P3d V4 - FA-18 Missing MFDs

Featured Replies

I have just fired up the F/A 18 Hornet, the Microsoft version that comes with the P3D V4 install.

I am missing the MFDs. 

Anyone know what's going on? Am I missing a gauge file?

You'll find the gauge file in your FSX gauge folder. P3Dv4 doesn't include an F/A 18 nor any other M$ aircraft.

OK Bill....this is too funny. How the heck did I get the F18 in my hanger?

F18's Boeing plane, right...makes sense it would not be included as default.

It appears that I must have somehow accidentally dropped a copy into my Simobjects folder...how that happened I have no idea.

I'll have to see if it actually works. I just checked the default vehicles page for Prepar3d and see the list matches mine plus the few others I have installed deliberately.

Thanks

The old FSX default aircraft have 32bit gauge DLLs. These cannot work in P3D V4.

Best regards

I just found it and old fa-18.dll.  Too bad. The rest of the plane looks great.

I wonder if my Vertical Reality FA18 works. I have an original disk version.  I'll have to look into this.

"not yet" hopefully doesn't mean never :wink:

Most current statement (May 24, 2017 1:33 am) by VRS Varmint in the VRS forum (https://forums.vrsimulations.com/forums/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=18147#p119300) was:
"Just to chime in here, I would urge people to settle in the long haul (months) on any TacPack/Superbug compatibility with P3D v4. It is also highly likely that the changes required are going to be so large, we may have to roll them into a 2.0. This is not going to be trivial and there will not be anything remotely resembling v4 support for the foreseeable future."

As of now the VRS FA18e and TaPack work great in P3Dv4.1:biggrin:
