It's coming at some point and I ask because, for example, when I use the QW757 which was installed initially in FSX, then reinstalled via EMT into P3DV2, I learned that if I don't keep EMT in Virtual FSX mode, my avionics in the QW757 will not display even when engines are running in P3D V2 scenario.  This of course suggests some 'entanglement' is happening so that if I uninstall FSX I may have troubles?  What do we know?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Noel

It may be looking for the "dummy" fsx.exe that EMT uses. One thing you can easily try - rename your main FSX folder and the folder where fsx.cfg resides and then try it, leaving EMT active.

 

I do not have FSX installed and have had no issues but I do not use the QW757.

In the EEMT manual it tells you exactly how to do when you do NOT have the tool installed.

I'll look again as I had looked there first but must have rushed thru the review.  Thanks for that...

I would disable the migration tool, uninstall the migration tool, then uninstall FSX.

Sounds reasonable John, thanks for that.  One thing that remains though is when I disable Virtual FSX in the migration tool, then run P3D V2 w/ the QW757 the avionics are missing.  I guess I could uninstall the QW first, then follow your approach, then reinstall EMT, then reinstall the QW?

I would ask this question at the EMT support forum.

Noel, sorry for not replying earlier, I have been away.

I am guessing a bit but I have read that some people with panel problems in p3d, have solved them by copying gauge files from the FSX installed place to the p3d equivalent place before deleting the FSX directory for a particular aircraft. I would have thought the EMT would do that automatically, but perhaps not.

I have not installed the QW757 so I can't help beyond that, I'm afraid.

Thanks John I will try that when I perform the task.  Right now I'm still fine as I have filled up less than 1/2 of my 500Gb SSD w/ FSX + lots of add ons and now P3D V2.  But the writing is on the wall so I should pick up a huge chuck of storage when I finally let go of FSX.
