I understand that "Prepar 3D 3.x and later" does not include p3dv4, correct?
I will wait for the P3Dv4 and the FSX-SE version (Witch is what i have installed now)

Great news. This update sounds very interesting.

Cheers,

Yes it is,
not yet compiled for V4, still on testing phase, V4 seems promising and they did not break a lot backward compatibility, which did not happen on DT FSW, backward compatibility is so compromised ( i.e. panels) that we don't believe to compile for x64 without rewrite it from the scratch, moreover DT did not has been clear yet about third-party developer, open SDK, etc.. so we will follow LM path for now.

...visible on F-104G I bought yesterday, and is in v3.4.18. Going to look at it and try and figure out what is wrong. Airplane is just black all over. Have not seen this before. Probably will go get the updated F-104S when I get the texture deal figured out.

***EDIT*** Actually....I'm not even finding the textures in the installed folder (other than the texture fallback and a .jpg for each variant). This is strange...

I remember that I had that problem too (a few years ago)! It´s their weird file structure. I remember that I found the solution in their forums.
Did you try to install a new paint or a new aircraft (fresh install)?

Hi Kent,
simply you did not download textures that are separatly distributed for practical reasons since are contained into an huge file.
Quoted from products details in SSW store:

NOTAM TO THE USERS:

The purchased and downloaded FRF-104G core files are only a part of the software we provide to you.
To complete the "ZIPPER" please download and install from HERE textures and liveries.

We split the installation in two files for your convenience and to speed up downloading process avoiding to clog the server since textures are contained int an huge file.

BTW:
please next time open a ticket on SSW Help Desk, we cannot assure to read this forum each day, help desk is the best and fastest way to get support.
cheers

A-ha! Thanks. TOTALLY missed that. I even looked on the SSW forum and didn't see anything. I will go and try and find the textures online.

That's for sure....I think I am just waiting on my activation code now, and that should be here within 48 hours according to their website. Took the airplane around the pattern...nice.

Hi Kent,
we did not receive the key request yet, it should been have done by the installer. Any problems during installation ?
Or may want try manual registration:

MISSED OR FAILED REGISTRATION

1. In this case is still possible register the model manually
   
   1. Run the simulator and load at least once our model
   2. Watch at the main FSX/P3D folder looking for a file which file name begins with sswks. and ends with .ssw (for those with file extension enabled), file name should be something like this:
      
      1. sswks.<your pc name>.<model name>.ssw
      2. Registration files are generated each time you load the airplane
      
      
   3. Send us that file at: info@simskunkworks.com together with PayPal transaction ID and order number
   4. If the file cannot be found contact us using "Help desk" menù.
