Hi Mac,

Thank you very much for posting this question, as you have prompted me to install the PC-12 into Prepar3D, something I haven't really thought of doing, as I spend most of my time in Prepar3D flying the PMDG 737 NGX and the Carenado PA46T. And yes, I can report that the aircraft appears to be fully functional, the GPS works just fine too, as do the pop-up panels of the various instruments:

I went for a short flight around Zurich, everything appears to be working normally.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone would actually develop the latest NG version of the PC-12:

Actually one of my best ever real world flights was in a PC-12 from Naples, Florida, to Washington DC.

Cheers,

Jerome

can you post steps I tryed to install mine and did not get any of the mfd to show up. I talked to flight one and they pretty much told me to go pound sand and offered no help.

Good morning John,

Sorry to hear that you're experiencing some hiccups. I have Prepar3D setup with symbolic links, these are also known as an MLINK. Basically an MLINK makes any FSX installer believe that the software is being installed into FSX, when in reality it is being installed into the Prepar3D directory.

If you need any help with this let me know, and I'll run you through the necessary steps to set this up on your computer.

Best regards,

Jerome

I could install the PC12 ok but the upgrades are failing due to not pointing to FSX, so i woulld be great if we could have the syntax of the mklink. Thankyou
Jorge

Jan, I think we need a symbolic link in this case, not a hard link as in your explanation. We do not want to move anything. In which case I believe we would use the "d" switch not the "j".

Insufficient information

Hey Jerome, this is very good news and just could be the "magic bullet" that many of us are looking for. The people over at Orbx will be very happy if it will work for their scenery installations. Please, more info on MLINK.

PS: Thanks to you I have just found this LINK, Jerome. Is this what you are referring to? if so a short tutorial would be great..

Hi Mac,

Sorry, I've been very busy and haven't had time to look back at this thread any sooner. I'll try to post a mini-tutorial on Thursday during the day, as to how you can setup Prepar3D with the MLINK I mentioned...there are several of these that point to various directories and files (including normally hidden ones). More info during the day tomorrow.....

Best regards,

Jerome
