Vertx DA-62 In P3d V5

[Ray Proudfoot]

@mort78,

This is what the right side of my DA62 cockpit looks like. Do you see the same info? If not can you post your equivalent please?

Hi Ray.

I wish mine looked the same. I've tried several other things, but I'm getting nowhere 😞

As you can see from mine, I'm missing a LOT of usuable data. Status messages etc. I noticed your G1000 shows you using P3D Database... Mine is like my alert messages. Nothing.

Here's mine below...

Hi again Ray.... I'm getting closer. I've at least found out WHY my cockpit etc looks the way it does. If you open the configurator, then go to advanced. Hit the more info on reinstalling XMLTools64. Page 22 of the DA62 manual shows what happens if the XMLTools isn't installed properly. Look familiar???? However, if I hit the reinstall button, I get nothing different. But at least it's a start.

So, if I was a gambling man, I bet the issue is with my DLL.xml file. It mustn't be loading properly. I've even tried to disable all other addons, reinstall the xmltools64, but to no avail. Still just getting the same issues. 

Also, my sound... if you look at the configurator again, under the advanced tab. Click more info for reinstalling the sound file. It again brings up my EXACT issue. No sound INSIDE the cockpit. 

So, as I said... I'm getting closer. I just need to work more on my files I think.

@mort78,

It’s curious it can’t read your version of P3D. Double check the Registry entry.

Other than that I’m struggling. I’ll have a look at my setup within the hour.

Can you paste the entire DLL.XML file contents please.

[Ray Proudfoot]

@mort78, one other thing. Search your computer for DLL.XML. There might be another entry in the one in your own profile. The only one for Vertx should be in ProgramData.

[mort78]

Wow... I got it to work. 

So the problem was the DLL.XML all along. So I took your advice and did a search on my computer for that file. There were 2. The one I created in V5 ROOT folder and another in the c:\blah blah blah\roaming\pr3d v5\

I looked at that dll.xml, and essentially added the info required to access the xmltool64.dll file in the root pr3d v5 install. I loaded the flightsim again, and I got asked if I'd like to use the XMLTool64.dll file. I said yes, and bingo. It's perfect now.

I just want to thank you @Ray Proudfoot for all your help. I must admit, I was starting to lose hope! If I'm ever in Cheshire, I'll look you up and shout you a bunch of beers!!

Many thanks again,

Mort

That's great news Mort. Glad I was able to help. I agree the problem lay with the XMLTools.dll after reading the user manual.

@mort78, when you’ve recovered from all the excitement I’d appreciate hearing your views on this wonderful aircraft. It’s up there with the very best from PMDG, FS Labs and a few others.

@Ray Proudfoot

Yeah absolutely. I'll give my feedback. 

I have experience with PMDG (777, 747, 737), which are just phenomenal. I've flown 2 of those extensively in real life, and the systems are bang on.

I'm not overly "Up to speed" on the G1000 in the DA62. So I'll have a play with that over the next few weeks and get back to you. 

Thanks again for all your help Ray.

Kind regards,

Mort
