There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Strange. It works for me - can anyone else confirm whether it’s working ok? Which sim version and whether you downloaded from the Google drive link above or flightsim.to.
That is MS2020 and I tried starting with the J variant. Maybe one of the parameters (priming, spinning up is too tight?). I did not try the start (spin) the engines without ignition, to simulate the nine blades.
In 2020 the tooltips seem to work better than 2024, and should show you the prime status and inertia starter speed (must be 12,000-16,000 RPM). I could also add this to the tablet but it's positioned such that it's hard to see while interacting with the starter and prime switches; I've no idea how to make it a movable tablet but it must be possible.
Normally I don't use the tooltips, while flying real world I don't have them either. But they could be a good help indeed!. Excellent news that you can use the Duckworks code. I think that with their mod the DC3 has the best simulated rotary engines next to the Flying Irons aircraft.
Sorry but I've got nothing tangible to fix that'll help your problem - so I don't expect anything will change for you in V19. It's confirmed as working in both 2020 and 2024 for others, maybe there's some conflict with another add-on in your system? I've run this at the same time as a whole plethora of other add-ons, but of course it could be some rogue combination.
Hi Brian, sometimes there's the "folder in the folder syndrome" when unzipping aircraft downloaded. Check the folder of the aircraft in your community folder. If you don't see the "manifest.json" file after opening the folder, but rather another folder, then that is what's happening. You just need to move that folder to the community folder and delete the firstnamed folder.
