Razbam AV-8 in P3D

[ejoiner]

Has anybody been able to get the razbam AV-8 to work in P3D? Such a great aircraft and I cant get it to work properly. Needs a new FM for P3D.

It works fine for me.
I'm using the AV8B without issues. The only thing needed to make it work is to add the dlls inside the DLL.xml file, because the FSX installer is not able to do that properly.

Can you explain? I dont know what you are talking about.

Sorry.

The installer was made for FSX only.
It is supposed to move the Harrier files into the destination folder, and to add some new module to the DLL.xml file of the sim.
When installing the Harrier to P3D, we can of course specify the P3D destination folder and the files will be installed in the right place. However, the install program will not be able to find the DLL.xml of P3D to add the lines inside, so this has to be done manually.
You have to edit the DLL.xml of P3D to add the following lines:

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>RAZBAM AV-8B Harrier Control Manager</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>G:\Prepar3D v3\Addon Modules\RZAV8BCM.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>

Of course, you need to alter the "Path" line so that it matches your P3D location on your computer

Estonia Migration tool. So far 've only had 2 instances where I had to add a simple entry into either the (exe.dll or XML.dll). One was for AICarriers and the other was CS C-130 Pro pack.

Another minor issue was with Milviz MD-530F. It requires using the run in 'Legacy mode' option with the EMT tool.
