Version 3 on same HDD as 2.5 ?

[Michael Moe 495]

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, 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.

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:

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.

I think the developers will disagree. And so Avsim too. Maybe you should read this once more:

Developers get to decide if they agree or disagree. It's most certainly not up for Mr. Morvay to make the call for them.

I wasn't making any call for anyone, I just merely expressed my view, yeesh!

Actually you did exactly that.
