Looking for IRIS T-6 support

samwisevt · Post by **samwisevt** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 7:05 pm

Hey all-
I'm looking where to ask for support for the IRIS T-6A that comes with P3D. I am unable to extend flaps or retract landing gear. And I am often getting a HYD FL LO annunciator but have no knowledge on how to adjust fluid level within P3D. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Sam

I had this issue also. I fixed it by changing to another aircraft and back. I have Lionheart's DA-40. There may be something in the fxml file. I don't know what, but look in the controls section - see if anything looks funny.

There is also a speed check - where the gear will not extend at too high a speed.

Ron-
Thanks for the info. Are you referencing one of the main sim XMLs, or one for the aircraft itself?

Also, as a side note...I apologize for putting this under the F-22 thread. There is no T-6 thread in the default aircraft support forum for whatever reason, and I figured since the F-22 was also made by IRIS it would fit the best.

V/r,
S

Let me also add that I can't even get the thing to start properly...I had to go into Slew Mode, get some altitude, then turn off Slew to get the engine running. When I go through the start up checklist, I just hear the starter cycle over and over again...

Check your fuel gauge. Look in the Fxml file for the fuels tanks. Turbo props have trouble, when you change aircraft. I put ALL fuel takes to 100%. I was able to start the T-6 from a cold start using the checklist.

The fxml file is in C:\Users\,your NT login>\Documents\Prepar3D v2 Files.

Look in Previous Flight.fxml (or your saved flight) file at the section:

<Section Name="Fuel.0">
<Property Name="TankSelector" Value="All" />
<Property Name="TankSelector1" Value="All" />
<Property Name="Center" Value="100" />
<Property Name="LeftMain" Value="59.708" />
<Property Name="RightMain" Value="59.708" />
<Property Name="LeftAux" Value="100" />
<Property Name="RightAux" Value="100" />
<Property Name="LeftTip" Value="100" />
<Property Name="RightTip" Value="100" />
<Property Name="Center 2" Value="100" />
<Property Name="Center 3" Value="100" />
<Property Name="External 1" Value="100" />
<Property Name="External 2" Value="100" />
</Section>

I tried all that, still nothing.
I follow the checklist and spool up the starter. When I disengage the engine cutoff handle I see fuel flow on the AEDD increase, but N1 stays at 12% and the starter sound just cycles.

Scratch my last. I managed to make it so I can start using the checklist, but I still have the HYD FL LO annunciator so I cannot use any hydraulic services, like raising the landing gear. Is there anywhere that I can make sure P3D is detecting a full 5 quarts of oil?

I have the same HYD indicator. but my flaps and gear work - Max speed 120 for Gear - perhaps flaps to TO will help with speed

Hey guys

I had the same problem. I found by doing the following the issue was resolved.

Go to the in-game key config. Find "repair and refuel" assign the key "Shift+Ctrl+r".

Before you do any of the start up, press "Shift+Ctrl+r".

Sometimes you need to press "Shift+Ctrl+r" then save the game, then reload it again. Not sure why this happens though.

It's also important to follow the startup check list to a tee.

Thanks Spike11, this is a good tip. Would help on all turbine aircraft that have starting issues.

Using the "Looking for IRIS T-6 Support", is there any way I can get a usable HUD display for the T-6 without having to purchase the T-6 from IRIS?

I find its strange they haven't included it in the P3D aircraft.

Two weeks later and no response from anyone, even IRIS are quiet.

Hi Nigel,

Its the variants. The version provided by IRIS for P3D is the T-6A and the variant when purchased is T-6B&C.
HUD and digital cockpits was not upgraded until Variant B came out.

T6-A does not have a HUD, only the B/C!
