Apologies to those whose support requests have been removed.
Please restrict this topic to a reference and do not ask for support or advice here.
Feel free of course to open a support topic elsewhere.

Yes, I think you are correct, I have had no CTD and I have the entire catalogue.
I am able to visit any or the airports declared to cause a CTD without one occurring.
So far.

Hello,
default AI is not a problem in this context.
The problem arises if the AI that is installed uses Fs9 aircraft models.
Many that are FSX and even P3D v1-3 compatible will not be compatible with P3D v4,
which is totally intolerant of Fs9 aircraft models and they will cause CTDs.
If you have Orbx AI traffic installed into P3D v4, it is not P3Dv4 ready and
the FTX aircraft should be removed from the airplanes folder.
I cannot advise on how to remove any other AI software or whether you need to.
You will have to enquire of their developers whether Fs9 aircraft models are still used.

Hello,
As far as I am aware, no.
Part of the problem is that over the years, the gauge has been used by both payware and freeware developers.
They have given it their own name, just as we did for the DDW C 47.
If you have an aircraft model that has bespoke sounds in the simulator it was designed for but does not in P3Dv4,
it is likely but not certain that this will be the gauge that was used.
-
If that gauge is based on the Doug Dawson gauge, then yes it can.

Hello,
No answer can be given to that question without knowing what you did with the control
panel.
I assume you have no FTX region?

Hello Carl,
There is no need to ask for what is already in hand.
In the meantime, use this method if you wish.

Hello,
this error is quite common and is because another process on your PC is using a file
required by FTX Central.
This can be because the simulator is running at the same time, the file is actually open
in something else. such as Notepad or most often, because live virus checking is in progress.
It has been suggested by Jim Young at the Avsim forums that the Carenado Meteo module
may also be a suspect, so if you have this installed, please disable it if all else has failed to remove
the error message.
Please ensure that none of these things are happening before posting a support request.

Hello Stewart,
I would agree but we are all different.

Hello,
having been advised by someone who knows and now having the dual control panels,
this is the answer.
The same person has written a user manual which should be with you soon.

Hello Mark,
this is so valuable, I have pinned it.
Thanks very much indeed.
Please add to it if you wish.
To other customers, please do not post support requests here, if you have a support
request on this subject, please start a new topic in the Vector Support forum.

To John Y, yours are in this topic.

Hello,
please heed the request Please do NOT post support requests,
especially for Carenado products on the FTX forum.
Thanks.

As before, please stand by.
Please don't post any more "me too" posts.

Hello,
I can only show you what I see.
I have no control panels with both options.
I do not know why you are all seeing different control panels.
I have asked for clarification and if necessary modifications.
Please stand by.
-
Hello,
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
I don't have either aircraft but other customers do seem to have
made it work, so perhaps there is something else wrong.
-
As far as I am aware, no not yet.
-
Thanks.
Possibly not, as this problem seems to be with the Turbine Duke.
I am guessing that this because you have installed the Duke outside
the simobjects folder, whereas the aircraft is designed to be installed inside it.
In my case the RASDuke_sound.ini file looks nothing like yours:
Sound00=./SimObjects/Airplanes/RealAir Duke B60 V2/Panel/Sound/KEYPRESS_ANNUN.wav, -200
Sound01=./SimObjects/Airplanes/RealAir Duke B60 V2/Panel/Sound/LARGEROCKER.wav, -1400
Sound02=./SimObjects/Airplanes/RealAir Duke B60 V2/Panel/Sound/LIGHT_RAD_ROTARY_SWITCH.wav, -50etc
and requires no tinkering to work.
But that is because the aircraft is where is was designed to be placed.
-
I placed the gauge into the gauges folder because that is what the RealAir installer does,
at least with the RealAir Duke v2 piston engine version.
I don't have either the turbine version or the Legacy.
You appear to have done the right thing with the files, so your next step should be to move the two gauges
to the gauges folder and see if they then work.
-
Please take another look at the NA regions' control panels.
Then please return and tell us which one of the NA region's control panels contains this
exact option.
QuoteNew night lights
Turn new night lights on or off (default = enabled)
Ideally with a screen shot of it.
Thanks.
-
Please have a read back over the topic, you will see that your question about both versions is answered.
I do not have the Legacy but if you have no gauge in the sound folder, perhaps it's in the panel folder.
-
Here is a reminder of the purpose of this topic
QuoteThe intended purpose of this topic is to inform only when commonly used third party software becomes P3D v4 compatible.
Ideally, this topic could become reference for us all.
Please do not post workarounds.
Please do not post release announcements for new products.
Please do post update announcements for existing products that have had a P3D v4 compatible version released.
Please do post the name of the software and if possible a link to where the information can be found.
Please do NOT post support requests in this topic or critiques of any products.
Apologies to those whose posts have been removed.

Hello,
You will not see that option in any of the NA regions' control panels.
Those are the subject of this topic.

Hello,
Both owners of regions without Open LC and owners with OpenLC have to be catered for.
If the regions' lighting was disabled by default when Open LC was installed, then
re-installing a region or adding another region would enable the lighting for that region and only
the re-installing of OpenLC would disable it again.
If the new lighting was not included in the regions, then owners of regions who did not own Open LC would
not have the new lighting system.
If the new lighting was not included in OpenLC, owners without regions would be deprived of that, including
of course the vast area outside the regions.
I cannot see a better solution than the control panel to allow owners of any these products to have the best possible options.
Error message: "There is not enough space on the disk."
in FTX Central support
Posted
If you see an error message "There is not enough space on the disk",
or your installation stops please check the available free space on your
system (C) drive first.
FTX Central uses the Windows temp folders to download and install
products and in cases of low drive space, the process may fail.
The solution is to move the Windows temp folders to another drive where
there is enough space for them to work correctly.
This is a simple process which will not adversely affect any other software
and in the case of limited C drive space, is a good idea in any case.
This is how to do it.
Source page
To change the location of the System Temp folder, follow the steps given below.
1. Right click on Computer and click on Properties. In the resulting window with the basic information about your computer
2. Click on Advanced system settings on the left panel resulting in a dialog box click on the Advanced tab a
3. Click on the button near the bottom labeled Environment Variables.
4. You may see both TMP and TEMP listed in the section labeled User variables for (account). That's the common location; each different login account is assigned its own temporary location.
5. In the Variable value Edit box you may specify the path to the directory that Windows and many other programs will use for temporary files.
Be sure and repeat that process for both TMP and TEMP.
You'll need to restart any running programs for the new value to take effect. In fact, you'll need to restart Windows for it to begin using the new value for its own temporary files.
