Talk about off-topic! 🤣

I’ve read your post but don’t want to stray off topic too long even though I started it. 😁

You never realise the importance of a good pension until it’s too late. I never knew how valuable it would be when I started work at 16. I do now.

Better get back on topic. 😉

I have a civil service pension plus my state pension Mark. 45 years of grafting has finally paid its rewards.

I wish I could go back in time and change my after school choice of jobs, knowing what I do now.

I left the left seat of a saab340 to go fly a Cessna310 initially for a government agency that came with a defined benefit pension. Retired now every day I give thanks for it though I had mixed feelings about the move at the time. Co-workers at the regional thought I'd lost my mind.

Although I've retired now, while my scenery will remain at SimMarket for a month or two I am looking at how Real New Zealand NZCH and Real New Zealand NZDN perform in v6. 

There's some info on how to get an existing P3D installation working on the Godzone forum at NZFF.org.

I just acquired your scenery for New Zealand and installed it into v6. It works fine although I cant get the SODE gates to operate, they show up, just dont respond and Ive moved the required file to the right location, with the correct path. Might not be an issue with the airport itself tho, but for your scenery, it looks really nice and I will be showing them on stream this Saturday at 7pm UK time during a nice tour of the North Island. Thanks for making such great airports!

You aren't the only one to have found a problem with SODE and v6.0 (not me, yet!). 12bPilots seems to have disappeared and there's no announcement of compatibility or otherwise with P3D v6.

Lorby Axis And Ohs was just released for v6

Wrong island Adam, unless you are taking a detour! They are worth showing off though 😃

Cheers, Adam. The SODE jetways should work, they do for me, I'm not sure why they don't work for you. Most of the battle is actually getting the jetways to show up, but since you already have them, then I'm stumped. Can you get the SODE menu to appear onscreen?

Does the SODE log file give any clues?

Here's a shot of one of the jetways. Sorry about the aircraft, I didn't have anything appropriate in v6 to test this out, so I borrowed the default FSX 737:)

For me not being able to install any of my FSLabs is a real PITA 😕

I was planning to use P3dv6 mainly for that. 

My only PMDG is the 777, and I never liked the way it's "FBW" is modelled ...

yeah, the SODE manager says V5 is activated so it should be working in v6.  I can get the menu up but it says I need to move to another spot. It doesnt say what is in your picture. Ill fix it Im sure, Im too busy re doing the PBR for PMDG aircraft on both exterior and interior model.

I am getting red x at the gates using SODE in Prepar3d V6.  SODE shows up in the menu

Random one but how about tfdi 717?  Really love this plane in p3dv5 currently…

Works fine by me

Hi:

Is there a "master" list somewhere of all the add-ons that work?

Thanks.

That would be very handy😊 I am trying to decide whether to get v6 or not and such a "list" would help.

There isn't yet because people are still experimenting with it.

Are there any specific addons you cannot live without?

You might get the info you want if you ask
