September 30, 201510 yr Hi, I am going for V3 thats for sure ( VAS VAS killer i hear ) but i am not in the mood for a clean W10 installation right now. I have a 1TB HDD for v2.5 and about 750 gb free. Can i drop V3 in a "P3Dv3" folder on same HDD and install add-ons as they gets compatible ? Eventually i will uninstall everything related to 2.5 and keep V3 (defragged ) on the drive Thanks Michael Moe Michael Moe
September 30, 201510 yr Michael, it shouldn't make any difference whether it's the same disk or not, as long as: A. If you do use the same disk you should obviously use a different folder. B. There is adequate space free on your chosen disk. :smile:

September 30, 201510 yr Well `yes` if the addon allows for duplicated installations into different sims on the same computer. Otherwise it's either/or, assuming compatibility with V3. EULA-specific, I'd say. As to whether that can even be discussed here: http://www.avsim.com/topic/475537-installing-3d-party-software-into-updated-versions-of-p3d/

As to whether that can even be discussed here: http://www.avsim.com/topic/475537-installing-3d-party-software-into-updated-versions-of-p3d/ I realize there has been a lot of buzz lately about EULA and how it pertains to users wanting to install their add-ons into multiple sims. The way I see it for the OP, if he has v2.5 of P3D installed and will upgrade to V3, it's still the same simulator platform. -Jim Engage, research, inform and make your posts count! -Jim Morvay Origin EON-17SLX - Under the hood: Intel Core i7 7700K at 4.2GHz (Base) 4.6GHz (overclock), nVidia GeForce GTX-1080 Pascal w/8gb vram, 32gb (2x16) Crucial 2400mhz RAM, 3840 x 2160 17.3" IPS w/G-SYNC, Samsung 950 EVO 256GB PCIe m.2 SSD (Primary), Samsung 850 EVO 500gb M.2 (Sim Drive), MS Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit

And so Avsim too. Maybe you should read this once more: Installing 3rd Party Software into Updated Versions of P3D

I wasn't making any call for anyone, I just merely expressed my view, yeesh! -Jim Engage, research, inform and make your posts count! -Jim Morvay Origin EON-17SLX - Under the hood: Intel Core i7 7700K at 4.2GHz (Base) 4.6GHz (overclock), nVidia GeForce GTX-1080 Pascal w/8gb vram, 32gb (2x16) Crucial 2400mhz RAM, 3840 x 2160 17.3" IPS w/G-SYNC, Samsung 950 EVO 256GB PCIe m.2 SSD (Primary), Samsung 850 EVO 500gb M.2 (Sim Drive), MS Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit
