I am back :)
« on: September 21, 2021, 10:15:23 AM »
Hello to all pilots here, specially for Norm, Doug etc

So, i bought new laptop and now i use P3DV5.2 and i want to install RTTM scenery etc.
I have instaled ORBX global base, so what is step by step to install RTTM ?

1. Install Tongas fjord for P3DV5
2. Install RTMM Add-On for P3D V5 - (XML)  ( this is all scenery and library ? )
3. Go on scenery list and see requirement for ORBX PFJ, SAK etc and install it

Is this correct way and do i need to instal ORBX openLC North America ?

Kind regards, Igor

EDIT: Also, where to find Cigar box download ?

Welcome Back Igor. (You're still out there... it's been two years! Hope all is well with you and yours.

1. Install Tongass Fjords for P3DV5 (Use the add-on). (XML)
2. Install RTMM Add-On for P3D V5 (XML). Yes it is everything.
3. Yes Orbx PFJ, SAK required for Alaska. Orbx PNW required for BC Locations.
*OpenLC North America is not required but does some nice features and sculpting.

For 1. and 2. I set up some layering lines so Tongass and RTMM should sequence  into the correct locations in the scenery library, (with Orbx), but will have to add a blank dummy scenery folder for the ftxcentral v4 top insertion point. (Refer to the readme in the RTMM Add-on which has a step by step). Other than that, should have no problem.

Cigar Box Download for MFC:   Is found on the MFC site in the download section (after sign-on)
MFC Site Link: http://www.mistymooringsflyingclub.com/ 
*At least the free version of FSUIPC6 is required for Cigar Box connection to the sim.

(PS: You are Pilot MFC0059 in case you might have forgotten..lol)
Welcome back.

Norm

Sorry for 3rd post, now is everything  ok, RTTM and ORBX+Tongass work as charm and first pirep is filed after cca two years :)

Anyway, this is mu first flight with floatplane Milviz Beaver in P3DV5, and my landing on water is too bad cca -400 landing rate, landing on land is ok cca -100 landing rate, do you have any tips for better landing on
water ?

Thanks !

Igor

Yes, The 40 Tongass terrain entries still have to be set up into the P3D terrain.cfg (readme in the tongass download and RTMM-once Tongass is done can run the Ai installer.

The complete Tongass and RTMM add-ons- just drop the main extracted folder into your designated documents\prepar3d v5 add-ons folder) and when the sim is started, it will read the xml files and give you option to enable them in your sim.

Don't really need to edit anything except the terrin.cfg (for tongass), run the ai traffic module that Rod built and set up the Orbx central insertion points, then all of it is complete.

(The dummy folder is too ensure that the orbx blocks stay where they are supposed to stay, with 3rd party stuff staying above Orbx airports/region the dummy folder. 
Orbx airports/regsion placed below "the dummy scenery folder".  (If the insertion points are not set up things get a bit buried by Orbx stuff).  All the important stuff is in the add-on install folder. 

I see your 1st pirep. Nice work Igor. Welcome back!

(Land on water can be tricky.. but you'll get back into having soft hands on that stick!!) Takes practice!

Norm

Pireps are coming through ok.. but run Cigar Box as administrator.
 (Set it up to always run as administrator).

Hmmm, ok. - If you go to the program location - find kACARSII - MistyFlyingClub.exe > right click, Compatability > Change settings for all users >clic run the program as administator.

Also suspecting that your anti-virus might be retarding it. Can you add an exception for the cigar box folder.

"Scenery Title: RTMM Ryan's Cabins
File: "C:/Users/Doksas/Documents/Prepar3D v5 Add-ons/RTMM Add-on (P3Dv5)/05-RTMM Addon Scenery/Ryan's Cabins/scenery/AF2_RSFC.bgl"

Yes I get that too.. like something with the scenery.bgl that LNM can't scan.  (I just removed it and redid the scan without it.).

Just finish two flights, still there is problem with Cigar box "Unhandled exception has occured in your application" ( yes, added exception on antivirus and run as administrator) but nevermind, pireps work :)

Now,I'm starting to hate Milviz Beaver, for cruise flight (without autopilot off course) with cca 2000 RPM and 20 MP  trim at max down is a must and for landing max up, this is first plane who doing things in this way for my 10 years simulations.

Norm and others pilots, do you have a recommendations for really good P3D v5.2 float plane payware ?

Igor
