MrUnSavory Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hi Everyone, I don't usually ask for much help out here as I like to try and fix my own problems. It is part of the fun of the hobby. :) I am trying to get my CLS MD-80 working in P3D V4. Everything seems to work except I don't have a VC. All the 2d panels (hate 2d panels) seem to be working but no VC. Is this caused by the gauges being changed from .DLL to .XML? Sure would be great if this bird worked. Thanks, Ross G. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 CLS MD-80 does not work in P3D V4. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrUnSavory Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Actually it does. 2d panels work just fine. It is the VC that does not work and I am looking for an answer too. Thanks for trying. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgbaron Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 If the coding for the gauges, etc is not compatible with 64bit, it just will not work.

MrUnSavory Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Is that just for the VC cockpit? As stated the 2d cockpit works fine. I take it the 2d cockpit does not use the same gauge files as the VC does?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evm Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Is that just for the VC cockpit? As stated the 2d cockpit works fine. I take it the 2d cockpit does not use the same gauge files as the VC does?? The CLS MD80 has a special (copy protection?) system, you have to specifically activate the VC with the CLS sim icons. If these icons are indeed based on a DLL, then there is nothing you can do. You should be missing the gear as well btw. I have the plane but I didn't try it in V4 yet. Complex addons seem pointless, as most of them use DLLs for some feature or other - and those just can't work in V4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrUnSavory Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Here are some screen shots from P3D V4. I have landing gear and a 2d panel but the 3rd shot is of where my VC should be but not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrUnSavory Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 FIXED!! Thank You EVM for slapping my brain a bit. It was as simple as the sim icons which I had forgotten about as I had not flown this bird in awhile. Yes, the CLS-MD-80 does work in P3DV4!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottiemand Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 MrUnsavory, Do you have switch sounds and altitude callouts? I have not been able to figure that part out. Any ideas will be appreciated.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrUnSavory Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Unfortunately no. I have been looking for a fix and trying some things but I think it is beyond my knowledge. :( I sure wish they had sound as everything else works.

Clutch Cargo Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm not sure if this is the answer but worth checking out. There is a 64bit sound gauge that was created that from what I have read fixes sound issues like you mention above. I saw it on the Orbx forums. Thread is titled: 'Doug Dawson 64 bit sound gauge'. I would check that out and see if it might resolve your issue. good luck, Clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have that gauge but the problem is that CLS has so many different sound files I don't know which one ,if any, to change. I tried a couple and it did not work. As I said I think this fix is a little beyond my knowledge. :) Hopefully some really smart person out there will figure it out. Ross G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildthing Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Can I get some pointers from you folks on how to get CLS MD-80 in P3DV4? I tried installing it and I get no landing gear and the nose gear turned hard to the right. Is there a secret V4 patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasen Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 To bump this thread, I, too, am still having this issue. The panel will not take me past a stage where it asks about what kind of monitor/resolution set up I have...no gear no VC, but I can hide the window in question and get the 2D panel with no working gauges...

MrUnSavory Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 I used the Migration tool to do it. Still never got the sound to work. https://www.flightsim.ee/products/migration-tool/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom55 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I can't buy the Migration tool ): There is other way to get the md-80 to work in P3D V4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I can't buy the Migration tool ): There is other way to get the md-80 to work in P3D V4? No. I don't know how to be more precise and accurate than that. UnSavory tried and failed. So will you. That is all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddawson Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I did finally break down and convert the old sound gauge used by CLS to 64 bit. http://www.douglassdawson.ca/files/dsd_xml_sound2_x64.zip Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrUnSavory Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Well I can not get this aircraft installed again now as I bought it through FSPilot shop and they are out of business. I have emailed CLS to see if I can get this rectified then I want to try these new sound files Doug has given us. Just hope I know which ones to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrUnSavory Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Got the aircraft back in P3D with wheels and all. Still missing sound for switches and call outs. Not sure what files to replace with Doug's file. If anyone figures it out let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to use it you will soon realise why it is unsuited for 4.4+ implementation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
