Prepar3D Version 1.4 Download

[ZEUS67]

I didnt get as far as you got Naismith.. I id a "clean" install ( uninstalled the old version from the programs control ) and, i dont have either Iris's or Lionhearts aircraft to select in the menu.. its like WTF?? I've got a dev license. does this mean i dont get the candy?? I'm confused and upset..
Pam

I also have a Devs license and I got both the Lionheart and the Iris aircraft. The Iris aircraft is a handful, almost requiring the entire length of the Norfolk runway to get into the air, accelerates like a turtle and gets into an incontrollable spin at the drop of a hat. I still have not tested Lionheart's aircraft. Too busy porting the A-7 and T-2 to Prepar3D, including creating installers and checking the modules.

I will upgrade the Corsair II with a working gun and perhaps a TV camera in cockpit.

Well, i make no claims on the T-6.. It was one of my first flight models, and Iris tweaked it after i turned it over to them.. If i can "ever" get the right T-6 into p3d i'll rework the fde for you ( wish they had done that to begin with,, grrr ) . since i have PW internal docs on the PT-6 i can even go so far as to rebuild the entire engine ( bolt by ever loving bolt ) and promise i'll do that for you folks.. Just give me a month or so as my dance sheet is still loaded ( pc-21, pc-9, Yak-130, SU-37 )..

[warchild]

I think i'm just gonna start with a clean wipe. Uninstall and delete everything P3D, then reinstall.. it sux, but i'm not trusting everything right now..
One of the issues ive been seeing, with the PC-21 directly and indirectly with the T-6, is that P3D is NOT fsx. The planes do not fly the same. I think that P3D offers a much broader range of programming possibilities, but it also enforces a greater amount of exactitude in that programming.. The SU-37 will be difficult..

The Mooney is under Mooney (the manufacturer) and is the 'Acclaim' model.

The Texan is under Beechcraft and is listed in there with the Baron and Kingair.

My rig has them when I loaded up the fresh install, no addons installed yet.

Interesting...I bought it, but hadn't reinstalled it since updating. Somehow it made its way back in 1.4, even though I deleted everything per the installation instructions. Oh well, saves me one thing I won't have to install now

KJB, I think if you did the uninstall, all the addons and DLL's and scenery that you had installed stay in that folder. But if you uninstalled 'everything' and deleted the remaining bits from the folder, then something went wrong or 'odd'. Has happened many times though that odd things in software occur.

They still have not addressed some fundamentals. It still boots up into a flight, no menu screen. Wx is the same albeit I use an external program for Wx, ATC pop up still solid. And frustratinglt the ALT Return to switch from windowed into full screen still does not work. Oh and it does not recognise SPAD for my Saitek panels.

I cannot see me using P3D as my main sim, so its back to trusty old FSX.
Naismith

Naismith, they never said they would be adding a startup page to the sim. Sorry to see you go.

[warchild]

ok, got the acclaim.. and i like it.. didnt think of looking under beechcraft. to me its always been a pilatus, though i did know of beechcraft licensing the T-6 from them.. just old habits and ways of thinking.. Thanks for that info Bill.. Much appreciated..
Pam

[warchild]

Naismith.. I also dont have a menu (no one does ) but i DID try the ALT-Enter, and it works on my machine.. Something is going on there on yours..

[luckydog]

The T-6 seems to be flying better now ( don't know what I did ) but I can't figure out how to get rid of the external fuel tanks ??!

[Shane Strong CYHZ]

the airport is a addon simaddons halifax i am tweeking for it though lol
I noticed with the planes that where hard to get in the air, that when i pushed my throttle forward all the way it did not do it in sim just 69%
and that my trim seems all over the place think i need to calabrate

[CG_1976]

Shane, do you have the web address for simaddons?? I heard they where working on CYWG?

Roger that Pam.

I had never heard of the Texan, only the Pilatus, so this was new to me as well.

yes we are working on cywg I have it on my drive I know he put in the new terminal we are working on CYYC and Edmonton too
sorry bit off topic

I'm not giving up on it, just pointing out a few annoyances which they have known about for ages and done nothing about. A biggy which I neglected to report was they have done nothing to incorporate TrackIR, which for me is huge.

The whole TrackIR fiasco is a "He Said, She Said" quarrel. LM doesn't want to use NaturalPoint's APIs and NP doesn't want to use SimConnect. In AVSIM they have found a way to activate TrackIR without using EZDock.

Nice! Glad they have it working now.

Thanks for the reference. I went to AVSIM, read back to the appropriate post, then promoted the "solution" to the "Tutorials" database.

Something is real wrong here. I just installed Prepar3D and she is performance wise acting worse then FSX.

Hmmm.....link isn't working?

Hmmm.....link isn't working?

I just tried it myself and it worked just fine using IE8...

I have not had time to try it but on some models with externals - if you set them up with 0 fuel - the tanks will not display. Perhaps it's the same on the T-6.

Hey CG,

That looks odd.

You know what I would do is re-download the package. If one of those packets was the wrong size, then you may have a bad download. They should be 3.9, 3.9, and I think 1.8 Gigs each. If they are slightly off, then they are missing data.

Also, did you 'totally' reinstall the package? It could be a legacy issue. You are supposed to delete (or rename) even the My Documents P3 sections when you do a pure, clean install. Make sure you did that also.

I am d/ling all three now and I am showing d/l sizes of 4.0. 4.0 and 1.9 dead.

Hi bill, I did a virgin install as my org install was destroyed on my old computer in the move to San Antonio. Prepar3D has never been on this computer. Checksums matched up. Part 3 although is reading 1.86. The first two read 3.99. Real stange no matter the settings I use Prepar3D goes pure crazy and spikes fly and my ac even looks like a wrecked car in a t-bone lol. this is all default vannilla and virgin on install.

Dang.... Document 'everything' and let the team know about this at the forum at P3.

One last thing. Try this. When you go to start the sim, right click on the icon and select 'run as Administrator' and see what happens.

Finally got 1.4 loaded. Now all it does is "Fatal Error" message me and crash! I can't even start to express how PO'd I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
