Aircraft compatibility in Prepar3D V4

[jeansy]

We just released the P3Dv4 version of our F-4B/N, along with a major update on our carrier technology.

I like the look of the upcoming battle group package, the DDGs have me sold

Here is mine Martyn.

Thanks Pat. It looks like we've tracked down the cause of the DC-8 50 to 70 CTD and the developer is working on it now.

With Henk's assistance we've tracked down the cause of the CTDs that occur when switching aircraft and exiting P3D. We'll need to update the installers for a variety of products and we'll be doing that ASAP.

Martyn, I managed to finally "trick" the P3Dv4 -50 to -70 DC-8 into loading onto my Win10 system last night (took two nights playing with installer compatibility settings...just won't launch) and it seems to be flying fine. When I managed to get the DC-8 -10 to -40 installer to finally launch (two nights of fiddling around also), there was no option to install into P3D v4...only radio buttons for install to v1, 2, or 3. So, glad to hear the installers will be fixed. Also glad to hear the CTD when switching planes will be fixed (has been happening since I reloaded the gorgeous Fokker F-27 into P3Dv4)...now if we could only get a service pack that included an external tanks option for the F27-200...grin...I know, ain't never gonna happen.

All good news from you, however.

This is not my experience either with Windows 10 or the installer which does indeed offer the P3D v4 option.
No tricks were required and I have to wonder if you have somehow been using the old installer version.

[ColoKent]

ncooper-- Now you've got me wondering. I didn't get a choice of installers...I logged into Just Flight, went to "my Account" and redownloaded...and attempted to launch them-- no choice of installers that I know of. I suspect the link in my account probably does point to the old (non-P3D v4) installer for the DC-8-10 to -40 series-- which is why I didn't get that option. When I finally did get the installer on the DC-8-50 to -70 series to acutally launch, it did give me a P3D V4 option. I would have thought that when JF announces "Updated to P3D v4", it would mean anyone who bought it can access the new installers. But maybe not...

Kent

UPDATE - Well I'll be DIPPED...I went back tonight to the JF site, logged in, and voila! There was an option for DC-8 -10 to -40 for P3D v4. Don't know if it was in response to my post, it was simply late going up, or if I was simply oblivious to it being there since release. Either way, thanks to the folks at JF.

I've finished updating the Sea Fury for P3D4. Along with updating the engine control gauge to 64 bit, I've also reworked the gun sight to function as a gyro gun sight with selectable target wing span and range, tweaked a couple of sound settings, and changed the material settings so reflections work allowing bare metal repaints. There are three new paint schemes in the new version, Burmese Air Force 1 Sqn, Cuban Air Force, and RAN 805NAS post Korea.
I'll be sending a free download link to everyone with the original version as soon as I can get the email addresses out of the system. For anyone else interested it's available at the link below.

Note the Burmese and Cuban aircraft weren't actually bare metal, which disappointed me when I found out!

[AussieMan]

Is this upgrade free to current owners of the Sea Fury or will it finish up joining the A2A hangar queens?

[speedy70]

Pat if you read what he says.He will be sending out emails for the FREE update------

Cheers Chris

After downloading the new versions today

Im finding the tristar is invisible both internal and external, only 2d panel views work

if I switch to another JF product they are semi invisible as well

if i switch to another non JF product then try another JF product they appear to work

but if I try the tristar again, i get nothing


please refer to the posted video, it maybe still uploading so please check back at later time

Thanks

Mr Martyn, what about the DC10HD package that was already updated to p3dv4? Will it need a new installer too? It´s not in your addon list above.
Thanks

no need i was able to resolve it

I only own the tristar not tristar pro package

owner operator error on my behalf, soz, i didnt release there was two versions

[Martyn]

The DC-10 HD doesn't use our gauge system so it doesn't require the same update, however it does use some gauges provided by other developers and we are looking into issues with some of those.

Thanks
Martyn

[flaviossa]

Thanks for the feedback mr. Martyn

Cerasim updates to v4

Lots of the UKMIL aircraft work fine - especially the helis do. Like the Puma and CH-47, they are no upmarket in the systems though... But visually they are great!

[jeansy]

A late post as ive been distracted by Miltons Havoc

the latest version of PTA for v4.1 has been released a few days ago

https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/5...-new-features/

[SpaceWeevil]

A few more from Carenado are now V4 compatible - sorry if this is already known..

• B200 King Air HD Series
• C90B King Air HD Series
• V35B Bonanza
• F33A Bonanza
• PA-28 181 Archer II

Nice to see the V35B Bonanza which I'm sure was originally only for FSX
