TFDi 717 Compatible programs

Featured Replies

Hello,

A few compatibility questions for current TFDi 717 pilots.

I would like to verify if these programs will work on the TFDi 717 :


P3Dv4.5 with Hot Fix 2

Ezdok v3 (for changing views)

FSUIPC for assigning / calibrating axes (elevator, rudder, throttles etc)

 

Best Regards,

I’d also like to know when the ctd bug is fixed. I’d love to purchase this plane

Such a pity that this issue has clouded an otherwise sweet ride. I am fortunate to have not encountered the issue. (Just did a 3 hour flight the other night with many view changes throughout.)

[email protected] - ROG Strix Z790-E - 2X16Gb G.Skill Trident DDR5 6400 CL32 - MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X - WD SN850X 2 TB M.2 - XPG S70 Blade 2 TB M.2 - MSI A1000G PCIE5 1000 W 80+ Gold PSU - Liam Li 011 Dynamic Razer case - 58" Panasonic TC-58AX800U 4K - Pico 4 VR  HMD - WinWing HOTAS Orion2 MAX - ProFlight Pedals - TrackIR 5 - W11 Pro (Passmark:12574, CPU:63110-Single:4785, GPU:50688)

All of those programs work.

The view switching crash strikes like lightning. I have experienced it, but it's very rare. I try to be mindful to never switch to the outside view when flying this plane unless it's after I land.

i seem to recall reading on a forum the developers were on the path to fixing it.  But I'm guessing it turned out to be the wrong path as it was quite some time ago.  I'm one of those who enjoy switching views.

They have figured out what's causing it but the fix is not optimal last I heard. I don't know if 4.5 HF2 changed any of that.

Over at the TFDi Forums they have stated that they believe they have found the cause of this problem and have passed it on to LM, after the last update I have flown the 717 for about 30 hours with no CTD when using Chaseplane to view externally instead of the default P3D keys. I use the numeric keypad to assign different views. (1-3 VC views, 4-6 internal wing views, 7-9 external aircraft views)The 717 is now my preferred domestic airliner after the 737NGX

I think I will wait to see if they get a fix.

interesting.  I also use chaseplane instead of the default keypad change views.  Maybe a moot point for me then?

With HF2 moving the thrust levers does not change engine thrust (which remains idle, no change in gauge readouts).

I guess if no one is reporting this it is not a problem with the latest HF?

Could it be something else? Simconnect issue?

That is why I was asking about FSUIPC usage in my original post.

Do you use FSUIPC or the default P3D controls?

I don't have a special setup for my joystick, I plugged it and use it out of the box. So I guess that means FSUIPC is not being used?

Correct.

FSUIPC is a payware product. Hear is a link for information:
