P3D and 777-200 (Read 89846 times)

	Has anybody got the new P3D version running in P3D V1.4 ? �I haven't upgraded to P3D2 yet, and I'd love to find out that the 777 now works without needing to use Legacy mode - never could get that working on my system... I don't mind buying the new version, but since it only mentions P3D2 I'm a little hesitant... Plus, do the 300 and Freighter expansion packs for FSX work with the P3D version ? BM

	The P3D version works fine in P3D v2, I'm not sure it's compatible with P3D v1.x. Edited: There is now a 777 Captain for P3D v2, but you'll have to pay for it (�29.99).

	I haven't tried in P3D V1.4 ... it does work VERY well in P3D V2.2. Cheers, Rob.

	Hi I'm hoping someone can help me I've just installed CS777 1.4 for P3D v2.2 and the performance seems really low. I seem to get no more than 15-17fps. Turning other display options like msaa etc seems to have no real effect. I've tried changing cpu affinity in task manager, which has resulted in the 15-17fps - before it was more like 12fps. I have all the latest software drivers etc afaik AMD 8320 8 core OC'd @ 4200 GTX770 2gb 16GB RAM Win 7 Does this sound right? �

	The cost of moving to P3D v2xx is small for the Academic version. The proportion of simmers using v1.4 compared to v2.2 is tiny. I can't imagine that any business approach to sim add-ons will willingly include v1.4 any longer.

I get 17-20 at large airports, but the frame rates increases as I gain altitude and get further away from the airports (naturally). Although this is similar to what I get in FSX, I have my sliders higher in P3Dv2.2. I am willing to sacrifice some FPS for looks! Besides, 17-20 in DX11 looks/feels smother than it does in DX9.

	Cheers for the input. I guess it's frustrating when you compare the performance to the airbus x fps. Hopefully more optimisation lies in the future �

	I just finished installing P3D v2.2 in Windows 8.1. I seem to be getting slightly better frame rates with the 777 (first plane I have tried). The VC looks neat too (I'm pretty sure it looks neater in P3D in Wiundow 7 too). It must be the way P3D handles the textures better (just guessing). Note. I'm not totally sure the setting are the same in both installations of P3D yet.

	Just checking..... I purchased 777 1.4 for P3D I do NOT have FSX installed I am using P3D version 2.3 I'm one of the people who can't get the 777 to install (yoke hard over, no roll or pitch control, no visible gear) Is it possible that the P3D version of 777 installs in P3D ONLY if FSX is ALSO installed?

	I assume you've tried all of the common steps, e.g. deleting existing registry keys, installing as admin, manual offline activation, etc.? If so, you may be relegated to doing like me and using the migration tool.

	Yup, tried ALL the steps - except this migration tool thing. I guess I'll look into that , yuk...

	Hmm. So in an effort to be a little more dilligent before purchasing something, I've been over in the 1011 section reading about any sort of issues that thing has and I came across a comment from a dude about a similar issue: --------------------------------------------------- Hello I 've had the missing landing gear / panel issue. In my case, it was due to simconnect : need to install it again from : \redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK\retail\lib\SimConnect.msi from within Prepar3D root folder. Tips found on Majestic software forum. (Which Q400 had the same issue.) Just to share. --------------------------------------------------- This is a far more promising and sensible problem and solution and I would urge anyone having this issue to try this first, especially if you don't want to buy the migration tool (and to be honest, you shouldn't have to considering this is a P3D addon). I have better things to do than unintentionally uninstalling something just to see if a new install process works out this issue so I'll save my attempt at it until the next time I need to do a fresh P3D install for whatever reason. So, certainly, give this a try folks and see if this works.

	So just an update guys I fixed the activation issue. The problem was that I did not have FSX installed on the machine. It seems that the CS 777 needs some registry entries generated by FSX in order to work in Prepar3d V2. You must have FSX installed in order to run the add on. That fixed my problem with landing gear not showing...etc...

	Thank you for confirming that.
