I loaded the Viscount folders on to P3D and it works but no plane sound.  ATC sound is OK and other aircraft types sounds are OK.  The Viscount sounds are OK on FSX.  I just copied the FSX install folders to P3D.  Mayb that was wrong.  But the Fly Away install wizard didn't give me a P3D option.

Different issue.  Just tried to load Fly Away Sim Vickers Viking to P3D.  The whole plane is transparent except nav lights (Internal and external.  Any clues?

Try lowering your slides, autogen, shadows, clouds and AI.
The aircraft you are using may be graphic intensive and need more "power" from your video card.

Did help.  I'm running a GFX 1070 with 8GB so it should be good.  But I reduced everything to minimum but still an invisible plane.

Nice card, should be good.
I don't have P3D but it's based on FSX.
See if there is a box Directx with a checkmark in it, if so take out the checkmark.
It would be in the tab that you see what aircraft you want to choose.
Maybe they hid it so look aroung that tab.
Also check the Graphics tab.
