Does it work in 5.4? If it does, you have a customer right here! ;-)

Re: SR-71 for P3D
It does indeed. The RSO cockpit is quite basic in terms of functionality but it does have the RSO optical viewsight with two magnifications, and a ground mapping radar, waypoint distance to go countdowns and a couple of other minor bits.
Re: SR-71 for P3D
I will. Now I have have to dig out Paul Varn's operating manual (for the real a/c, included with his FSX version) from flightsim.com...

Re: SR-71 for P3D
Paul Varn's manual, I seem to remember, explained the dipsy-doodle in great detail, but now I can't seem to find the zip file that contains it on flightsim.com, since they have changed their file system.
A great movie on Youtube, a talk at Lawrence Livermore by SR-71 driver Maj. Brian Shul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFJMs15sVSY
and his RIO, Col. Walter Watson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGUGm0PCalc
and another SR-71 driver, Maury Rosenberg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5nSKLyrM1s
and I could go on and on and on... ;-)

PS, and I really almost forgot what I started this post for: when I unzip the SR-71, I get, apart from the folders Effects and Airplanes, 3 xml files - where should they go?

Re: SR-71 for P3D
I have the full manual in book form :-). it's huge......
This one comes with quite a detailed manual and has pretty much everything you need, including ascent and descent and the dipsy-doodle.
Regarding the files... if you have the 2022 version it should come with an installer? That should sort everything out.
I also got the air-to-air refueling working too.
Check out this link for instructions.

Re: SR-71 for P3D
I have the 2022 version, just bought it today.
When I run the installer (same as I do with all installers) I install to a temporary folder, as things are not located in the default locations on my system. For instance, P3D is located in H:\P3D V5.
So, in this temporary folder, I have an Effects folder and an Airplanes folder, plus an uninstaller, no problems with those. But, I also have 3 "loose" dll (not xml files, sorry about that) files in that folder, those I would like a destination for:
XMLTools.dll
XMLTools3D.dll
XMLTools64.dll

Re: SR-71 for P3D
Aaah. I see. I'll do a search on my system for them.
These are for the TEB counters.
The installer should install in the correct places if you pick the sub folder as I believe the file paths are relative from point of insertion that you select.
If you have Orbx wares then there is actual a XML tools installer freebie in Orbx central that might make it easier. In fact, I think you need to install that anyway...
I couldn't figure out where to get it from, but spotted it on Orbx a few months and remembered one day that I needed it but couldn't remember why so just installed it...
Then one day I was flying the SR-71, got up to about 30k ft... and fell out of the sky... couldn't figure out why then discovered I was out of TEB! The TEB counters were at zero!

Re: SR-71 for P3D
Actually just found them. They are in the root directory of the P3D folder:
Re: SR-71 for P3D
Makes sense! I'll stick them in there, and then get around to re-learning to fly the beast. It's been a couple of years.
Thanks a lot -

Re: SR-71 for P3D
No problem, thanks for those links BTW, I'll check them out when the kids have gone to bed!
