Nick Cooper Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 It should work if you simply copy it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMBIII Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Just copy the Duke folder from FSX Sim Objects/Airplanes folder and place it into the v4 Sim Objects/Airplanes folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dow Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 P3DV4 uses a different structure. Only the P3DV4 aircraft can be in the simobjects folder. You can put other folders in there but the aircraft won't show up. A Google search came up with a solution to do with linking to a folder you create but it involves setting up an xml file I believe. I'm going to wait, hopefully someone will release a fixer of some sort... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holy Cheese Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Weren't the FSX and P3D versions of the Duke different? If so, I wonder how/if it will simply port over? John, in post #32 of this link, Elaine explains how to set up the xml file to get your P3Dv3 Duke into P3Dv4 - I did this myself, it's really very easy and works perfectly. If I can do it, anybody can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can put other folders in there but the aircraft won't show up. You can copy aircraft to the P3Dv4 simobjects\airplanes folder and they do indeed show in the menu and if the aircraft is compatible, they work in exactly the same way as they do in FSX and all other P3D versions. Indeed, for the time being, Aerosoft's and MIlviz's P3Dv4 installers do exactly that. Agreed, it is not the recommended way, but then nor is an ORBX folder in the P3D v4 root folder. This is my present aircraft catalogue and apart from waiting for the Doug Dawson sound gauge, they all work just as they do in FSX. I have relegated all but two of the default aircraft to AI by simply hiding the panel folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Interesting. I only tried with another company's plane and it didn't show up. This is good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARKH55 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 I did what they said to do and it works only problem is you cant hear the wheels go down or here when you use the flaps everything else works great so glad I get to my duke in v4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 No, like hundreds of aircraft, these sounds need Doug Dawson's gauge to make them play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Attwood Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I find it a bit desperate when people say such 'n' such aircraft works in V4 and in the next breath say they don't get the sounds! It doesn't work then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I suppose it depends on how much one's life is changed by a switch not clicking in a flight simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
