Having issues with the Lear.  I down-loaded the Version for Prepar3d V4 and I get yellow flashing line in the VC cockpit and most of the yoke is not displayed.  Dynamic lighting is off.

Did you set OPTIMIZE_PARTS=0 in the Prepar3D.cfg file.

No I did not.  I just added it and it now seams to work fine.  Thank you very much.

I've been looking for a decent classic Learjet for a while now. While Milviz's upcoming Learjet 60XR will feature a much more digital cockpit layout with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, the ability to integrate both the GTN 650 and GTN 750 in the Xtreme Prototypes Learjet 25D VC really makes this an awesome package. The interior and exterior models are superb, the attention to detail is simply excellent. I've taken a few screenshots:

I highly recommend this aircraft to anyone looking for a fantastic looking bizjet with GTN 750 capability and incredible performance.

Cheers,

Jerome

please anyone,why do you need to alter this,I have lots of Aircraft in P3dv4 that work fine and do not need this alteration to the config! so why does this Aircraft need it?

This is explained at length in the manual. They say it is an issue to be dealt with by LM. 

If you don't want to make this change they offer an alternative - just install FSX version in P3D. 

Some good news from Lockheed Martin (for developers of complex simulations and for all our users):

"We were able to revisit some of the logic of OPTIMIZE_PARTS combined with large counts of animations/visibility tags. We will have a change to support larger numbers in the next public release. We do not have a date when it will be available, but we will announce it soon as possible. Thanks for your assistance in tracking down this issue!" -Adam Breed, Prepar3D® Engineering Project Manager

Excellent.

How do you get the pilots to show up in the vc?

Click on the center logo on the captain's yoke (pg 3 of the release notes in the manual).

Please try to keep us informed because when this is fixed, I'm in.

Thanks, I just wanted to see what my pilots would look like with sunglasses :)

While we have no control on what LMT does and when their products are released, our sources are telling us that the OPTIMIZE_PARTS issue is resolved in the beta version of Prepar3D® v4.1 already in the testing phase. When the update is out, hopefully very soon, I guess it will be announced on the Prepar3D® website. Again, this is an undocumented simulator issue, not an addon issue. We only helped them tracking it down. So there will be no patch from our side, you will only need to update your simulation platform to 4.1.

Please note that our native versions for Prepar3D® v4.x and v3.x have much more 3D animations and features than the FSX version. However, systems and procedures are the same on all platforms and this has no impact on the simulation.

Does OPTIMIZE_PARTS=0 decrease performance?

Don't get hung up on this optimize parts thing, just simply install the FSX version into P3Dv4. The only difference I have found so far is that with the FSX version you will not have the balance control on the 8 track tape player. 

They are working on a solution with LM for this so buy it, fly it, and soon you will be able to run the full version with optimize parts on with the P3Dv4 version. It seems LM will be adding more animation parts slots to the cockpit in the near future so this can happen. 

This plane ranks right up there with PMDG, Real Air and A2A so letting this small temporary problem stop you is just keeping you from the best small jet in any flightsim to date.
