Hi, just switch to Prepar3D for now from FS2004. Everything works but cannot make VATSIM work. As I checked online some managed to run SB4 with Prepar3d but no details.
Maybe here somebody had good experience with SB4 and Prepar3d.
Thanks,
Denis
Are you running squawk box on a different PC to P3D?
If it's anything like FSX, then squawk box is configured different to what it was with FS2004. You need to use simconnect (part of FSX) rather than FSUIPC.
Just a thought.

H Sean, just downloaded guide for simconnect so will give a try. SB4 on separate computer. Never used simconnect. Thanks!
Denis
SimConnect is a programming interface, like FSUIPC, so its use is transparent to the user. If my memory serves me correctly, FSUIPC 4 uses SimConnect to communicate with FSX.
I haven't heard confirmed reports of users being able to log on AND see other traffic using SB4/P3D, but I haven't tried myself. One way I've been able to trick some installers is to duplicate the prepar3d.exe file and rename it fsx.exe (in the same directory). If I remember correctly, that tricks most installers into working once you point to the Prepar3d directory.
Robert,
Will the p3d/fsx fooling program used to install fsx sceneries into p3d work?
It's definitely possible. I'd be interested to hear if anyone gets it to work.
I was able to run SB4 on Prepar3D. Works well and I switch to Prepar3D now from FS2004. The only problem I cannot fly above FL370. Looks like PM problem when autopilot ON. The plane just turns Revers and goes down as soon as goes above FL370. Not sure.
