Commander in P3Dv3

[dscott3984 1]

Has anybody tried this aircraft in P3Dv3? I have time in a RW Commander and would love to add this one to my fleet. 

 

Thanks. 

 

EDIT: I also have the F1 GTN750 and was wondering if it works in this aircraft?

You have to install it into FSX (or a fake FSX install) first and then simply manually move the folders over to P3D. Works nicely that way.

Most imporant; download the 'optional patch' from the Carenado update section because it exchanges the complete FDE for a much better version (with the new one you can replicate Bob Hoovers AC114 aerobatic session). Should have been a SP and not an optional patch IMO.

Must be talking about the Shrike Commander. Don't think Bob Hoover did any demos in the 114s

You are wrong. He did and the videos are available on the Internet.

I stand corrected. Interesting video, thank you. I was not aware that he did any demos in the 114s. Even more of a testament to a great aircraft and pilot. 

 

Back to the original point, I do not have FSX so just install the aircraft into any folder and then move them to my simobjects/airplanes folder in p3d? Everything will transfer over and be functional this way?

I don't think that's possible because the installer is looking for a valid FSX install.    A long time ago I've tried to set up a 'fake' FSX install but it didn't work.

Ah ok. That sucks. 

 

Thanks for the answers
