I left the US over Key West and landed in Varadero last night. I will certainly also check out the panel state option, if this can be a help for me.Īctually I also intend to fly to Ushuaia. I have WAMA and did't use it for a while now. It's a lot of work to fly a 732 or L1011 and have to make it go up and down yourself I believe CS has moved on from those old planes, though. With so few classics available for P3D v5.2, it's nice to have the old 737 which is as good as anything in my very large hanger and the better of the 737-200s available with the mod. I don't care about panel states, but if the loader crashes, then I'd pass.

I had been considering adding the freighter because the mod does include that as an option. Just flew Buenos Aires to Ushuaia in the Aerolinas Argentina livery. Lots and lots of excellent liveries are out there still. ACE doesn't work at all, but that's not a show-stopper. I have the base and advanced model working perfectly. Yeah, the panel lighting is great with FSSpotlights app that comes with the mod. It really is an amazing little gizmo that does so much more than the title suggests. I don't know exactly what your goals are here, but if you don't have WAMA, do yourself a favor and check it out. The Where Are My Airplanes app is great, if you don't have it. With the Total Overhaul Mod, there is a a panel state option through the the PCS (as I'm sure you know). If it doesn´t work, always a restart is necessary I wish we had kind of reset button from the sim, to clear all variables. It seems starting the sim in default mode, then loading the plane, seems important here, like with complex planes. The switch always snapped back but the power was already on in off position of the switch.

I had saved my flight after reaching destination. The map display is gone after saving the loader. Using the cargo loader can crash the sim and it seems to destroy the Total overhaul mode. I made several flights with the 737 in P3D5.2HF1 and made following observations: The only thing needed to adapt is the dll.xml modification. I did a few flights now and really wonder, why CS never did an P3D5 installer for this plane. My fault, the mentioned overhaul package installed FSLabs Spotlights, which can be set with the application outside of the sim.

If there's a switch, please advide how to find it. I checked the manuals, but the switches shown there did not work for this light. The overhead becomes black if I switch it off and only the instruments remain enlighted. I found a switch for the overhead panel, switches for the instrument backlights, but not for the white light on the panel.ĭid I just not find it or is it one of the small items not working correctly? Yesterday evening I searched for the light switch to switch off the dome light, that illuminates the main panel. I also applied the total overhaul 1.1 and it works fine. I successfully installed the 737 Captain for P3D4 into P3D5 by directing to this version and manually changing the dll.xml. We've lost a lot of ground with P3D that I hope we'll gain back soon. Holy cow, I was comparing the latest light pack from a certain dev to pictures of my old CS 727 with A2A Shockwave lights. You know, when I came back to the hobby just a few weeks ago, I probably would have stuck with FSX.

I'm not updating past 5.1 until I have a really, really good reason to. Novel programming and an unreleased SDK on one hand and the awful incremental updates on the other, there's got to be a lot of uncertainty for them. But personally, I would rather see the 737 or 727 than the "Captain Sim Airbus." I think the community at large needs to notice that. I will continue to support a good outfit who hasn't split resources between P3D and MSFS, or worse, just not brought their products forward. I suspect most people want the shiny new things, though. We have a glass fleet pretty much except for the L1011 and I'll be happy to see a classic with shorter legs. Info in the dll.xml file located in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5 Info in the dll.xml files found in C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\, or C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5, but the sounds for the 737 work perfectly fine (this was after uninstalling from P3Dv4, and reinstalling it directly into P3Dv5).

I did uninstall the 737-200 Base Pack from P3Dv4, and when I reinstalled it, I was able to change the directory from E:\Prepar3D v4 to E:\Prepar3D v5, and install it directly into P3Dv5. What happens if you install it directly into P3Dv5 when installing? Or doesn't it give you the chance to change the directory of where you're installng it (as in it only recognises that P3Dv4 is NOT installed)? Sorry, but I'm not going to uninstall P3Dv4 just to test this.
