My Alabeo Staggerwing just wants to dive into the ground though..

another one that works: Paul's lovely Grumman (bad) Duck)

and the Real Air Spit:

and one that doesn't like the PBR:

Flight Replicas collection of 'Cubs' runs really well. Nice one Mike.

And as usual, the RealAir Duke is as good as ever!

Has anyone figured out if there's actually a difference in the aircraft for the Sim Skunk Works V5 installers, or is it just a new installer that looks for the P3d V5 directory by default? Trying to figure out if I need to re-purchase my SSW stuff, or if I can just tell the old installers to go to the new directory.

My Staggerwing did that awhile back when they did some kind of upgrade in P3D. I think it was the v4.5 from 4.4. I redownloaded it, and it fixed the problem. It was strictly elevator control. Haven't loaded in v5 yet.

I have certainly done this with quite a few of my items -- the SSW F-4 and allied products, as an example.
All you have to do is copy the appropriate entries in "add-ons.cfg". Renumber them, but don't change where they're pointing. This is only for those items you have external to the sim.
Those items you've installed in the sim proper will have to be moved the hard way, or re-installed.

Some products do have a dedicated P3Dv5 version (the Bookmark J35J Draken, for example), so you'd need to check/change if required.

I'm afraid I can't say if the Zipper/G-91, etc are new versions. I haven't a clue.

Piglet's Skyraiders work rather well with exception of a couple of texture anomalies the only seem (so far) to be confined to the USAF versions underwing stores. The Navy AD seems fine.

Another working as usual one of Nigel's AVRO collection, the civilian PWS.

I've bought the Tornado, there are very few files in the airplane folder that changed in 2020 - 3 VBS install scripts, 2 DLLs (panavia.dll and pa200radar.dll) and the default profile...

Any joy with the Tweet, I have tried to install it but it cannot pick up the P3D.exe.

 

[noddy]

The DC Design F/A-18 now comes with a P3D V5 Installer.

 

[ColoKent]

Has anyone tried the Milviz F-100D in V5 with success? I know their "ADV" aircraft are all hard broke...and I suspect the F-100D, although not labled as "ADV" is probably the same...but just wondered if by chance anyone tried and succeeded with it.

Kent

 

[noddy]

Yep the F-100 is not working for me nor is the T-38.

 

[noddy]

The Just Flight Meteor is working.

 

[ColoKent]

The Just Flight Meteor is working.

Hilarious you would bring that up...since I am hankering for my T-38A ADV Redux too....and I downloaded and installed the Meteor last night. The only thing I hate is that the Meteor skins are now shiny in V5.

The RAZBAM TacPack A-7 SLUF seems to work -- even if we have to wait for TacPack.

Noddy, just installed the Milviz F-100 straight into P3D v5. Works perfectly. Great flight with all the gauges, bells and whistles working. Maybe give it another try. Great aircraft.
