Lewis I have formatted my drive and reinstalled P3D in P:/PrePar3Dv2.5/. Will this hopefully solve the problem? I downloaded the installer on the 1st page of this thread is that what you mean?

Yes, give that a go to see how you get on, but using that drive like that might be an issue with our updater.

thanks

Do you mean installing P3D outside of C:?

No it can be outside of C:. Others who have installed the simulator directly to the root of a drive have experienced this problem in the past. This creates other risks since the files could be more easily overwritten by other programs or applications with common filenames or folder names. It is much safer to install the simulation to its own path.

Ok thank you for clearing that up. I could not figure out why the updater would not work after I had done a reinstall cause it worked fine prior to this which I had installed on P: . Got in too much of a hurry and did this install on P:/ instead of P:/PrePard3D/

Lewis ... I have an odd one ...

Running the 09_15_15 updates, it steps through all my aircraft (and updates them fine) - including, apparently, the C182 Skylane. But then I get this:

... and the updater carries on (without further errors).

EDIT: Sorry - forgot to add that this was from a freshly re-downloaded p3Dv2 Skylane Academic from SimMarket.

Large a Thank you with all a2a team for her follow-up of the automatques updates of all its products by accusim.
I know very few étiteurs who practice this policy of service after sale for their aircraft and that deserves to be raised.

Am I the only one who have the airspeed indicator redline in the Cherokee at 171mph instead of 181mph? Maybe only a typo?

Also, the 182 lost it's turn-coordinator-ball after the update...

Erik,

the "official" Vne of the Cherokee 180 is 171 MPH - that's at least what I see in one of my Cherokee Manuals and on page 61 of our A2A Cherokee manual. The turn-coordinator ball in the C182 is working as designed in both my FS and the P3D installations.

171 is the correct VNE for the Cherokee.

Also, I have a proper ball on our 182 here on our test machine. Maybe try removing and re-installing the 182?

Scott.

Yeah, the little typo with the VNE redline on the first page of this topic had me wondering too for a bit. :wink:

With respect to the turn-coordinator ball Erik, do you mean yours has disappeared altogether, or that it's 'frozen'? The usual reason for the latter is having 'auto-rudder' ticked in the realism settings, though you probably know this.

One thing I have noticed recently, is that though lots of rudder is required to counter engine torque (and the other left-turning tendencies) on climb-out, very little is needed to keep the ball centred whilst instigating turns (a standard rate turn anyway). In fact, so much so, that I actually find myself still applying right rudder when making a left turn onto the crosswind leg of a standard traffic pattern if I want to keep the ball centred. This may be entirely accurate with a high-power climb out: it's just an observation really. There's a further topic on this here which may be of interest.

In short, the rudder/ball relationship now seems to be much more about countering engine and propeller effects; not so much for coordinating turns.

Ok Lewis that was the problem. It was my install path. Thanks for everyone's help.

Adam,
Try re-downloading the 9/15/15 update again and run it, and let us know if this works for you.

Thanks, Scott. Re-grabbed it from the link in #1 in this topic.

Sadly, the same problem. It steps beautifully through all my A2A aircraft (I think I have the full set now LOL) but I get that pop-up before and after the Skylane update/section.

I'm using the updater P3Dv2 option and it's finding myP3D root folder OK. I've tried uninstalling/re-installing the C182 but I get the same error. Very odd!

Adam.

UPDATE: I uninstalled the 182. Checked all directories gone, then ran a couple of registry cleaners. Rebooted, re-installed the 182 and ran the updater. Same error. This is Win7x64 with full admin rights and P2Dv2 sitting on F:\Prepar3Dv2

Am I the only one with this problem?

I have the same in P3D v2.4 using the latest installer. Using the previous one (A2A_Update_06_28_15) I did not have the error. As I saw there was updates for the planes, I didn't download the current one (A2A_Update_09_15_15) but just used the previous one. Everything installed like a charm.

Browsing through the thread here, Lewis saying we should use the latest package made me download it and running the installer again, just to be sure. It seem sall planes were updated, in FSX as well as in P3D, but the C182 in P3D gave me the error you encountered. As the latest package didn't add anything with the other planes, I assume that even the C182 in P3D is propperly updated as well.

Best,
Florian
