Hi guys,

I've installed the Miviz T-38 Talon Advanced in P3Dv4.1 but I have no gauges no landing gear and the control surfaces are locked. Can somebody please help?

Kindest regards

Have you tried the recommendations in the following posts:
landing gear is missing and control surfaces stuck
Missing Landing Gear and Locked Controls on P3D V3


[edit]

It may be that I have confirmed with the devs that you do require x64 C++ distributables
Download links are here: http://milviz.com/support/redistributables.php

For the T-38A ADVANCED, 2008 & 2013 are required.

Small correction, it was updated to use VS2015. Something else is happening here. Please post the content error log from your documents\prepar3d v4 files.

The OP says he looked in Documents\Prepar3D v4 files but there is nothing in there relating to “content error log”


what next?

Start P3D, Go to Options\Application and enable Content Error Reporting. Then restart the sim, load the T-38, close the sim, and look for the log.

Hi Jonathan,

As I explained to Osh, I tried installing the VS2015 x64 redistributable but it would not install. It advised me that another version was already installed. I went to control panel / programs and features, but I could not find another 2015 version there.

Please see attached screen prints

Kindest regards

Colin

Hi Jonathan,

I have never used a Skype session before, I normally use TeamViewer to allow somebody to connect to my computer. Do you have the TeamViewer software yourself? If not, where can I get the Skype software?

I will also need to know what (UK) time on Sunday you would like to start the session?

Kindest regards

Colin

Hi Jonathan,

I've just downloaded and installed the Skype software. But I still don't know how to use it.

What time (UK) on Sunday do you wish to start this session?

Kindest regards

Colin

No worries I do have and use TeamViewer as well. I am in UTC+2 so fortunately not far apart. Is 1400Z ok for you?
