Milviz F-86 issues

A thread dedicated to the F86, mostly in P3Dv5Works for some but for me I can only Ctrl-E start it, and only if another aircraft has started firstAnd most of the switches are immoveable, just a couple flip and rotaries do twist.A cold-dark start needs the external power from the shift-2 menuShift 2 loads Milviz_F86_ACM.dll which fails (or doesn't display anything)Shift 3 works ok to loads Checklist.cab (it's just an XML gauge)So I gave up and reinstalled P3Dv4.5 .... and the works fine, installed from the same D/L, not even as admin (forgot).Shift-2 works, GPU arrives, switches flick and click, engine starts :)Milviz_F86_ACM.dll installed into v4 is a different size to that installed into v5, so I copied the v4 DLL into v5, and now shift-2 works :)But switches still not clickable...I realise some people have it working in v5, so it's either something I've not done or done wrong (have read the manual :) )
 
So .... deleting the whole Milviz_F86 folder from Simobjects (not uninstalling) and copying the complete P3Dv4 version into P3Dv5 works perfectly, clickable, startable and all DLLs work properly.

I suspect that doing an install where the installer doesn't find the sim but allows entering the path manually might install the wrong components.

That's pretty much the way I did it however, I tried to place all the files in the ADDON folder, it worked except for the SHIFT +2 start cart popup screen which
was a small black screen. If there was a way to correct that, I would of left it in the Addon folder.

I had the same problem and the only way I found to fix it was to put it in the main P3D folders.
I didn't reinstall it, I just drag and dropped it to the appropriate folders and the Shift 2 window started working.

Which way?
For me copying the complete P3Dv4 version into P3Dv5 works perfectly and i get the shift-2 GPU
If you have copied the DLL from the .Exe using 7Zip then you might have got the 32bit version (they have identical names) which won't work in V5.
I don't remember a folder called Addon?
