I installed Duke 2.0 into P3D v2. Very low FPS in the cockpit. Unusable to fly.

 

I have 33.9 FPS (locked at 34) in the Duke 2.0, at Aerosoft Trondheim, with medium settings and VC shadows on (and Opus Weather).   Definitely running more FPS friendly in P3D2 than it did in FSX for me.

System specs?

i5@ 4.2Ghz, GTX580 1,5GB and 8Gb Ram

Strange  :blink:  I get smooth 30FPS in the Duke V2. Outside and Inside.

 

And of all the different installation methods discussed so far...which did you use?

 

edit: Just read Q-Flyers post...may have to purchase the Estonia tool.

I used this tutorial: http://simmershome.de/prepare3d-ohne-fsx-mit-allen-fsx-addons-betreiben/

Its in German but maybe "Google translate" is your friend  ^_^

Unfortionately, this method only works if FSX is not installed.

I get great FPS in the Duke in FSX and p3dv2

Traded out my Radeon 6970 for a 780 GTX today and the Duke is back to rockin' the frames. Hope Rob and company are able to get the sound gauge working again.

Where can I get The FS Estonia Migration Tool?

Thanks,

There are claims that the Duke is compatible with P3Dv2. Others (including RealAir) claim it isn't. Still others claim you have to futz around with the name of the P3D executable to get it to work. I tried to install the Duke using the FSX installer, and while the aircraft "kinda" works I discovered a number of visual anomalies including undesirable transparency in parts of the panel, bright bluish strobes positioned in the air off the ends of either wing and above the tail (at night), high draw latency (on either the panel or the aircraft) when switching between VC and spot views, no RXP 530 support (even though it was presented as an option in the config utility), and missing sounds.

 

I figure someone knows something I don't, someone wasn't terribly observant, or this aircraft really doesn't work in P3D in its present form.

 

Anybody have luck getting this aircraft to work?

 

Wel after trying to land the left gear won't come down :(

I'd love to see a video of that! :lol:

I have that problem too.

I have that problem too.

 

Mark change the contact points section in the aircraft.cfg file make sure to back up that file first...

 

point.0 = 1,  0.82,  0.00,  -3.95,  4000,  0,  0.633, 35,  0.28,  1.9,  0.50,  4.0, 4.0, 0,  152, 180

point.1 = 1, -8.04, -5.40,  -3.98,  6000,  1,  1.00,    0,   0.37,  2.0,  0.70,  5.3, 5.2, 2,  152, 200  

point.2 = 1, -8.04,  5.00,  -3.98,  6000,  2,  1.00,    0,   0.37,  2.0,  0.70,  5.3, 5.1, 3,  152, 200

 

Love this little bird great fps to constant 34 locked :-) with higher settings as FSX...

If you use the soft landing gear option in the Duke's config panel it should work. If that's not possible in P3d then make the change in FSX then copy the aircraft cfg file over to P3d. , or you can use the above (with thanks to blueskies for the contact point alternative above).. We are keeping a keen eye on reaction to P3d and the many reports about it, and that will help us assess what plans we have in the future. In the meantime we continue to support FSX customers as normal.

 

PLEASE do not email us about P3d. We are aware of what is going on and will make our decisions based on what the vast majority of our customers wish, and our own assessment of P3d's progress.

 

Kind Regards,

That works.  Thanks!
