C172 Trainer for Prepar3d v3

Post by Clego »

Couple of month ago, I both the C172 Trainer airplane for my Prepar3d v3 sim, and still now is imposible for me to obtain that the this airplan work. The hangar maintanance did not work, and the Saitek Pro Yoke and Pedals also don´t work for this plane (work for all the others Prepar3d planes). Also if I try to start up the plane using the C+E keyboards, the engine thas not start.
Of course I´m new in Sim, so please be patient with your explanation/ answered.
many thanks in advance.

Go ahead and install simconnect, reboot your computer and you should be all set.


P3D - Installed but nothing works and all is broken!?

P3DV2 sometimes wont install the required simconnect files. No worries though as they are provided by Lockheed in the following directory;
\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK\retail\lib
Flight Simmer since 1983. PP ASEL IR Tailwheel
N28021 1979 Super Viking 17-30A

Clego - just to chime in as well, I've borrowed the image below from from forum member "Poppet", but this is what you should be doing to install SimConnect...

Thanks,
