And you have Berts mod?  If you don't the GTX 327 transponder will make your sim CTD

I must be missing one. I have all the files here. Maybe I'm missing one.

Is this the GNS that came with the airplane, or the RXP GNS?

Suggest having a good look at the panel.cfg file and comparing the popup window entries with the VC entries.  If in doubt, post your panel.cfg file here for others to have a look.. or send me a PM.

We really need a new RV for P3D!

My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL |
| Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

 

 

Boy o Boy its been a long time since I did that RV8 for VS , I remember I sent the sounds for that through the effects bus , I bet that worked in 64 bit,wonder if the stearman works too ... the kitty I am sure its sound gauge would need swapping out .

Regarding v4.5 my last out was the MV PC6 with PBR and all sorts of 64 bit dll's running its full on compatible, the doors come off , not normally aspirated but not too fast too , sure goes slow very well with a few degrees of flaps

Hi,

i have the Baytower RV7 installed in P3D V4.5 with the changes. No Problems. Now I try to install it in V5, but I can only see half of the Airplane without Wings, empenage and so on.

Achim

 

Redownload the Baytower RV7 from flight1 and installed it via add-on.cfg. Now not all but most is okay in P3D V5

1st Error: The Manifold pressure is not displayed. 😞
