have also updated their Beagle Pup and most of their products are listed as P3D V4 compatible.

[papab]

I just noticed the the IFLY 747-400 is now available for P3DV4 at Flight one, V2.2.0.0:

Carenado have released their Rockwell Turbo Aerocommander with the V4 installer.

[AussieMan]

Does anyone have a copy of the email from Carenado outlining the version 4 update of aircraft to P3D V4. I got one this morning but in moving it to the Carenado folder in my email reader I accidently deleted it. Be much appreciated if someone can show me what was updated in the 4th round of updates.


Also lesson learned ...... don't try to mess around with email before the morning cuppa.

Haven't recieved a 4th batch email...but on their Facebook their is a 4th batch from Alabeo
"ALABEO AIRCRAFT UPDATED TO P3DV4Here is the fourth and last batch of updated aircraft for make them usable in P3D version 4.
C310R FSX/P3D
C441 CONQUEST II FSX/P3D
PA31 CHIEFTAIN 350 FSX/P3D
PA23 AZTEC F 250 FSX/P3D
Serial numbers originally delivered with the purchase are still usable for each aircraft.
With this batch the entire Alabeo fleet has been updated to P3D v4.
Customers should download the package again from the link provided and retrieve a new serial number.
Resellers already have them, please allow them one or two days to get them up in their sites.
You should uninstall the aircraft before installing this new version."

Got the Aztec update, works well though it generates a lot of ContentErrors, mostly just sloppy changes to the CFG files but also some gauge errors.
Worst it puts the wrong cmeteo dll intp dll.xml - should be CMeteoXmlx64.dll

That "Content Error" thing is a developer tool. You really need to turn that off, you don't need it, and it will drive you crazy. Had the same problem when P3D 3 came out.

Hmm, perhaps they re-wrote the dll, and didn't bother to rename it. Since that file is the one that tells the sim that the copy is legit, it obviously works. The plane don't have invisible wings or whatever anymore.

Some sound effects (e.g. cockpit switches) do not work unless you manually replace the 32bit ASC.dll module with the 64bit version which is available on the Aerosoft Twotter forum. Also air refuelling does not work but that is not a real deal breaker.

I have a P3Dv4 installer, from PCAviator following the email saying P3Dv4 version was available. Needed the new Serial # to install.
It's possible they updated it immediately with a fix, I'll try downloading again.

Just to restate the problem - the XML.DLL is updated by the installer with the wrong name, still the old 32bit DLL, the NEW 64bitDLL is present as I stated, just not loaded.

Currently I've suppressed all versions of cmeteo...I was having strange time-shift problems, and as Sue pointed out it caused problems with V3 I suppressed it and the problems went away.

Flight1 GTN 650/750 has been released for P3D V4.

Available at: http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=gtncomplete

There is a very involved read on the page before you get to the download link. I purchased after May 2017 the upgrade is free provided you can produce your order number. People who purchased before May 2017 there is a coupon available that allows you to get it for a small price of $US19.95 (I paid $AU26.17 because of the exchange rate). Apparently the one installer is suitable for all versions.

[Mbudge]

Hi all, almost all of Wolfgang Piper's freeware gliders and motorgliders work in v4, he has updated the installers to include Doug Dawson's 64bit sound module. Regards, Mark

Pleased to report the following FSX native versions of older a/c work:

AS F-8U Crusader
AS RA-5C Vigilante (both this and F8 look awesome in V4)
SOH Grumman Mallard NB: LDR piston (FSX native) version only
Dassault Falcon F50

Also, I copied the FSX default Goose into V4 Simobjects/airplanes (some say not to do this but don't know why). That made the AI versions appear in the preview, but none with cockpits. I then removed the AI Goose and the FSX Goose with the VC appeared and worked well, however, the wake only appears at very slow speeds - along with concrete scraping sparks - something strange there I don't know the solution to . .

[rvn817j]

Just installed the Area 51 C-17 using the "xml" method. Everything seems to work (buttons, HUD, etc.), but I would sure like to see "000rick000" do his thing with enhanced, upgraded textures.

(I have tried several, MilViz YF-23 and Blue Angels F18, without success. They fly, but cockpit functionality is poor at best.)

