A2A Free P-40 Accu sim

Where is the item in the cockpit I need?
Click to expand...

There is a handle to the right of the seat, and also a button on top of the control column. As John says, it¡s easiest to assign a key for the hydraulic pump, using the P40 input configurator menu accessed from your "recently added" menu. Please note that this refers to P3Dv4 - I can't comment on FSX. There is also a hydraulic pump setting available in the SHIFT+3 2D popup.

Oh here it is. So after raising gear you need to left click and hold this hand pump lever for a while.

No, for normal operation you want to use the electrical switch on top of the control stick to activate the hydraulics to raise/lower the landing gear and flaps. As such, it helps vastly to assign that function to a switch on your joystick, since in reality you wouldn't be looking down into the cockpit searching for that switch, you'd simply move your thumb up to the switch and press it in (after selecting gear or flaps up/down). This way too it keeps your right hand on the control stick the whole time, as in reality, without having to fiddle with the mouse.

In the P40 Input Configurator, that function is named "Hydraulic Pump Switch". I use a CH Products Fighterstick, and I have the function assigned to a thumb button at the top of the stick, in much the same position as on the control stick of the real aircraft.

The big manual lever on the right floor of the cockpit is in the event that there are no electrics, and is used in normal operation only as a final assurance check to make sure the gear is fully locked up/down after the indicators show them as such (if the lever doesn't move, you know they're locked).

As Jeff Ethell explains, this is all leftover 1930's technology. Some other aircraft of its generation, like most original AT-6's, had a similar system.
 
We are bringing their website to its knees. I tried to hit it twice now yesterday and today and its failing the handshake.

Of course they have cloudflare so that should be saving their server from death.

I tried to install it to P3D V3 not V4 and not having any luck getting it un packed.

The installer wants to default to the C" drive and I tried to install it to a Dummy folder so that I could

manually installed the unpacked files. What a mess.

Is there a way to install it to P3D V3.4? I wanted to make sure all the files are accounted for.


They offer two flavors.... FSX or P3D V4 and I am in the middle with P3D V3.......

EDIT: I created an FSX file directory structure and was able to unpack the exe file into

my pseudo fsx directory then populate folder/contents to P3D V3; It's all good. :encouragement:
 
Thank you so much again A2A! Just wanted to report that since last Friday I've logged just over 4 hrs flight time in the P-40!
 
Thank you very much A2A. The P-40 has been a favorite aircraft of mine since I was a little kid. I can't wait to get a copy and take a few flights and enjoy. Thank you again.
 
I've tried over an hour to get this plane, asking for new passwords, receiving handshake problems, etc. Trying to get A2A's help comes up with a message that the help service is not available. Disappointed.
 
Take a look....
