I’ve had their P3D ver 3 Phantoms for ages. But I hated having to rebind every control at each update. And even then I’d have inputs not recognized. And as said, the FM felt odd. Models were exceptional.
Then the update to P3D ver 4. I couldnt do it all over again and rebuy everything. So I stayed with ver.3 of everything.
The T-38… I’ve bought nearly each version and just didnt see that much of an increase to warrant the cost. I’ll pass on the Charlie
Looks like Roland Laborie has updated and released a P3D v4 version of his really cool Airbus A400M. This was one of the first aircraft I wrote about for Mudspike four years (!) ago:
Keep in mind it is more like an A400M “experience” rather than a study level simulation of the actual A400M. I found it very entertaining though, and will likely pick it up again!
Having exited those a bunch in skydiving, love me some turbo Porter. They really can carry what you shove through the doors. That wide sliding door on the right side is really handy for jumpers. Built like tanks. Must be fun to fly. Wish it were for XP
FlightBeam PDX (Portland, OR) airport looks fantastic…and is on sale for 30% off ($20.99). Perhaps still a bit rich for my blood…I’m more of a $15 guy…but it does look nice and is the area of Mudspike Cargo operations… Only on sale until June 10.
FWIW - I did put this in my cart, downloaded it, but when I enter my serial number they gave me, it doesn’t work. So YMMV… Might try it again tomorrow and see if it will accept the serial.
I’ve got a problem with my P3D that I’m hoping someone smart can help me pin point.
Several of my aircraft models (default and 3rd party) show up with parts of the interior showing through the outer skin.
I don’t think you usually have to reload all the payware aircraft and scenery. I think there is a P3D client file you can run to just install the base exe and not have to mess with all of the other stuff. These instructions might have the answer:
If anyone is using the latest builds of both P3Dv4.5 and Flight1 GTN Complete, they don’t play well together. After spending way too many hours troubleshooting this, a user in their support forum found a quick fix by setting the gauge to legacy mode, as detailed in the GTN manual. Just search the manual for legacy, and you’ll be dancing.
There is also a mod to substitute the GTN 750 for the G1000 MPD in Carenado’s DA62. Why do this? Because using the Carenado G1000 will have you feeling like you are wrestling snakes in the cockpit, while getting you lost or killed at the same time. But dropping in the GTN750 of in front of the FO will bring you back to enjoying what is a pretty slick aircraft.
This is a nice looking scenery - albeit small - EGJA Alderney Airport for FSX and P3D. Only about $5 through ORBX… Of course with MSFS2020 coming…who knows if any of this will be relevant in the future. I suspect it will be though…
Interesting… Citation 560XL released for FSX/P3D. I have a little time in the XL. The 560XL was the next version beyond the 560 I fly. It has the same wing, but a bigger cabin, bigger engines. Similar avionics and cockpit though. I’ll definitely be picking this one up.
