Realair Duke v2 Piston in P3D v4

Recommended Posts

Hi fellas,

Have any of you been able to install the Realair Duke v2, the original one with piston engines, into Prepar3D v4? I used all the info I could find in the thread about installing the Turbine Duke in the sim. With this info I was able to install my Lancair Legacy into the sim succesfully. So I also installed the piston Duke in a Prepar3D Addons folder in My Documents and I added the appropriate info to the addon.cfg file and the add-on.xml. I replaced the original soundgauge with the 64-bit file. The aircraft appears in the sim, however, unlike with the Legacy, I cannot get my Duke gear and flap sound active. Any ideas what I'm missing?

Try adding the 64 bit sound gauge to the P3DV4 gauges folder re-named to RASDuke_Sound. it worked for me.

You cannot use the addon.xml method with the piston Duke v2.  Just install it directly into the P3D folder and change the sound gauge.  When installed outside of P3D RealAir can't find the sounds even if you have the right replacement.

Thanks for the replies; installing directly into Prepar3D did the trick.

Excuse me please, I had the Piston Duke v2 installed in P3D3.x and now it's in 4.1 with add-on.xml.

I have Legacy and the Turbo in same folder with the Piston. If you're familiar with the xml thing, you will see how I have it;

----------------------

<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on">
    <AddOn.Name>Duke B60 V2 P3D3</AddOn.Name>
    <AddOn.Description>Aircraft RealAir</AddOn.Description>
    <AddOn.Component>
        <Category>Effects</Category>
        <Path>E:\RealAir\dukeb60v2\Effects</Path>
    </AddOn.Component>
    <AddOn.Component>
        <Category>SimObjects</Category>
        <Path>E:\RealAir\dukeb60v2\SimObjects\Airplanes</Path>
    </AddOn.Component>
</SimBase.Document>

<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on">

        <Category>SimObjects</Category>
        <Path>E:\RealAir\dukeb60v2\SimObjects\Airplanes</Path>
    </AddOn.Component>
</SimBase.Document>

---------------------------------------------------------

<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on">
    <AddOn.Name>Legacy V2 P3D3</AddOn.Name>
    <AddOn.Description>Aircraft RealAir</AddOn.Description>
    <AddOn.Component>
        <Category>Effects</Category>

        <Category>SimObjects</Category>
        <Path>E:\RealAir\Legacy V2 P3D3\SimObjects\Airplanes</Path>
    </AddOn.Component>
</SimBase.Document> 

 

Of course I still had P3Dv3 installed when I went to v4. So required folders and info was copy and paste job

It may be more work than most users are inclined to put into it, but you can edit the configuration file for the sound gauge to use explicit paths for the sounds, something like:

Sound00=c:\p3d_aircraft\RealAir_Duke\panel\sound\KEYPRESS_ANNUN.wav, -200

You can do the same thing with the panel.cfg entry for the gauge:

gauge21=RealAir_Sound_x64!Sound, 1,1,2,2, c:\p3d_aircraft\RealAir_Duke\panel\Sound\RASDukeTv2_Sound.ini

The reason outfits like RealAir don't do that is that they can't know where your FS installation will be.  You of course do know that, so, if you wish, you can make the edits to the configuration files to include the specific path references.

The examples above are just that, examples.  You will of course need to modify them to reflect the paths where the files are actually found on your computer.

Is this also working with the P3D V3 installer or only with the FSX one?

Turbine Duke has a P3D version, but there is no P3D version for the piston Duke B60.

Sorry Mike! Need to read the titles more carefully :blink:

After some more research I just found out that there is now a P3D V4.1 installer from RealAir for the Turbine Duke :gaul:

If you place a dummy rxpgns.dll file in your gauges folder you can also configure the panel with Reality XP. I tried this so I could swap the units with RXP v2 ones. Unfortunately that swap is not flawless. Has anyone been able to succesfully do this?

Hi,

 

Follow this procedure...

I followed this procedure and it worked great. Glad to finally have the RealAir PIston Duke in P3Dv4, as I prefer it to the Turbine. Thanks of posting the link.

That's for the Turbine Duke.  We're speaking of the piston Duke - which was never officially updated for P3D.  

Anyway I tried installing the dawson 64 bit sound gauge and mine is not working.  I put it in the main P3D v4 gauges folder and it is renamed exactly like the old file.  Any ideas?

Did you try dropping Doug's 64bit dll into the Panel folder?
