EDIT: Also I must point out that the aircraft that I have listed as working in P3D V4 have problems with the click sounds on the switches. This would indicate a problem with a sound.dll somewhere. But at the moment it is something I can live with. One thing I did notice is that the engine sounds change from the VC to external views. Externally the sounds are louder than when in the VC.

I finally got it downloaded, with FreeDownloadManager, but it won't install to P3Dv4. Not even available in choices. It did install to V3, altho I had installer pointed to v4. But I already had it installed in V3. There are some new items in the gauges folder in v3, but not sure what needed in v4.

Virtavia Sh3 Seaking

I stand corrected, and the new version works in v4

However, please read

The Just Flight R-44 chopper works. All the click spots and switches function.

I bought some of my Alabeo aircraft via PC Aviator and my download link (which functions OK) has an updated version of the C404 Titan for Prepar3D v4!

With the proper lines added to dll.xml, the load configurator works on Razbam A-7s. Tanks need to be de-fuelled before they can be removed and weight needs to be added manually for the added stored.

You mean these lines:

<launch.addon>
<name>A7 Ordnance Weight Manager</name>
<disabled>False</disabled>
<manualload>False</manualload>
<path>D:\P3D Addons\Addon Modules\A7_Ordnance_Mngr.dll</path>
<dllstartname>module_init</dllstartname>
<dllstopname>module_deinit</dllstopname>
</launch.addon>

I only see two external tanks, I assume you mean empty them? And can you tell me where you find the station weights? Thanks in advance.

**docjohnson** · June 25th, 2017, 17:41

Never mind, I tinkered with it and figured it out. Thanks for pointing this out.

actv/stdby switch working with HF1.

**Mbudge** · June 27th, 2017, 13:02

Flight One's BN-2 Islander seems to work well, might be some missing switch sounds but possibly there were a few silent ones with P3D v3, can't remember.

I scanned the thread and didn't see them mentioned so I will...

For me the GPS doesn't work, and the wonderful noisy scuttle shake on take-off has gone away

but still excellent

Just got email notice from Alabeo that the Staggerwing and Waco are available for P3Dv4 installation with redownload (plus new serial number) . A couple of my favorites

**Javis** · June 29th, 2017, 16:22

Mine too!

And no flickering installation boxes anymore thanks to Rick's tip !

I went back and redownloaded the C-195. Went right through, quick download and flawless installation. Same with all the others I have, including those I purchased from PC Aviator. Had to repurchase the ones from PC Aviator, using the coupon in the email the price is zero, but it is necessary to get the updated file. All installations went flawlessly.

Good news, Winch X works in P3Dv4 (I know, it's not an aircraft, but it's a big deal to me). Bad news, the Iris Vulcan causes a CTD every time I try to load it, rather strange I can't figure out why it would do that.

Ian

**Mach3DS** · July 1st, 2017, 11:15

I wish Milviz would redo the Vulcan and release it as P3Dv4 material....that bird is awesome. With Tacpack would be a huge winner and combined with their USAF Cold War and Vietnam aircraft and Dave Rowberry's EE Lightnings, and Glowing heats A-12 you've got yourself a real bunch of NATO aircraft with teeth!! Talk about cool!

**Mbudge** · July 3rd, 2017, 00:16

I'd very much like my IRIS Vulcan back but IRIS don't seem to be saying very much at the moment, their facebook page seems to have stopped being updated near the end of April. Lionheart are quiet too, I hope both are temporary glitches.

I can't understand why it causes a CTD. There are no exe or dll entries so you wouldn't expect any problems.

Ian

**spatialpro** · July 3rd, 2017, 03:12

Same for me too... CTD every time. Sometimes it gets as far as showing the Vulcan in the preview window, others not.

The problem is caused by something in the B2.air file, when I tested with an .air file from another add on, the Vulcan loaded fine, I could successfully complete the complex start up procedure and fly the beast.

The 1st thing I noticed when I opened the B2.air file in AirEd is that it has lots of obsolete FS2002/FS2004 legacy records. I attached a fixed version of the B2.air file to this post, I did not have time to test it thoroughly so if you find issues please post your feedback.
