Has anyone figured out where the simv4 xml goes? I installed it into PD3 V4.3 tonight. It works mostly. The manifold gauge doesn't work. I never tried the autopilot. The landing light didn't light up the runway when I landed. However, the panel lights worked. The wings didn't show, but she flew. 🙂 I want to install the mods Bert and Ron made, but I wanted to make sure the airplane worked before going through all that trouble, perhaps for nothing.

She is a sweet little airplane.

If the wings do not show, you need to reinstall the RV7, from a fresh download from the Baytower site, first!

Is the Baytower site still up? Never mind, 🙂 I can look. If so, I will re-download.

Thank you Bert. I re-downloaded the aircraft from Flight1 and it now works as advertised. I can see the wings and tail, and the manifold pressure gauge works. However, I still don't know where the simv4 xml file goes?

In the btsRV7 folder.

Which is in the panel folder.

Thank you Bert and Ron! I have her flying and looking good, thanks in a large part to you. Ron, I hope you can forgive me. One of your repaints for the RV7 is purple and gold, which happen to be the colors of my college, Louisiana State University. I slightly darkened the gold, changed the green assents to white, and added LSU to the wings and tail.  Now, she is a real Tiger.

Hey Bert, can you send me the files for the RV7 conversion? It won’t let me send any messages for whatever reason. Thanks!

No I can’t actually send any messages

Okay.  You were right.  Fixed it.
