that's what I did, and the installer goes through the motions, but nothing appears in P3D....?
edit: AHA! New directory on D:, yes!

What I did get to work is Paul Domingues Bad Duck, although it produces a weird color smoke on startup...

Has anyone figured out how to get the Captain Sim C-130 to work in V4 yet? Thanks, NC

I've been keeping an eye out for this sort of thing and haven't seen any work around yet. I fact I read in one post that the C-130 has 32 bit dll's that will not allow use with P3Dv4. I would sure like to be shown to be wrong!
 
Yeah, I am kinda bummed about the lack of information from CaptainSim regarding their products compatibility efforts to P3Dv4. Seems like they are putting themselves out of the market.
 
How exactly do you recompile a gauge for 64-bit? I guess that you don't just select all the files and hit the magic 'recompile' button.

To be honest that's pretty much what I did for my stuff. However I think some add ons used undocumented hacks to achieve things which would make it much more complicated/impossible.
 
So a 64-bit Bucc is on the horizon?

But seriously, I guess the animations are a bigger issue for some planes, then.
 
For me, a lot of the time it simply becomes a challenge. It isn't that I just HAVE to have that particular addon installed/converted. But because I have problems installing it, THEN I keep on trying because I don't want to be "defeated"! NC

There's 16 .gau gauge files in the C-130 that are all 32 bit so unless Captain Sim decide to release an update its never going to work in V4 :(

Does all of this also apply to their B-52? I thought I had read the Stratofort was ok to run in P3Dv4, though have yet to try her.
 
The B-52 won't even work in P3Dv3! I tried it and ended up having to reinstall P3D. Captain Sim uses some weird coding in their stuff. I wouldn't put anything of theirs in P3Dv4 unless it specifically says that it is for P3Dv4.

Thanks for the timely advice. As someone that has literally spent a few weeks adding, removing and tweaking my install to finally get a very nice simulation visually and functionally, thanks you. I was tempted to just try to direct it to the proper directory but will certainly hold off till something comes about for both the C-130 and B-52.
 
look what I have flying in P3D4:

not all animations work perfectly, but I'm not unhappy
