All P3D Users,
The following are the steps for setting up P3D & Duenna for the upcoming MacRobertson 2014 race. These instructions will be included in the next rules release in the appendix section(s).
P3D SETUP
1. Setup the P3D realism dialog as shown in the picture below. During testing it was found that changes to the dialog may not stick on the first time. It would be a good idea to re-open the realism dialog after it has been closed the first time to double check and confirm that the settings indeed reflect what is required.
2. After confirmation of the settings restart P3D.
3. From this point it may be a good idea not to touch these settings until after your participation in the race. Note - Duenna will not reflect these settings. It will still show a Red Realism box and a Red or Yellow Real-WX box. Disregard any warnings that may pop up from Duenna when started.
DUENNA SETUP
1. In the Duenna settings dialog as shown in the picture below, highlighted in red, (disregard other settings as shown, it's just an example) enter the path to prepare3d.cfg into the FS9.CFG (when non-std) text field. The paths, as an example, are shown below and reflect the Windows 7 operating system. Other operating systems may vary. Replace the red USER NAME part of the path with the user name of the account used for P3D. Verify that the path to prepare3d.cfg is correct by using Windows Explorer.
2. Save settingsCode:Prepar3D v1 = C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D\prepare3d.cfg Prepar3D v2 = C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\prepare3d.cfg
3. Exit Duenna
4. Restart Duenna when ready to use. From this point it may be a good idea not to touch these settings until after your participation in the race.
DUENNA USAGE
Duenna will still show a Red Realism box and a Red or Yellow Real-WX box when started. Disregard (ignore/close) any warnings that may pop up. Use Duenna as normal for the flight. After the flight, and as long there were no other discrepancies, Duenna will still show an "Invalid" flight. Disregard this and upload the .txt & .jpg as required by the rules. The fs-duenna.com tracking page will show the flight as "ok/errors". The MacRobertson race tracking page will also show on their "legs" subpage that the flight was invalid. It is up to Ms. Nellie and the Race Committee to disseminate the data that was uploaded and manually verify the leg.
