I've been running P3D V4.5 on my old desktop computer. I just don't have an extra $2.5K to throw at a new rig during these lean economic times. I've always been an A-10 fanboi. One of my former employees helped design the gun feeding system BITD. A couple of years ago I downloaded the demo, but I never got fluent enough with the system to really try it out. If someone could be so kind as to take a look at my specs and see if a DCS campaign featuring an A10 would run reliably on my system. Thanks in Advance.

I have been reconstructing my Baytower RV7 files since they got corrupted. Does anybody have the Bitchin' Betty mod that removes Betty? My RV7 is flying OK and I have, what I thought was the mod but I can't get Betty to stop Bitchin'. I overwrote the gauge config as indicated below: [VCockpit01] size_mm=256,256 pixel_size=256,256 texture=$vcDigiFlightII background_color=0,0,0 gauge00=bts_xml_sound64!Sound, 2,2,2,2, ./gauges/bts_xml_sound.ini gauge01=btsSND!sound, 0,0 gauge02=btsRV7_configG!configGlobal, 0,0 gauge03=btsRV7_configL!configLocal, 0,0 gauge04=btsRV7!propDrag, 0,0 gauge05=btsRV7!simV4, 0,0 gauge06=btsRV7!digiFlightIIVSV4, 0,0,256,84 gauge07=btsRV7!pidController, 0,0 gauge08=btsENG!control, 0,0,0,0 And I put the simV4 xml into the C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\gauges\btsrv7 folder. Maybe my simV4 file was corrupted or I'm doing something else wrong? Anybody notice any glaring errors in my procedure?

My vote is for KVNY one of the busiest general and business aviation airports in the US.

That's a good price on the BG65. Walmart is $50 higher. $300 is a bit of a push on my budget. I need to buy a new audio mixer for my band, my BMW R90 is charging at 10 volts instead of 14 so I'm pretty strapped for money. Not to mention a trip to the grocery store. I don't "game" anything other than P3D. I'm not up on tech specs so, would the BG65 offer any advantages that my GTX970 gpu could take advantage of over the Samsung G50 QHD?

Thanks for the rec Stan. I'm sure that OLED looks great but it's about double my budget for my antiquated rig. Don't blame you for going first cabin with your new Jetline.

I'm running P3D 4.5 on a Win7 64 OS. When I boot up from overnight cold, the monitor screen alternately flashes between normal display and black rhythmically. I ran an OCCT stress test on the Geforce GTX970 video card yesterday and it did not show any errors. Needlessly to say my system is long in the tooth, but P3D is running smoothly and I really don't want to deal with configuring Win 11 and all the MS BS. I don't have a problem with throwing 200-250 USD toward a new monitor. My desk cutout opening is only 26" wide horizontally so I'm not sure what is the largest monitor would be that will fit. I believe the current ASUS is a 27" diagonal but I'm not sure. Any on point suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I know you've got the C208 but I paid for the MilViz PC6 and the TurboOtter. Skip the TurboOtter even for free. It's a dog. I love the PC6 though and it's my favorite bush plane. Give it a try.

I'd like to give DCS a try, especially the helicopters to see if they fly more realistically than in P3D4.5. Take a look at my antiquated specs and see if I should even bother downloading the demo.

Sorry Gerard. I'm not very conversant with the xml addon method. Wish I were. I am essentially an analogue dinosaur living out the rest of his life in a digital world.😉

Rogen thanks for all your good work. It was quite an undertaking for you no doubt. I went back and did the cleanup and then did all the updates in sequence. I flew a wheeled and a straight float iteration and everything seemed good. The autopilot seems much improved. I'm used to leaning piston engines for altitude. Before and after the updates, the mixture control didn't seem to have much effect either on the cylinder head temp or the running of the engine. I know this was likely the result of the MV designers.

I messed up when I did the updates. I didn't execute the file cleanup before the update. Is there a harm to the install if I try to clean them up now? Do I have to delete everything and start from scratch with MV file, then cleanup, and redo the updates?

FWIW I have the DHC2 installed outside my root P3D folder and accessed with a junction or symbolic link. I don't profess to understand how it works but it does work on my P3D 4.5/ Win7 Pro system. It seems that MVAMS is functional.

I'm running V4.5. As far as I know it's the MilViz DHC-2 Beaver 210720 default install. I have downloaded your Community 1.0 and 1.3 but have not installed them yet. I didn't download 1.1 as I read it was intended for V5+ only. What do you recommend for V4.5 only? Also I have located all my addon aircraft on my F: drive and connected them to the P3D root folder on my C: drive by a junction link. Should the Sim Objects folder overwrite the DHC2 folders on the F: drive or should it be installed strictly into the Root folder as your Release Notes indicate?

When I click on it, I get a one time flash of a rectangular window but it immediately goes away. Could this indicate an anomaly in any xml file perhaps? I will download your suggested GPS2020 but could you post an example of the syntax of how you integrated it into the Mindstar GPS option.

I decided to use the Milviz GPS 530/430 in the MVAMS for my DHC-2 Beavers. I have the RXP 530 but since the Beaver is more of a puddle jumper the RXP database isn't of much use. The clickspot is there but I can't get the GPS to popup. I tried making my own popup GPS in the panel.cfg, but I guess my ignorance of how the xml gauge files work didn't allow me to be successful. Prior to this Milviz xml system, I've always be able to manipulate the panel.cfg to my needs. What am I missing here?
