Hi Marco,

I am very interested in the INS being updated for Lockheed-Martin's P3D v4 - 64-bit.

It's is being released  tomorrow - 30th May - and you can find all the latest info here. No SDK yet but hopefully not too long.

My primary use of the INS is with FS Labs Concorde-X. They have not given a firm commitment to update Concorde just yet as I suspect they are reliant on the INS being compatible. They are also prioritising their A320.

If you can provide one it would be greatly appreciated not just by me but by all Concorde lovers.

Kind regards.

Hi Marco,

I hope it's not too complex and you can produce a version. Without a compatible INS we'll never have Concorde in 64-bit P3D.

I can't tell you how devastating that would be for us. Fingers crossed you can deliver.  

Kind regards.

Hello Marco,

You may be interested to know that the P3D v4 SDK is now available to download free of charge. It can be found here:-

I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will be a relatively straight-forward job for you. Should you decide to charge for a 64-bit version that would be fine by me.

Hi Marco,

I don't wish to become a nuisance but could you confirm if you've seen the SDK for P3D v4 please?

Thanks.

Hi Marco,

Nice to hear from you. I was getting a little worried.  

Good luck with the compilation. I hope it's reasonable straight-forward. Please keep us informed of your progress. A lot of Concorde lovers are praying you can come up with the goods.  

Hi Marco,

I'm encouraged by the fact you have already converted software to 64-bit. At least CIVA isn't your first exercise!  

And I don't wish to underestimate the complexity. I just live in hope.  

Hello Ray,

some good, some bad.

Looks like the free version of VS2015 requires registration and login to the Microsoft "cloud". I don't like that so, at least presently, I abandoned it and reverted back to VS2010.

Tried to compile it and got back tons of warnings and errors, as expected.
I briefly went through them all and, especially warning messages, are a lot, but grouped together into 8~9 big "families, so actually 8~9 warning messages have to be considered and eventually fixed.
Errors are quite few. Some are due to incompatibilities P3DV4 introduces, some are not but I haven't analyzed them yet so I don't know how hard will be to fix them. Consider I must maintain backward compatibility, at source code level, with the 32bit version, so changes have to be carefully studied and implemented.

At the end I must say I have a positive feeling at the moment so, time permitting, I'll keep fighting  . I'll keep posting in this thread any relevant news.

I'm currently looking for a good freeware jetliner supporting P3DV4 to be used for testing. No payware and non too complex. Any suggestion?

I had a quick email exchange with Lefteris.
As far as I know, and as you wrote, they are giving higher priority to A320 conversion, so no hurry.

When (and if) CIVA64 gauge will see the light I'll inform him.

Hi Marco,

I asked the question about suitable aircraft for you to use for testing and one kind person recommended a freeware 727-200 built for FSX but should be fine in P3D v4. This is the link to the download.

If you don't have an account let me know and I'll download it and send it to you privately if you provide an address.

Hi Marco. I don't have v4 so can't confirm. But the person who recommend it felt there was nothing in it that should prevent it working with V4.
