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.

I have the same problem
Try the fix I just posted above please.
Question, does P3D 2.5 support DXT3 textures?

Just tried it with no luck. Not sure about DXT3 but it does use DXT5 textures (see photo)

@Gregory Paul @thefrog: Well, there are a few DXT3 textures in teh folders. Let me package up replacements for them and we shall try again.

@Gregory Paul @thefrog: The attached fix applies to all. It may not correct the P3D v2.5 issue but it fixes other minor issues, replaces 3 DXT3 textures, and adds a missing gauge.
Let me know if this helps you.
EDIT: Just FYI, we did not beta test in P3D other than quick tests in 2.4 as we do not have P3D. That is why we advertised only for FSX.
EDIT2: Found 2 more DXT3 textures; updated the attached, and again found a small texture that was not included. Just looking for needles in haystacks now.

I hope the rest of those interested in the Mallard TP for FSX are not put off by the P3D 2.5 issues we have been talking about.
We have no reported FSX issues at this time. We did extensive testing in FSX.
Although the Mallard turboprop was not released for P3D, some seem to be running it okay with the expected clickability issues.
This 2.5 issue may not be correctable since we have no way of testing in P3D, but I thought I would give it the old college try to try to help.

Just curious if P3D 2.5 has these gauges in the gauge folder:
1) Bendix_King_Radio.dll
2) Beech_Baron cab/zip file
1) Bendix_King_Radio.dll
2) Beech_Baron cab/zip file
P3Dv3 has both of them, so I assume they would also be in P3Dv2.5. That said, I have yet to try this model in P3D - when I have some time off later this week, I'll see how it works for me.
Thank you for the Turbo Mallard. It's got a bit lost amidst the C-47 V3 fanfare, but its a valuable and very welcome addition. Well done to all involved.
Thank you Paul K. and @thefrog, that eliminates one possibility for the 2.5 issue.
No problem re: release coincidence with the c-47 v3; I knew we both were about to do this but I was ready so bring it on. LOL The more, the merrier.
Yes, of course. Nigel expects to have it out by end of week.
Great, Thanks!
Do you have a folder inside a folder by chance? When it installs to your temp folder, it builds a second folder inside with the aircraft file folders. I've caught myself on occasion just dragging the temp folder into the "Airplanes" folder and then wondering why it doesn't show, lol.I don't know what is going on but I have tried to install this bird 100 times into my FSX, it doesn't show up in the hanger.
Ok, when you download the file from the downloads section and unzip it, you'll find an installer. When you double click that to run it, it will tell you that it is not a self installer and that you need to make a "Temp" folder and install to that. . .then move the contents of that folder into FSX. If it's done that way, there is no reason to have an "exe folder" that doesn't work. . .or an "effects folder" that doesn't exist. Actually I don't even know how you would get those errors really. Don't try to point it to FSX as you would normally, just follow the instructions given when the installer starts. You should have no problems then.