Tried the Dragon Lady in P3d v4 last evening and all seems to function properly. Used the "xml" addon method. Does anyone know if there is a manual available for this aircraft as I would like to try to get to the operating ceiling of 70,000? I was only able to get to 40,000 last evening and started having engine performance issues. (I checked the Area51 website and my install file for the manual. Maybe it gets installed into another file?)

Quite a few of the JF planes don't work in P3Dv4 as of yet. I presume JF will update as they go along. Some like the Viscount do work.

[spatialpro]

DaveG kindly let me know that the Chipmunk, and presumably other similar age JF/AH creations, have "a copy protection gauge which is not compatible with v4".

[RobM]

I don't know if already mentioned, but the KCFS Seabee ports just fine to v4.

I recommend using it's Flight1 wrapper (little red airplane) and selecting reinstall. Once unwrapped, you can point the
install towards an empty folder, and then copy/paste the contents

Thanks - Rob

[RobM]

And a couple more blasts from the past: the old A2A WWIIFighters Spitfire Mk1 and ME109E, upgraded for FSX, port perfectly
into v4. Just copy and paste. The outsides look a bit bland, but the vc's look very good, if a bit fps heavy.

As far as I can tell after a few short flights, everything seems to work the same as in FSX (except the usual missing vc switch click
sounds).

I'm glad these could come over: I really like the A2A Spitfires both old and new, but per posts at A2A, it may be awhile before
they can get their WOP3 planes with accusim, including the WOP3 Spitfire, into v4.

Thanks.

[docjohnson]

In addition to shutting down the engine (0 RPM) you have to empty the tanks. I don't think I could ever get rid of my inboard tanks. But I was able to configure the weapons, don't think I could release anything except by jettison. I'll have to go fly that one again...late here so I'll post again tomorrow.

Yea the armament control loads the weapons (after RPM 0 % and Emptying the tanks), but you get strange behavior trying to release or launch anything. I could not really get weapons delivery working in V4 with this one...

I have a lot of the Caranedo aircraft that are the normal ones for FSX ie not HD or EX versions. Are they going to be updated for P3Dv4 or is it going to be a job of buying new compatible ones. I know they have updated a few but I just wondered if it was a question of just waiting and they will get round to them all.

[ncooper]

That's what they said.

[simondix]

That's what they said.

Thanks for that. I will wait.

[awstub]

I'm assuming you are referring to the non-Tacpack versions of the A-7.....

...but if you go into the fuel and payload menu and put all the stations to 0, you should be able to use the loadout manager.

Yes, non Tacpack. (Was there an update I missed or an entirely different aircraft?)

Emptied tanks, no joy. Again, I see a menu, (not a graphical window as in FSX) and nothing happens. I saw somewhere that someone said the dll.xml(?) file had to have an entry. Is this so? There are no unique entries in the dll.xml for FSX

I sent a support ticket to JF.

[jeansy]

I think I found the problem, when i uninstalled it and reinstalled it, it inadvertently deleted the contents of my effects folder

after doing a p3dv4 repair install it works fine now, however how or why it removed all my effects I have no idea, they where there earlier last night prior to installing as I was looking for a vc light

I only noticed today that the only contents where the jf smoke effects

you might want to review the uninstaller

plus again it wiped my control mapping on reinstall but i have a spare xml copy saved so thats no big issue for me

now i just have to repair or install every add on all over again so i can have the effects back to the way it was

[Martyn]

Our installers shouldn't be able to uninstall files other than those included with the product, and shouldn't alter any files related to control mapping, but we are looking into it now.

Thanks
Martyn

[Martyn]

Unfortunately it looks like an old version of the DC-8 installer might uninstall effects which are used by the DC-8, but also other aircraft, due to commonly used names. It shouldn't uninstall all effects though and we can't reproduce or find a reason for that here. The latest installers won't uninstall these shared effects though.

If you are encountering CTDs in P3D v4, can you let me know which version of Prepar3D and SimConnect you are using? After launching a flight, go to Help > About Lockheed Martin Prepar3D on the top menu bar. We need to know the Prepar3D and SimConnect version numbers.

