P3D & FSX Products

@Russ said in 747-200/300 HD FSX from CLS:

There is a F-Lite version for existing owners of this 747-200/300 (US$ 14.99). Would it help to fix this problem. It seems to be the virtual cockpit that fails first and then the scenery deteriorate after. At the end the whole A/C disapear and the screen is flashing. Don't have this problem with any other of my collection.

As I said, you really need to contact Just Flight support. What you describe is a classic graphics card issue, but they should be able to provide more accurate assistance.

followed advise and logged issue with JF support on January 9, 2021 and have had no response.

I also own the CS L101 for P3Dv5 and have no issues with lighting, so cannot be a P3D issue at all.

Hi Craig

Just to let you know that I've managed to solve this issue. There's a video on Youtube which explains how to install PMDG v4 aircraft into P3D v5, by modifying and creating certain keys in the Windows registry. This also works for installing any P3D v4 add-ons into v5. Basically, it updates the registry to read that P3D v4 is installed, but at the P3D v5 installation path. It's not too complicated and doesn't change the P3D v5 installation. However, the instructions in the video have to be closely followed. The video can be found at

have the same issue - how can the cockpit lighting made brighter, tried all settings in HDR and cockpit still very dark.

@PeteFly82 G'day Pete,

I think so. Both levers are approximately in the centre and if I hover the mouse over them, it shows "Open".

I've got a work-around at the moment by loading another twin prop aircraft, starting the engines and then loading the HS 748 over the top of it. I can then set the Propliner to a Cold and Dark state and save the scenario and it starts just fine. I'm going to guess that my original problem was something to do with a not-quite-right panel state.

Now if I could only figure out how to open the cargo door and extend the rear air stairs! All I can manage right now is toggling the rear pax door. Pressing Shift-E and adding "2" or "3" doesn't seem to work for me. Unless I'm doing that wrong somehow!

Cheers mate

I can reproduce this problem in a completely different model. By accident I was trying it out in P3D and switched on the landing lights, hey presto green cockpit and outside light. So it has something to do with lights or shaders or both and their interaction - changing the effects for lighting from shockwave to normal fx did minimise it but not completely. Guess we shall see what the developers come up with.

Hi,

We've just received the paintkit from the developers so we're in the process of adding a download link in our support page: https://support.justflight.com/en/support/home

If you search for the FK131 in an hour or two (or perhaps tomorrow) it should be there available for downloading.

Thanks,

Simon

Good idea, pls dont mix German with English text in this plane. German only will be fine.

Hi Old John,

FSX Steam Edition with Windows 64

I have been flying the Fokker F27 since the end of August 2020 and have never had a problem with the ignitors not working individually.

For the Auto Pilot Trim switch I have never used as I like to watch the "Primary Displays" when making any changes so use buttons on my Joystick. Having said that I have had problems with the pitch, when descending at approximately 1,000 ft/min with the "Airspeed" hold on in the Autopilot, suddenly for no apparent reason the plane will go into a steep dive followed by a steep climb and carry on doing this until I switch off the Autopilot and regain control. I did contact Just Flights support team who tried to replicate it but couldn't so have put it down to my piloting.

Hi Derek.
Thanks for the recommendations. The first of the 2 is probably the best at least it got me flying the S340. But I still think Carenado's PDF files are not as good as the ones with Just Flight's aircraft. I also wonder why they can't put check lists on the kneeboard as this would make it flyable in VR.

Thanks Ray, I'll try that and see what happens

@North_Star Hi.
Have you got the navigraph main data update from navigraph , if so then you flight plan has to be entered manually via the CDU , as per the manual , which can be found in FSX under Carenado its in the first PDF page 5 is the start , it is not a very friendly CDU and is a bit quirky , its a while since i last flew this aircraft , the systems dont work fully as they should , and it does take a bit of getting used to , and watch you CG very carfully as its twitchy in pitch .
regards alan cottrill.

Hi Alan

I've got this running in P3Dv4.5

The parkingbrake leaver is to the right when brakes are on (I don't know if this is correct or not).

Undercarriage lever is down when undercarriage down

Engine start buttons don't seem to stick

A white mark would be useful, tool tips does say which is selected (1,2 or off), but I imagine some don't like that being on for immersion reasons.

Doesn't seem to be a hole in the wing on the p3d model

I remember having this problem before. I think it was something to do with locking the two fuel cocks (with the middle mouse click) after turning to number 2 tanks. I was using a mouse with a fancy middle button and I could never start the engines (this was back when I was using FSX:SE with the Lancaster). I borrowed a really cheap standard mouse and the middle click on that would activate the cocks. It's hard to know if that will be the problem for you as there doesn't seem to be any sound or visual indicator that the cocks are locked, which would be helpful.
I've just tried 3 different mice in p3dv4 (including the one I used to have problems with) and they all seem to work (pressing manual start and then trying to start up), but can't say whether that is due to p3d or something else as I have a different system entirely now.
I remember a post on the old forum having similar issues with the middle click of the cocks [http://forum.justflight.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=32497&title=ah-lancaster-cold-start-12-port-wont-start](link url)
If your props are turning, but the engines aren't catching it might be that.

7-10 - I haven't tried to use the autopilot or fuel system or guns.

Hope that's of some help.
