Sorry ,This may be very basic but what is "legacy mode " in p3d . Is this a p3d function of a fsx migration tool function.

Searched here and at p3d . Thanks in advance Pete

Hi Pete,

 

Legacy Mode is a function of a FSX migration tool. It creates files and folders that mimic FSX and fool non P3D compliant installers and programs to function like they would if FSX was actually installed.

Hmmm,

 

I never used that executable. Even though I have the Estonian Migration Tool and the Virtual FSX enabled, I always start P3D through the default launcher icon.

 

Should I use the Legacy Mode icon instead???

Ok, thanks for the advice. I have to go back to the Estonia MT, I thought it was only of migrating 3rd part software into p3d  by setting up an emulation of fsx . ( which by the way works well for me )   I need to go back and read the migration tool manual. I must have made a mistake because i was under the impression you have to disable the virtual mode before running p3d. I'll go back and have a look , my mistake  . Thanks for pointing me in this direction.
