J3 Cub for P3DV4.5

Post by Golfer2A »

Two questions:

1. Is the J3 Cub compatible with P3DV4.5? If so, the sim throttle does not animate. Otherwise all other sim functions do animate.

2. In raining weather, should rain drops appear on the windscreen as they do on the C-172 windscreen in P3DV4?

Thanks,

Yes, the J-3 is compatible with both P3Dv4 and P3Dv5 with separate installers for each. Are you saying you have it installed in v4.5 and the throttle animation isn't working?

Yes, dynamic rain effects are included with the J-3 too and support either default weather or ActiveSky (ASP3D).

Thanks for the reply, Nick.

I have the FSX version, and loaded it to P3DV4.5. It works well in P3D except for the two issues I mentioned. Should both work after loading to P3D?
Again, I have the FSX version.

Okay, thanks for clarifying. No, the FSX version isn't supported in P3Dv4 and the Accu-Sim features won't work properly. In part, this is because P3Dv4 is a 64-bit application.
