C195

[Beardyman]

I know that officially she is not for P3D5, but all other planes compatible for P3D4 works fine in v5.

With that hope i have purchased her from Carenado, and installed into my P3D5.

Strange thing is that inside cockpit i do not see plane body, just seats, gauges, propeller.

Outside view shows full plane without issues.

Is there any procedure to install her into v5 and have plane fully working?

The C195 is actually an Alabeo plane and does work Ok in P3D v5.

Transparency is typcially what occurs when licensing doesn't marry up, was the install manually moved from where the installer placed it ?

Maybe if you give it another go at installing?

I actually have it installed to a common Add-ons folder location where it is acessable by v4.5 and v5.3 and functions fine in both.

Note: the Sound folder is copied into the P3D Sound folder due to issues with it otherwise finding the sound files.

I also made these following changes to the engine data.

Thx for ur input.

Yes i have reinstalled her and things got fixed.

Unfortunately after first flight she is out - thanks to A2A ...

Good to hear things are fixed.

Yes it is certainly no A2A equivelent, which it was never intended to be, but is pretty unique otherwise.

Most Carenado & Alabeo would fall into the bracket of well detailed in looks, although lacking on substance but in geneal fine for the non-sophisticated user.

There are a few Carenado & Alebeo AC where community mods have improved the overall aircraft, my fav are C208B steam gauge with PBR, FM update, gauge and sound mods, the C421 Golden Eagle with FM update, physics update, gauge and sound mods, the Pilatus PC12 with PBR and community update mods and the 690B Turbo Commander with Bill's mods.

Cheers

I know, i have purchased her because she is a piece of beauty, but even her sexy look did not compensate lack of any depth 🙂
