CLS MD80 in P3D v2.5 (w/current hotfix) - no panel?!

[SWVA4420 8]

Hi All,

 

I've tried to install the CLS MD80 into P3D v2.5 (w/current hotfix applied after initial install, prior to any add-ons) with the EMT. The plane will load, but there's no panel displayed in either VC or 2D.  I fly exclusively in the VC as I have a triple monitor setup.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?  I haven't tried the LHS Maddog, as I've read it won't work. (How I wish it would be updated to work in P3D!!)

 

Thanks for any help/ideas,

Jim

I will take a crack at it Jim and report back, but I'm not optimistic.

SOLVED - I found the answer, and the panel loads and works fine....I had to use the icon selector panel and select the VC, and voila - it appeared!

Great!!

 

How does it fly?  I am going to see if I can get anywhere without getting an OOM.

Jim,

 

I was pleasantly surprised -- flew smooth and I got great frames.  Good stuff.

Hey Ripcord,

 

Yeah, I did a quick circuit with it, and all seems ok, smooth flying and good frames here, too.  (I really wish Leonardo would update his Maddog for P3D though....that and FSL's ConcordeX are the 2 planes I still use in FSX....I wish PMDG would update their MD11 too, but I doubt seriously it will happen!)

All best,

Jim

Oh I gotta think PMDG will update all of it, but you will pay full price for it.
