Aircraft compatibility in Prepar3D V4

Area51 Dragon Lady

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?)

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.

Good news for Bush Pilot too. FR Super Cub Ultra (1.6) works well in P3Dv4 (only in slew mode I see something strange when You move but its not very important).

Great news! Time to install on of my favorites!

I wish something could be done about this milky glass though. The only thing that I do not like about this model.
 
Does anyone else have the DHC-1 Chipmunk developed by Aeroplane Heaven and published by Just Flight? I pointed the installation to my v4 folder, but despite no apparent problems with the install the aircraft is invisible in the sim. I've tried deleting and reinstalling but get the same problem. Does anyone else?

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.
 
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".
 
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
 
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.

Hi Airtrooper

Do you know, if JF/AH have any plans to open their older products for P3D V4?

I kind of like that Chipmunk :encouragement:

You mean these lines:

<launch.addon>
<name>A7 Ordnance Weight Manager</name>
<disabled>False</disabled>
<manualload>False</manualload>
<path>D:\P3D Addons\Addon Modules\A7_Ordnance_Mngr.dll</path>
<dllstartname>module_init</dllstartname>
<dllstopname>module_deinit</dllstopname>
</launch.addon>

I only see two external tanks, I assume you mean empty them? And can you tell me where you find the station weights? Thanks in advance.

You posted this a month or so ago. Care to share exactly what you found that made it work? I cannot get my panel to come up. Otherwise, all is working well.

Thanks.

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...

We're currently looking into an issue with the HS-748 update which causes the aircraft to be partially invisible. We should have a fix available shortly.

EDIT: This issue should now be fixed. Please download the latest installer from your Just Flight account.

Thanks

Aerosoft's fab Wilga has been updated for V4, a free update for existing owners. The more radials we can get into P3D the better as far as I'm concerned! Regards, Mark
 
And speaking of Aerosoft, radial engines and Stol, has anyone noticed that they've announced an AN-2, v4 inc? Aerosoft can take their time getting products out but the VC looks well advanced. I miss my cranky, creaky old Sibwings model. Regards, Mark
