Hi

I am posting here for a friend who is not English friendly. He is the primer DHC-6 cockpit builder in France and asked me this question.

On his setup, the cold&dark configuraiton is working fine under FSX but not under P3D v4.5.

It is strange because it works on my side but not on his side. I thought maybe you could have some tip to investigate ?

Here is how we do (does not keep the state on his setup):

I start P3D

Select the DHC6 aircraft and start the the scenario

Within the scenario, I open the addon famous checklist, then select the configuration tab.

In the configuration tab, I select "start cold&dark" and force "switch to cold&dark" if the aircraft is already running.

Last, I save the scenario as is as default

Later P3D start brings the TwinOtter in the cold&dark situation.

I even have the expected behavior on the new P3D v5. I do not understand why not on his setup ?

Any idea?

Thanks

Philippe

I can't say why this might be. However, I have not started from cold and dark since I installed 4.5, I was running 4.2 until not so long ago and I did a client-only update to 4.5. Hence I will try it out sometime over the weekend to see if mine still works as expected.

Hi

The other TwinOtter French simer is saying to me that the problem has been solverd after a full DHC6 addon resintallation under P3D.

Cool because it works even on the P3D v5 on my side... I did not understand... probably a corrupted addon file... we will never know

Bye
