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!


Cheers,
Mark

one thing about the ceras in v4: the nav/comm standby/actv switch doesn't work. otherwise looks good, HTR also working.

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

Avon Brochure might be a really hot deal but there is only one way of knowing.

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,

actv/stdby switch working with HF1.

[Mbudge]

Flight One's BN-2 Islander seems to work well, might be some missing switch sounds but possibly there were a few silent ones with P3D v3, can't remember.

[fsafranek]

I scanned the thread and didn't see them mentioned so I will...

Ants Airplanes:

- Tecnam P92 Eaglet

For me the GPS doesn't work, and the wonderful noisy scuttle shake on take-off has gone away but still excellent

Default carriers along with 3rd party carriers

Finally tweeked the sim and Im really impressed with how well this runs. Amazing difference with 64bit.

[fsafranek]

Working:
...
Rafale M

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?

The F-16, Iris P-21 (and probably any Iris HUD), also any of Dino's HUDs all work. I know Iris is coded in xml. You probably could add it to the panel.cfg and get it to work

[blanston12]

I tested a few tonight.

Good:
Ants Tiger Moth
Golden Age DH.60 Moth
Golden Age Ryan B-5
All the default FSX aircraft.

[rvn817j]

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?)

[UnknownGuest12]

Hi
Reading about "Used the "xml" addon method."

Would someone be so kind and teach me about it?

Thanks

Sure. Take a look at my post on page 2 of "P3D Performance Tweaks and Tunes". I think it's my second post on that page. If you have more questions after that, I'll try to give you an answer or, at least, an example of how I do it. I'm no expert by any means.

[Penz]

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 and Harvey Norman Catalogue.
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.

Now that was useful, thanks. Downloaded v1.22 and all is fine.

Thanks for all your work Mark.
There are open Betas available form HiFi Simulations for both Active Sky and active Sky Cloud Art, both products that I was missing in v4.0
