[djw4250 1]

Will there be an update so that compatibility with P3Dv6 can be achieved?

Do we know that it's not compatible now?

Error logs report unsupported sim

When running the installer I only see options relating specifically to P3Dv5.  If I persist, ultimately I finish up with a notice saying:-

"C:\P3Dv6 is not a valid Prepar3D v5 folder.

Make sure to choose the folder where Prepar3d.exe version 5 is located."

So I renamed my sim's folder to P3D.  Then ran the installer again.  With the same result.

I'm no programmer but it is probably detecting the executable file and sees it isn't v5. Hopefully JL will provide an update

Hot off the press - compatibility updates for P3Dv6 have been released - thanks JL 👍

Yes! I now have the RXP GNS530 working in P3Dv6.

Can anyone report whether the autopilot follows the GNS530 route? It doesn't with the GTN series and I am pretty sure the 530 isn't doing it either - log files report that the autopilot is not supported.

We are hoping that JL will chime in with a further update

Big shoutout to JL - update released making the autopilot functional again - thanks JL!!!
