So far, it seems to be working fine for me. I've only just taken off, and am still in the climb phase.

NOTE. I copied all of the 757-III files into P3Dv5 to test it.

A bit more than that.

I copied the following:

Prepar3D v4\Captain_Sim\757-III folder
Prepar3D v4\Captain_Sim\navigation folder
Prepar3D v4\Captain_Sim\bin folder
Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B757-xxx folders (all entries)
Prepar3D v4\Effects (all cs757_xxx FILE entries (4 cs757_xxx.BMP files are copied from Prepar3D v4\Effects\textures folder))

and pasted them in their relevent folders in Prepar3D v5. I created the Prepar3D v5\Captain_Sim folder before copying those ones over.

Does anyone know if the 757 III is working in P3DV5 and if so what is the install process if you don’t mind. [/b]

I tried the copying of everything over and couldn’t get liveries to show up. I’m continuing to figure out what the problem is.

My Graphics Card was not overclocked when I had the error in P3Dv5.
What I did was buy P3Dv5, download it, install it, started it and configured it, exited it, THEN copied the CS757-III files over. Started P3Dv5 again, and did the two flights. After rebooting my computer, and doing the third flight, it worked fine.

You need to copy lines from P3D4 to your P3D5 dll.xml

cs.sound.dll

I have installed the package in V5 but the screen goes black. maybe video problem ?? I have a 6g Geforce GT1060. any ideas?

I used the installer. It showed to be installed in p3dv4. It generated an error, but then gave the option to install it directly into p3d v5, and it is working.

Hiya,

So I dragged all of the files from P3D v4 into my V5 folder, and when I go to load the 757, I get a black loading screen and then a CTD.

My GPU is not overclocked.

Sure. It's on top of the list. And not just an installer, it's gonna be 1.6 with a number of improvements.

Can`t wait. 

I've installed the CS 757 on P3DV5.  When I installed my another company aircraft i had to modify to registry so that if P3dv4 would go to P3DV5.  Theirs a Youtube video on how to change registry so you can install another company to V5.  Change the registry at your own risk.  The  757 does work but it can crash very easily.  Do not select any 2d displays including the fmc.  MOST IMPORTANT do not select any autopilot cancellation warning or autothtottle cancellation those black switches next to the backup attitude and altimeter it will CRASH.  Try avoid using the zoom mouse function.  Avoid pushing mic or any clock buttons on the cockpit .  I do not know exaclty but the 757 will crash about 3/4 or 1 duration of the flight.  It maybe a command or the sim itself.  I'm using Active Sky P3d Beta, GSX, Ezdok.  Please adjust your sound INI file volume controls and make sure to install the sound fix in the forums for full sound functionality.  The ACE utility and liveries work flawless.  For some reason the sim will crash on the very first flight.  Please try a second attempt.  Still looking into the issue.  Make sure to turn off dynmaic lighting it seems to eat up a ton of frame rates.  Some loss of frame rates with vatsim.  I'm running a older version of nvidia display drivers some fps issues with another company, that may slow 757 down as well. Hopefully captainsim can get in update on the 757.

Hi

On takeoff run EPR turn off! 
Does anyone know Why?

Also, even though the 757 and the 777 do run in version 5, they are not totally compatable. Why?  shaders and shading and texture files need to be adjusted.  that is why CaptainSim officially put out that they would or ARE making new installers for version 5.

I can. Although when opening the second passenger door, I thought I was going to have a CTD because P3Dv5 hung for about 7-10 seconds before it opened. After that all of the doors opened like normal (no delay).

I saw a post back in May saying that the 757 v1.6 which would be v5 compatible was at the top of the list ... just trying to see if there is any update on when that can be expected as it has now been 2 months and the L1011 has been made v5 compatible already (since after saying the 757 was top of the list).

I do not want to copy/paste files as there is far too much room for error and seems that its easily causing CTD for most users who've done that.

Yes Chris J.

Read the rest of the Forum.  I've posted at least three times (757,767,777) on how V5 does not have a dll.xml file in the "APP" folder.

You have to add it in the dll.xml file in the ProgramData folder.

Is there a published feature/change list for the upcoming v1.6 for P3D v5?

No. However....
1. If you have P3Dv4, you can use the 64bit version in that sim until you buy P3Dv5.
2. There is a 32bit version for FSX/FSX-SE/P3Dv3, but if you buy that, then move to P3Dv4, or P3Dv5, you will need to buy the 64bit version for either of those sims.
3. If you don't have P3Dv4, or P3Dv5, then you won't be able to use it until you buy one of them, so it would be better to wait until you do (unless the 757 Captain III is on special).
