July 14, 20178 yr On a whim, I installed my Realair Scout package into V4. I did this by installing into a fake FSX folder, then copied the folders over. To my delight it showed up in V4, loaded in V4, all textures were in place as were the sounds! It started up beautifully and with a smile on the chops I headed off down the runway...and kept heading off down the runway with the stall warning blaring. NOTHING would get the little tyke off the ground. Mmm. I then went to the map and stuck 5000 to my altitude. Whaddya know, it flew! Just as I remember it. I landed (perfectly of course) and sat for a few moments feeling pretty smug. I then tried to take off again...Smugness disappeared. Same refusal to get off the ground. Question: Is there anything that jumps out at you all, or do I simply wave goodbye to a very nice little kite? The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
July 15, 20178 yr Answer is above my pay grade. For me it would be a bye-bye until somebody figures it out. And I'd still hesitate to install. Trying to keep it clean in V4. Good luck! Aaron Thacker

Question: Is there anything that jumps out at you all, or do I simply wave goodbye to a very nice little kite? Ron, I have the Real Air Scout package working in P3Dv4. I just copied the folders over from my P3Dv3 install. It is working fine. I just tested the Scout and Citabria and both accelerated and lifted off normally. What was your manifold pressure gauge reading Ron? Is it possible that there was too much up elevator trim so it was trying to lift and stalling? What was your density altitude? Here is my engine section from the acft cfg. [piston_engine] power_scalar=1.0 //Piston power scalar 0.985 cylinder_displacement=90.3 //Cubic inches per cylinder compression_ratio=4.5 //Compression ratio number_of_cylinders=6 //Number of cylinders max_rated_rpm=2700 //Max rated RPM max_rated_hp=180 //Max rated HP fuel_metering_type=1 //0=Fuel Injected, 1=Gravity Carbureter, 2=Aerobatic Carbureter cooling_type=0 //0=Cooling type Air, 1=Cooling type Liquid normalized_starter_torque=0.5 //Starter torque factor turbocharged=1 //Need due to FSX power ramp at altitude max_design_mp=27.2 //Max design manifold pressure, (inHg) min_design_mp=0 //Min design manifold pressure, (inHg) critical_altitude=4200 //Altitude to which the turbocharger will provide max design manifold pressure (feet) emergency_boost_type=0 //0=None, 1=Water Injection, 2=Methanol/Water injection, 3=War Emergency Power emergency_boost_mp_offset=0 //Additional manifold pressure supplied by emergency boost emergency_boost_gain_offset=0 //Multiplier on manifold pressure due to emergency boost fuel_air_auto_mixture=0 //Automixture available? 0=FALSE, 1=TRUE auto_ignition=0 //Auto-Ignition available? 0=FALSE, 1=TRUE max_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar=1.0 //Scalar on maximum RPM mechanical efficiency idle_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar=1.17 //Scalar on idle RPM mechanical efficiency max_rpm_friction_scalar=1.0 //Scalar on maximum RPM friction idle_rpm_friction_scalar=0.7 //Scalar on idle RPM friction It is stock and as you can see it is listed as turbo charged with a max of 27.2". Critical altitude is listed as 4,200. I think they did this to get it work correctly. What does you engine section look like?

July 15, 20178 yr well, I installed it when I got v4 and haven't had an issue, other than the missing sounds, I haven't had a chance to switch the sound gauge over. But, I have only flown the scout and decathlon. lemme try the base plane, and I'll report back
July 15, 20178 yr Author Thanks for the input Greg. My .cfg is identical. I deleted all the files I copied over and then installed it by pointing the installer to V4. Same results. On retesting I found that if I just let the plane decide for itself when to lift off it was OK. The trouble with that is for a bush plane it needs one heckuva runway! I did, incidentally, check trim and mixture etc. so it wasn't that. Besides this was at Eglin Field! I'll play with it some more. See how it goes. The World is divided into two groups.

July 15, 20178 yr just fired up the citabria at eglin field. had it off the ground before the first taxiway no flaps. the scout version has been my primary scenery testing plane since I installed v4 no issues. I realize this is terrible news, since I don't have an answer as to the problem. installer run as administrator?

July 16, 20178 yr Author Whoa! That's a nice injection of horses! It'll now take off in the 670ft the manual says does. Does that apply to all the range or just the Scouts? The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
May 16, 20188 yr Hi. I have installed my Scout and Citabria in P3d and they work fine except the radio display are blank. All switches work OK, just nothing in the display spaces. Does anyone have any ideas? Geejo
May 16, 20188 yr Do you have the RASScout07 and RASScout07_gauges in your gauges folder? Greg Greg Morin Commercial ASMEL Instrument CFI Beta Tester i Blue Yonder, Flightbeam and Milviz
May 18, 20188 yr Thanks Greg. that fixed it. the only difference is the RASScout07_Radios not guages. Geejo
