This is a hidden folder so you need to click the checkbox in the Win 8 explorer to show hidden files. BTW, this information can be found on the P3D website in their FAQ.

Thank You very much.

P3D is stable for me under Win 8 x64. The only problem with it is losing your joystick/yoke after about 20 minutes of flight or so. This can be fixed by using FSUIPC. The lost joystick issue is not specific to P3D. It is a Microsoft bug that they refuse to acknowledge.

i found the only way i could get prepa3d to run on windows 8 was to have it already installed on win 7 first then upgrade the operating system to win 8. a clean install on win 8 O/S refused to function for me!

I simply abandoned Win8 until P3D get's an installer for it. I also had problems running FSX there.

 

Win7 64 bit is still one of the best MS OS's IMHO...
