Im using the DC3 from Manfred Jahn in p3d V4. When tuning a vor I dont get any signal on my RMI/VOR display. I tried around several airports around the world, and made sure to use p3d's own map to tune VORs, but no joy. Anyone know if there is a certain trick to this in this particular aircraft, or just that it simply doesn't work in p3dv4?

Yes, it all works.

Both the radios' switches and the radio master switch must be on.

The radio master - is that the one on the left side of the captain seat? The one with the mic switch?

Hello,

no, on the overhead above the captains head, top row, second switch from the left.

One of the best aircraft add-ons made. My issue in P3DV4 is that I can't hear the voice call outs from Ernie or the stewardess. I hear them in FSX. Intercom switch is on. Any advice? I Also don't seem to have any switch sounds.

Yes, you will need to update the Doug Dawson sound gauge to the 64 bit version.

The inverters? They are both on and no signal is received. 

Hello,

I am no expert in these matters but to me, the radios appear to work as they should.

Thank you.

No problem.

Here is how to do it, if you should need it.

For example, the freeware Manfred Jahn C47 uses C47_dsd_fsx_xml_sound.gau.

Rename the new gauge to C47_dsd_fsx_xml_sound.dll

Once renamed, copy it into the panel folder and delete  C47_dsd_fsx_xml_sound.gau

 

Please don't share the renamed gauge, here is Doug's request

I would only ask that if you distribute the file, you do not include the letters 'fsx' in the name and that you not remove the letters '_x64' from the name.

I don't want anyone getting the idea that this version of the gauge will work in previous versions of FS - it's 64 bit and so of course it will not.  It probably won't work in FSW either.

OK Thanks. I take it this is in the aircraft config file?

You will find the gauge C47_dsd_fsx_xml_sound.gau in the 

SimObjects\Airplanes\Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.14\panel folder.

Rename the new dll to C47_dsd_fsx_xml_sound.dll and paste it into that folder.

Delete C47_dsd_fsx_xml_sound.gau.

The next time you load the aircraft, the sounds will all be back.

Got it. Thanks again.

Ok, thanks for your input, gentlemen, but unfortunately my problem persists. When I start the airplane in the default state with engines running, I have no problems tuning VORs. However, when I use the Cold and Dark state on the checklist window, the RMI needles are no longer operational. 

This is what I do:

1. Start engines
2. Plane battery
3. Generators on
4. Radio master on
5. Turn on the comms and NAV radios (both)
6. Turn the ADF on
 

On the monitor window I can see that the correct VOR station is tuned (identifier is displayed), but in my VC the RMI needles are not picking anything up. 

Sorry, I have shown you them working regardless of how the aircraft is

stopped or started.

This remains the case. 

Another screen shot would be pointless.

Perhaps you have a saved default flight with an error in it.
