Will I have to reinstall everything from my one month subscription?

Everyone seems to be missing the point though that non-P3D stuff is not "deleted" at all. It will remain intact for later use.

And there is your answer - even if you DO uninstall and reinstall - your 3rd party stuff will remain. As long as you reinstall P3D in the same folder, you should be just fine.

 

IIRC, I did have to reinstall some ORBX stuff to get the files linked up roperly, but other scenery and al my aircraft were just fine.

Huh, so "non-P3D" stuff that is installed inside the P3D folder will not be "deleted" when you uninstall P3D....?

The only addons that will need re installing is stuff that modifies the default files, things like FTX Global, FTX Vector etc.

I guess I will know in the next 5 minutes.

 

The thought of having to do all of this crap all over again next month was weighing over me and besides I want to keep putting more scenery and crap in.

 

sooooo.. I bit the bullet and bought the academic license and installing it. 

 

I'll let you know what happens.  I have lots of time, and this way I can load it up with all my favorite scenery and then be done and not worry about it anymore.

Wow! GOOD NEWS

 

I didn't have to MODIFY OR DO ANYTHING!

 

I had to uninstall p3d version that I had. 

I did that through uninstall manager 

then installed the new version

started it up and EVERYTHING WORKED

I didn't have to copy my old files over or anything.

So there is my answer!

That is correct. P3D can only remove files it knows about.

Someone should change the title of the thread from prescription to subscription, lol.

 

Unless of course you can get your Dr to prescribe P3D, lol.

Done! I hadn't even noticed the thread title until you mentioned it Jim!
