Aircraft Compatibility thread for P3D V5

[keithb77]

Skunkworks have released V5 versions of the Fiat G-91 and F-104G and S, as separate V5 models.

Skunkworks have released V5 versions of the Fiat G-91 and F-104G and S, as separate V5 models.

Anyone know if there are changes besides the installer? I just bought the P3D F-104G a couple of weeks ago (for money, about a week before the giveaway) and haven't even had time to install it yet. Given the low low 10 euro price, I could buy it again if needed for V5, but wondering if there are actual differences or if V4 works okay in V5.

The G-91 had a PBR update available for V4.5, so I'm thinking that might look a bit odd in V5, but the aircraft itself should work fine. As far as I know, none of the F-104's were ever given PBR, so they should work fine "as is".

Since SSW installers use a .dll for the copy protection stuff, I have no idea whether anything in V5 breaks that, but I'd think it should work.

[fsafranek]

It's not an aircraft but if you like Navy types then you have probably used AI Carriers. The .Net version works fine in P3Dv5.

So does the RFN Carrier Gauge and RFN Radar.

And of course their new F-8E(FN)/J Crusader.

The DLL is still there but apparently no need for the keyless installer step and no green message at runtime.
I have the G91 and 104G (both work OK in P3Dv5, not got the menu interaction working yet) so bought the 104S - compared to the P3Dv4.5 104G there is little difference and most of the files in the _new_ 104S are _very_ old.
If it's just an installer change then it's odd to have a new model, but they have been very generous lately so not worrying too much...but right now wouldn't buy a V5 aircraft if I had the V4.5 version.

No problem for me with A2A Accu Feel v2 64bits in P3Dv5.

Nigel Richard's AVRO 621, converted to FSX Native by Bluebear works great in v5. I'm sure the other models would, also.

[YoYo]

Spad.next works also: https://www.spadnext.com/forum/viewt...hp?f=5&t=50767
I did new DLL file like it was in this topic. Now its an update of LVAR bridge also for v5.

[Spad54]

All GAS models are compatible with V5. That said creating an installer for it using Install Creator Pro is causing an issue with erroring out whereas it does not for V4. If installing for V5 best to create a temp file extract the bits to that and manually add to V5 folders.

[evvatc]

For those of you that have been able to get the Aerosoft F-14 installed to v5. Has anyone had an issue with departing a carrier, either Javier's Nimitz or the Kitty Hawk?

I can get hooked to the catapult and start the cat shot, but at the end of stroke the Tomcat immediately goes to the top of the water and continues moving forward. I am unable to rotate or pitch up to climb. To see if it was carrier related or aircraft, I tried Dino's T45 and was able to depart normally.

Anyone else seeing this or have an idea on how to fix it?

Thanks,
Bill

All Cerasim helicopters work in v5.

[ColoKent]

MILVIZ just announced their T-38A ADV Redux is now V5 compatible through a free MVAMS update...

The IRIS C-27 Spartan works in v5. Although I didn't actually get to fly it. After I loaded it up in the sim the engines stopped, and I forgot how to get them started again (I haven't flown this plane in a long time) LoL.

Working through reinstall of aircraft from FSXA into P3DV5.

These are all working for me so far :

JBK's Martin M130, Short S23, S30, Vickers Viscount 700 and 800.
AH Lancaster, MkV Spitfire, BAC 1-11, HS-748, VC-10 (Some minor issues), DC6A/B/Cargo, Mosquito, Comet 4
A2A - Constellation L049, Spitfire Mk1 (The old WoA version)
Real Air Spitfire MK 9.
Milton Schupe's - Lodestar, Dash 7
Flight Replicas - All of them so far (DC4, Boomerang, Piper Cub, P40, Heron, Liberator)
FSAddons - Anson, Bristol Freighter, Hudson
George Diemer's - Sikorsky S42, S43

Manfred Jahn's - C47, B50, B97, Constellation 1049G
Coolsky - DC9-30
Aerosoft DC-8-50
CLS DC-10 HD

Henrik Nielsens Global AI Ship Traffic V2 (After many dramas with the xml parsing at last got it to point to the scenery and is up and working beautifully).

My only comment so far - the dynamic lighting makes for very dark cockpits (sometimes or most times) but other time of day can be fine (depends on the cockpit window size it seems). The plain aluminium always has a grey-blue look but dynamic reflections work and any white colour always seems to be off white (but ok).

I guess I am really impressed the way P3DV5 transforms even old models such as the JBK Viscount VC - hard to believe this was the same aircraft from FSX especially the VC they go across really well with added depth and shading - amazing actually.

And yep it is goodbye FSX - sure few old favourites missing but time will tell. (Capt Sim you got to get the 707 and 727 into the modern era).

Now onto to the scenery addons!

Hello guys,
Is there any Caribou compatible to P3dv5.2?
Would the Virtavia work?
Thanks

[BendyFlyer]

aguiar - not that I am aware of. Had it in FSX but it would not install into P3DV5.

[blaunarwal]

Hi BendyFlyer and Aguilar

Just a few days ago I bought the T-34C FSX and installed it in P3D5.2. I works without any problem. I use most of my FSX Virtavia planes in P3D5.2. The only one I know that needed an upgrade was the Seaking helicopter.

BendyFlyer, can't you try it for us in P3D5.2? If I remember correctly, you can specify any path during installation and then copy the files into P3D. I'm pretty sure it will run but it doesn't look contemporary I fear.

Regards

Dan

P.S. Best price for these older products you get a PCAviator. Check October sales Virtavia.

Thanks, I was afraid of that.

This rework of a Frat Bros CT4 turned up at SimAviation recently. Not strictly a CT4B but the 300 HP NZ version. Credible effort, a little rough here and there but a bit of fun! This is the old Victa Airtourer aka CT4 used by the RAAF for basic pilot training for nearly 50 years. Where else but Tamworth!

[blaunarwal]

Did someone try the Virtavia F-111 Aardvark for FSX in P3D5?

[icycle]

Seems to be working fine, at least for me. Now if I could just figure out how to Tac-Pack it.....

This bird seems to be erased from their (IRIS) inventory. But it works fine in P3D5.3



Bought it back in 2016 and have some found some nice paint jobs.

Also the cockpit does its job



Why was this abandoned?

[gray eagle]

Like the other Devs of late, I suspect it was abandoned for MSFS 2020 (mo' money bro $$$)

Craig Richardson's delightful little Corby Starlet. Australian designed lighty (really an ultralight by todays standards) if you wanted one you had to build it yourself. The used to have VW 4 cyl engines in them. You get the basics but for a simple ultralight to check out the scenery or just have a bit of fun. Cannot fault it anyway. This one was an FSX aeroplane and turned up as a P3DV5 model and available at Rickoo.

[blaunarwal]

A plane for FSX seen here in P3D5.3 HF2. Only mod necessary is to change "hydraulic_system_scalar = 0.0" inside the brake section. Great plane for VFR. There are several types in this package with older GPS and you have to watch engine temperature and rpms.
Scene is in the area of Chambéry, France, near Geneva. Textures are from ORBX Global and Terra Emergence Project https://aleclercqcreations.blogspot....e-project.html
The texture of the plane is HB-KFV, think I got from Aerosoft Forum.

And here the rather old fashioned cockpit. There are more modern ones in the package
