Can someone help me with getting the much admired Real Air Duke (v2) installed and working in v5?  I have the FSX installer for this aircraft, and it has worked great in Prepar3d v4 after I used Mike Lab’s instructions for steering the FSX installer to the Prepar3d folder and replacing a sound file in the aircraf’s gauges folder. 

But when I try this process now with Prepar3d v5 as the install target, the installer fails to work because it can’t establish an internet connection. I assume the links in the installer are just old and broken as RealAir is no more. 

But I see others are using the Duke in v5. Can I simply copy the files from the Simobjects/ airplanes folder from the v4 install over to the airplanes sub folder of the v5 install and manually replace the sound file in the gauges folder? Will this leave me with a working Duke aircraft or is there more to this?

thanks for any help with this. I really love the Duke!

I have the Duke and the RealAir Legacy working well in P3Dv4.5 with all the sound file fixes etc.. using the xml approach in the add-ons folder.

I just copied the entire folder in my Prepar3Dv4 Add-ons folder into my Prepar3Dv5 Add-ons folder, when you launch P3Dv5 it will ask you if you want the aircraft as all add-ons due when first seen you say yes and it works beautifully! Bottom line you don't use an installer you have to create (copy) the folder and create the xml file to point things appropriately as most of us did to get it to work in P3Dv4.

The PBR effects are not present but it still looks fine and both planes fly as well as they did in P3Dv4.5 and after I updated my GTN 750 to version 2.61 they work in both planes as well.

Good Luck

Use with caution...  I edited the P3D V4 registry with regedit command to point to V5 and it installed no problem .
