After some initial problems flying the C172 in P3D2.1. I gave it another shot in 2.2 and am happy to report that all is well. Gone are the FPS issues, inexplicable broken aircraft parts, etc.
Still problematic, but minor are the beacon not showing, the weak Landing/Taxi lights, the absence of internal light in the digital clock/amp meter and the simplified look of the GNS400.
The important thing is that it is operational. The essentials are OK.
Just starting on a world tour from CYBW going East. With FTX Global just installed, I am planning a great virtual trip around the world which will compensate for my lack of vacations this year...
Just happy to be back with the C172R

Prepar3d V2.2 is ready to receive all the developers attention! It's a beautiful sim, running very efficiently!

Hello,
the 172 has worked all the time in 2.1, though if you updated you may have needed a reinstall like most P3D customers.
The clock isn't illuminated as its not in the real test aircraft we flew. For the lights if you install the latest core update you will get options for which lights to use. The beacon etc is unfortunately a P3D issue with effects. But I a quick reload in flight should fix that one for you.
thanks,
Lewis - A2A

Re: P3D2.2 combo winner with C172R
Do yall have any P3d 2.2 "tweak" suggestions? Or at least a place to look? I haven't spent the time with it that I need to... primarily due to the lack of RXP. I'd like to have a nice VFR experience though!
Cheers!
Bud

The light option I chose was the "recommended option" which is obviously not the right one. Can I just re-install the core update whitout uninstall it first?
Thank you kindly.

The beauty of v2.2 is that it doesn't need tweaks. Best is to run it 'right out the box', so start with the LM default settings. Then you can 'tweak' it by changing the settings in the sim's 'display menu'. The cloud and terrain shadow are the heaviest for older graphic cards (GPU's), if you are looking for performance improvements. Also, do not stare at the fps counter all the time, but instead turn it off and enjoy the smooth ride in P3D .

yes you can just re-run the update. The lights options are the classic lights or the new type that many developers use. Unfortunately the new lights have a downside of causing VC blackouts in which all click-spots are lost at random for some customers. This is why we went back to the classic and 100% working lights leaving the option in the installer for you guys to choose as required.
