FSX to P3D transition help

Featured Replies

I recently purchased P3D and plan to move my extensive FSX installation over towards the new sim.

 

I installed P3D to a new separate SSD, and intend to move all my sim related software to this drive. As I start to install things to P3D, should I uninstall items from FSX on the other drive to prevent registry and file location issues? Trying to get things re-installed as clean as possible...

No need to uninstall anything from FSX, they both can live in parallel.

 

However, you should try to get Prepar3d3 compatible installers (triple...quadruple... installers) wherever possible. In some case you can try the Estonian Migration Tool (http://www.flightsim.ee/products/migration-tool) on the old FSX installers, which may or may not work. 

 

If you rellally want a clean installation, I'd suggest to download Prepar3d3 compatible installers (usually from the same place where you got the FSX versions) where available and only install these.

 

AirdailyX (http://www.airdailyx.net/fsnewsbreaker/) maintains a good list of working Prepar3d3 installers.

 

Kind regards, Michael

Hey Jason,

in a lot of cases - You can Just Drag and Drop - like Aircraft - directly from their folder in Fsx Simobjects to p3d Simobjects - just make sure the  gauges Effects and Sound follow correspondingly - the Aircraft that you may have problems with  are Non Native Fsx - or Fs9 aircraft that You may be running in Fsx - I have a lot of My Great old "Puddle Jumpers" in P3d - Good Luck - Johnman B)
