Does it work in P3D?

Does it work in P3D?

kiki, I do not have P3D but the native conversions are done to FSXA. Maybe someone else can speak to this question.

 

[ToniJH]

Yes, all works fine in latest version of P3D 3.4

Whoow, just re-installed the 520 en 560.... I really missed out on them in FSX-SE ☺

Thanks a lot!

I have a few more minor tweaks to complete and it should be ready for upload later today (GMT -7 here).

Superb! Thanks Milton. Really enjoying this (latest) Commander-fest.

Kudos to you, Milton.

Another in a long line of splendid models. Was a treat to "re-engage" into FSX after a long absence by flying this lovely gem.

Here's to lots of downloads and repaints.

Many "old" memories came back to life last night when I installed and took up for a flight. Thanks Milton! Spend hundreds of hours in the 500 in FS9. I even had modified the panel with a bunch of RXP gauges. It was my "go to".

Looking forward to the 680 soon.
