Hi all,
I am slowly reinstalling various planes into my P3D hangar after I switched to v3 (and uninstalled v2).
As some may know, P3Dv3 brings back some clickability in the virtual cockpits of the planes in FS9 format (these were not clickable at all in P3Dv2).
However, it's only for the switches which are modelled in 3D. 2D switches are still inactive....
Anyways, today I wanted to test an FS9 plane, so I reinstalled Manuele Villa's C-202 Folgore, which is one of the few FS9 planes I could remember having 3D switches.
Aaaand.... it works
The cockpit looks quite nice with the shadows inside. There are just three textures that are are a bit problematic:
- the canopy glass which is opaque in exterior view
- the canopy glass is a bit too dirty in the cockpit
- the prop texture in external view could be a bit more transparent.
And that's all !
In the cockpit, almost everything works, enough to start the plane from cold&dark. There are very few 2D switches in that cockpit, 90% is in 3D so 90% (or more) works correctly
Now I'll continue exploring my archive hardisk to check if I have other FS9 planes with 3D switches. I should have at least one or two additional planes from Manuele, and I'm also thinking about the Mig-21 from Ivan perhaps...
