Thanks for the continued work on this. Really enjoying the new taxiing dynamics that came with the previous service pack.

I'm on of those with no water sounds, in FSXA on Win 7 64. Just installed this new SP. Still no water sounds. :-(

Everything else looks good though!

We're pretty sure that the water sound is system specific. Probably related to sound settings of some kind.

Unfortunately, we're not able to replicate this and that means... very hard to track it down and fix it.

Nonetheless, we will keep tabs on this one...

Try turning up the environment sound settings in the sim menu, see if there is a difference for you too.

Thanks Chuck for that suggestion. I tried, with interesting results. I'll report them in the "Water Sounds" thread, since I guess this report should have gone there in the first place...

Hi MilViz
Firstly thanks for the work you are doing to make the beaver compatible with P3DV4
I started up the configuration tool this morning and it reported a new version is available so I down loaded and installed.
I now have V1.1.015. I can report that the prop speed leaver now works correctly with my CH throttle.
The only remaining issue is the installer still does not locate the DLL.XML file
It still reports:
XMLTools64 Installer
========================
Sat Jun 17 13:53:52 2017


Prepar3D v4 found on this machine!!
XMLTools64.dll successfully installed in P3D v4 main folder !!
not found !!. Creating copy...
Cannot create DLL.XML - Folder not found !!
========================================
-Wrong User or folder corrupted. DLL.XML was not created.

-End of process-

For me at least, this is not an issue, due to help from this forum last week I was guided on how to manual add the required lines to the DILLXML
If it helps you find a solution to the the issue this is my config is:
1/ Windows 7 professional installed to d:/
2/ There is no DLL.XML file in the folder AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 on d:/
3/ There is a DLL.XML file in the folder d:/ProgrameData/LockheedMartin/Prepar3dV4 folder.
4/ it is the Dll.XML file in d:/ProgrameData/LockheedMartin/Prepar3dV4 folder. that I added the lines to as recommended by Tom

I wonder if the reason the installer is not working for me is because my boot drive is D:/ rather than the more traditional c:/?

Best wishes
Bob