If you are in touch with our support team then they'll be asking you this via email.

Martyn, I managed to finally "trick" the P3Dv4 -50 to -70 DC-8 into loading onto my Win10 system last night (took two nights playing with installer compatibility settings...just won't launch) and it seems to be flying fine. When I managed to get the DC-8 -10 to -40 installer to finally launch (two nights of fiddling around also), there was no option to install into P3D v4...only radio buttons for install to v1, 2, or 3. So, glad to hear the installers will be fixed. Also glad to hear the CTD when switching planes will be fixed (has been happening since I reloaded the gorgeous Fokker F-27 into P3Dv4)...now if we could only get a service pack that included an external tanks option for the F27-200...grin...I know, ain't never gonna happen.

All good news from you, however.

[ncooper]

This is not my experience either with Windows 10 or the installer which does indeed offer the P3D v4 option.
No tricks were required and I have to wonder if you have somehow been using the old installer version.

ncooper-- Now you've got me wondering. I didn't get a choice of installers...I logged into Just Flight, went to "my Account" and redownloaded...and attempted to launch them-- no choice of installers that I know of. I suspect the link in my account probably does point to the old (non-P3D v4) installer for the DC-8-10 to -40 series-- which is why I didn't get that option. When I finally did get the installer on the DC-8-50 to -70 series to acutally launch, it did give me a P3D V4 option. I would have thought that when JF announces "Updated to P3D v4", it would mean anyone who bought it can access the new installers. But maybe not...

UPDATE - Well I'll be DIPPED...I went back tonight to the JF site, logged in, and voila! There was an option for DC-8 -10 to -40 for P3D v4. Don't know if it was in response to my post, it was simply late going up, or if I was simply oblivious to it being there since release. Either way, thanks to the folks at JF.

I've finished updating the Sea Fury for P3D4. Along with updating the engine control gauge to 64 bit, I've also reworked the gun sight to function as a gyro gun sight with selectable target wing span and range, tweaked a couple of sound settings, and changed the material settings so reflections work allowing bare metal repaints. There are three new paint schemes in the new version, Burmese Air Force 1 Sqn, Cuban Air Force, and RAN 805NAS post Korea.
I'll be sending a free download link to everyone with the original version as soon as I can get the email addresses out of the system. For anyone else interested it's available at the link below.

Note the Burmese and Cuban aircraft weren't actually bare metal, which disappointed me when I found out!

[AussieMan]

Is this upgrade free to current owners of the Sea Fury or will it finish up joining the A2A hangar queens?

[speedy70]

Pat if you read what he says.He will be sending out emails for the FREE update------

Cheers Chris

[Martyn]

Thanks Pat. It looks like we've tracked down the cause of the DC-8 50 to 70 CTD and the developer is working on it now.

With Henk's assistance we've tracked down the cause of the CTDs that occur when switching aircraft and exiting P3D. We'll need to update the installers for a variety of products and we'll be doing that ASAP.

Martyn

Over the weekend we identified an issue with SimConnect which caused some users to encounter CTDs in P3D v4 when switching from our aircraft to another aircraft, or when exiting P3D.


The following products were updated yesterday to address the issue and the latest installers can be downloaded from your account:

Canberra

After downloading the new versions today

Im finding the tristar is invisible both internal and external, only 2d panel views work

if I switch to another JF product they are semi invisible as well

if i switch to another non JF product then try another JF product they appear to work

but if I try the tristar again, i get nothing


please refer to the posted video, it maybe still uploading so please check back at later time

Thanks

Mr Martyn, what about the DC10HD package that was already updated to p3dv4? Will it need a new installer too? It´s not in your addon list above.
Thanks :encouragement:

no need i was able to resolve it

I only own the tristar not tristar pro package

owner operator error on my behalf, soz, i didnt release there was two versions

[Martyn]

The DC-10 HD doesn't use our gauge system so it doesn't require the same update, however it does use some gauges provided by other developers and we are looking into issues with some of those.

Thanks
Martyn

Thanks for the feedback mr. Martyn :encouragement:

Lots of the UKMIL aircraft work fine - especially the helis do. Like the Puma and CH-47, they are no upmarket in the systems though... But visually they are great!
