I believe I have read somwhere that this is possible. Currently I have v2.5 installed on a separate SSD in a folder named P3Dv2. I am going to install the new version on the same SSD but in a folder named P3Dv3. Is this possible without problems?

 

I also want to keep and use v2.5 for a couple of weeks until I do the final move. Are there any precautions I have to consider. Finally, is it possible to direct some addons (located in the P3Dv2 folder) to the new platform and how would I do this?

 

Every suggestion is welcome.

Hi Harry,

 

Yes V3 and V2.5 can install on the same computer without conflict.

 

As for using V2.5 3rd party software in V3, please read the PINNED topic here: http://www.avsim.com/topic/475537-installing-3rd-party-software-into-updated-versions-of-p3d/

 

This is a case by case basis unfortunately. Fortunately many 3rd party vendors are or have already updated their EULA's/installers. But if the vendor is around, it's best to check with them on V3 installation/migration process.

 

Cheers, Rob.

i kept in on a sep partition/hard drive.... given both my prepar3d's its own drive letter

Have both 2 and 3 on the same partition, until now without problems. Slowly moving my addons when they are ready for it. Then I have 2.5 fully functional, until 3 can take over with all my addons installed.

Aerosoft and Vidan design until now without problems, and 3 is way better, worth the money.
