Hopefully this means we’re getting close to an official v5 release for the A2A fleet.

@Vic,

I am just a French developer (www.frenchvfr.free.fr) and my message is just to remark the possibility for every one who download C-47's Manfred to solve the CTD if they use it on Prepar3D v5.

@Captain420,

Manfred has used A2A windshield freeware of A2A so I think that C172 an C182 should run also on P3D v5 if you change the windshiled provided in theses planes by this one (20.4.20)

Great news. With a native v5 A2A installer hopefully in the pipeline then, all I need is Active Sky and I can finally get flying.

They still not in v4 ...

B17 or Connie are still not optimized for 64bits

Be aware - this is for developers only. It cannot be added by the end user.

I haven’t tested it so could be way off, but the v5 download includes a new windshield.dll which is the file many have had to disable to move products from v4 to v5 so i would think that is doable by the end user if that’s the only issue an aircraft has in v5?

Exactly, one cannot add this to an aircraft that does not already have it, unless one is the developer. One can indeed add the windshield.dll back into an aircraft that does have it and it then works in P3D v5. The Manfred Jahn C 47 being a case in point and I have tested it.

If you are missing the B-17 in P3D V4 or V5, the Aeroplane Heaven B-17F/G works in both these sims and is a very nice model of it which is inexpensive too. Definitely one worth having if you like the Fortress.

I can't locate where in the Jahn C 47 build, does the dll go, I don't remember having to rename it, and it's still loading in v5 for me. Where did you find it's location?

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz (8 cores) Hyper on, Evga RTX 3060 12 Gig, 32 GB ram, Windows 11, P3D v6, and MSFS 2020 and a couple of SSD's

Normally the effect is in the 'panel' folder.

You will need to be using the PBR version and in P3D v5. If you were and you had not renamed or deleted the windshield.dll file, you would have found that an attempt to load the aircraft would crash P3D. If it does not, then you don't have the PBR version. As mentioned, the dll goes in the panel folder. If you do not see a windshirld.ini file in the main C47 folder, then you probably don't need the updated file because you probably don't have the PBR version with the windscreen effects.

I think I lost my orders at flightsimstore but have copied from v4. Is it safe to update the above to Comanche 250,Texan T6?

Thanks Michael Moe
