Redbird Jay/Radios/Walkthrough

Post by Bucket66 »

Redbird Jay
Windows 10 Pro
Processor Intel(R) Core ™ i5-8400 CPU @2.80GHz 2.81GHz
RAM 8.00GB (7.85 GB Usable)
System Type 64-bit operating System, x64 based processor

Prepar3D Version 3.4.22.19868
SimConnect Version 3.4.0.0

Airplane Cherokee 180


Having issues when running P3D
-Walkthrough does not pull up
-Radios will no longer turn on


Questions:
-With the system requirement listed above am I able to upgrade to a more current version on P3D or is perhaps the problem else ware?
-Is it possibly a conflict between the Redbird Software and P3D?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the A2A forums.

Thanks for the information, but please can you clarify what you mean by "walkthrough does not pull up"?

As regards the radios being inoperable, could you confirm how you're interacting with them? Is it via a hardware control, keyboard shortcut or mouse clicks on the screen?

The 180 should work fine with P3Dv3, but this version of the platform is rather showing its age by now and the 64-bit versions 4 and 5 have by far a bigger share of the market. P3D system requirements are shown here if you're considering upgrading.

Update

The radio are now working again, so I have no idea what caused them to go out or what i did differently.
When I said "walkthrough" i am referring to the preflight inspection of the airplane. Can not seem to have that option open up.

Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks for the update.

By default, the preflight inspection window is accessed using the Shift 8 key combo. However, if you've remapped the default key bindings in P3D your may be different. Are you able to access other 2D panels such as the hangar okay?

Thank you. I've had this airplane for 6 months and have been hitting F8 not Shift 8 and thinking something was wrong with the program. It works fine. I'm an idiot. Sorry to waste your time.
