P40 installed but not working (P3Dv5.1 HF1)

Post by gerod »

Hello,
I installed the P40 Academic from Orbx Central. Everything was OK. The aircraft was correctly displayed after it has been selected but just at the beginning of scenery loading it disappeared from the screen with the label "no preview available". At the end of the scenery loading there was a CTD. What did I wrong or what was missing ?
Thank you very much for explanation.
Best regards

ps Accu feel is installed (also from Orbx)

Hello,
I read in the forum that for solving this problem the solution was to rename the windshield.dll file. What I did and it is OK now for this problem. Another problem is now that the gear cannot be retracted after take-off: it remains in an intermediate position and cannot be modified. Is this another consequence of v5 ?
Best regards

Hello,

Please can we go back as the windscreen thing is an older thing that shouldnt be needed anymore.

Please can you let us know your system and specs, how you loaded, did you restart the PC after installation, any other third party software such as weather engines being run?

Please also let us know how you load into the sim, for example you shouldnt use a complex aircraft simulation (This includes the whole Accu-sim range) as a default flight as that can corrupt the first load.

thanks,

Hello gerod,

We've investigated this issue and it seems that Orbx have mistakenly included the P3Dv4 version of the Windshield.dll in the P3Dv5 install. We'll be in touch with them and I'm sure they'll be able to correct this issue soon. In the meantime, if you wish to, you can manually replace the Windshield.dll with this copy.

For the landing gear issue, are you running the manual hydraulic pump as described in the manual? The P-40 is a bit more hands-on than other aircraft you may be used to.

Thanks,
Nick

Hello,
Thank you very much for answering. I have added my configuration in the signature. The P40 was taken from Orbx Central and the installation done from their internal procedure. A restart of the PC was made after the installation. The only addons I added to P3Dv5 are sceneries and some airplanes from Carenado. In fact I had not fully realized that flying A2A aircrafts was much more complex than others and I have a lot of things to learn and understand.
Best regards

Hello,
With the Windshield.dll file you sent there is no problem now, thank you very much. Concerning the gear it is also OK, but I have to train, with the hydraulic pump.

Thanks for the update gerod - good to hear you're sorted. We've contacted Orbx and I understand they've corrected the Windshield.dll install logic within Orbx Central.

Cheers,
