    I wish that I could post an image on this (no)Startup issue but I do not know how to do that either. I get to the screen where  the opportunity to enter the Install path should be but as I said the picture of the aircraft is there but the rest of the screen is just white. Somebody suggested that I should just wait for it "to do its thing" . An hour should be enough but nothing changed. Sean or somebody at  Vertx should have a clue so I'm waiting.......

    Hey guys. I figured that if anybody could help with ihis, it would be someone here. I salvaged an FSX Realair Duke B-60 from an old external hardrive. Understandably one of my favorite twins of all time. Still flies great in P3D v.4 and those twin pistons still have that growl. Sadly she has no exterior lights. Nothing, no navs, landing, or beacon. Can somebody help me fix what is missing in this old bird? Maybe something in the config file?

    Thanks,

    Eric

    Hi Ritchie,

    Thanks for your thoughts. I understand the steering mechanics of a real world 182.  My situation precludes that arrangement in the sim but I know that at some point in the past I was able to achieve ground steering through the yoke and using autorudder. Totally unrealistic but it kept me out of the grass.

    Best,

    Hey guys,

    I am onto this issue again! A couple years ago I had this plane and this issue. I have been away from things for awhile but I just ordered their newest version of the 182 for P3D v.4  and I have the same frigging problem. I think I solved it way back  when but of course I cant remember how One complication was/is that I cant use my legs so use auto rudder. Nevertheless I did get ground steering through the yoke but like I said, I do not recall the solution. I vaguely recall someone suggesting an update to 4.2 might do the trick but I have not gone down that again, yet.. If you have any suggestions please pass them along. A2A has been of no help!

    Thanks,

    Eric

    2 Saitek quadrants. 1 plugs into yoke with a USB and operates properly. The second plugs into the yoke with a round pin plug (ps2 type connector?) Windows 10 can see it but P3D cannot. I see numerous complaints on this issue but no solutions. I use P3D v.4. Any chance an update might solve it? Regardless do you think that I should update from v.4? Which version is most stable in your opinion. 
    Thanks for your thoughts,

    Hi everyone.

    By backwards I mean I am beginning with a curved ultra widescreen monitor and P3d and wanting a system built to support them. I have stopped flying because of vision issues which is the same reason for choice of monitor. Expensive but will work best for me. No longer flying makes the Sim particularly important to me.i  I am not a gamer and I don't need a blistering hot system able to push every slider to the peg, run numerous addons and expect 60 fps. It is the realism of the flight model, virtual cockpit rendition, avionics  and systems replication that most interest me. A smooth running PMDG 737ngx is a good example of what I am looking for. With all of that in mind, if anyone can suggest a full listing of the components they feel necessary to give to the builder it would ibe a huge help in getting things right the first time! Expense is not the biggest consideration but I also don't need an overbuild that would satisfy a competitive gamer. Thanks for reading this and for any suggestions you might make.

    Once again many thanks for the outstanding response to my question regarding piston twins. Seems that I am the only person to successfully screw up something that is interfering with the panel and instrument lighting issues. I will uninstall and reinstall using all of your suggestions. Alternative piston suggestions give me lots to check out.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for advice and suggestions. Back to the lights issue I am happy for those  of you who have lights working. I did read they seemed to be fine in earlier P3D versions but not 4.2.  Anyway back to Milviz to see if they can help. If anyone discovers something more on my problem please chime in.

    Hey guys,

    Still on the hunt for a decent P3D v.4.2 piston twin. Had high hopes fo new Milviz Cessna 310 r but once again they make a plane where instrument, panel and cockpitlights are not operable so  night or marginal light flying is out. This problem goes way back and across many models. I have yet to see a fix. If I have to look to Carenado can anybody recommend a decent piston twin? Not looking for A2Aquality but it would be nice if major systems worked reliably.

    Thanks,

    Hi gents,

     

    I am 70 years old so consider accordingly please.  To begin this thread a lad wrote,

     

    "Last time I looked into this it required buying a TripleHead2Go. Is this still the case, or does this Nvidia Surround thing I've read some stuff about sort of do that for us? If not, what do I plug my three monitors into on the rear of the card? My 580GTX has 2xDVIs that I current use (although not to stretch the FSX view). Am I able to use the HDMI port at the same time as the two DVIs or does that cause problems? 

     

    The final bit about running 3 monitors from a an Nvidea GTX 580 gets results from "Yes you can" to "No you certainly cannot"  My purpose being to stretch the FSX view.  If anyone is actually running the GTX 580 with a converter for the HDMI port, to get the 3 monitor setup operating  please let me know and for all if the results are satisfactory.  If not tell me how high I have to reach to get this setup to play nice. 

     

    Thanks,

    Grandpa

    Hi Gents,

     

    I haven't seen any other complaints re Autothrottle in the 737-800 but i'm having a terrible time keeping it engaged. It regularly drops off for no apparent reason and it will not re-engage unless I make an adjustment to the physical throttles. The nature of the adjustment doesn't matter, a llittle more or a little less and ATC will re-engage for a period but will again drop off after a short period. Makes SID's and STARS a dangerous chore. Any thoughts?

     

    Thanks,

    Eric

    Decent jet but "access" to their support forum is maddening. I have provided IRIS with the relevant purchase info. twice but when I try to get to the forum, I'm told that page is not available and that I have no right to access it anyway. Damn poor advertising for their product. Anybody else fighting this problem.
