January 9, 20179 yr I am with FSX and want to change for P3D. Any conflict to have both on the same computer. I want FSX just the time I will be ok with P3D. I know I will need to buy some new planes like the 737 from PMDG. Pierre Dupuis
January 9, 20179 yr Hi Pierre, Maybe this will help. I have not read but according to the title it seems to be relevant to yours question: http://www.avsim.com/topic/445952-performing-a-fsxp3d-dual-install/ Romain Roux Avec l'avion, nous avons inventé la ligne droite. St Exupéry, Terre des hommes.
January 9, 20179 yr I've got them both installed with no issues Same here, P3D and FSX:SE both installed with no problems. Several addons are also shared between them. -Patrick Kazmierczak Prepar3D, FSX, FSX-SE, X-Plane 10 Specs: AMD [email protected], 16gb ram, EVGA GTX970FTW+, Windows 10
January 9, 20179 yr hello, The 2 sims are totally independent. I have them on the same computer with no issues at all. My gallery: http://s1075.photobucket.com/albums/w430/yankeegolf/
January 9, 20179 yr Hello Pierre: Just to confirm what many have said, I have installed the three sims (FSX, X-Plane and P3D - the last one three days ago) on one drive andthey are all happily doing their thing. X-Plane is so "out there", that it has had its own add-ons developed and you install them according to their instructions. Having read the instructions for some add-ons that work on both FSX and P3D, and having read the comments in this forum, I have created separate folders for the respective add-ons. For example "IVAO-FSX" and "IVAO-P3D", "VPilot-FSX" and "Vpilot-P3D", even if it meant just copying the add on onto the different folder. Then I install all the FSX ones from the FSX folders and the P3D ones from the P3D. Today I was wonderfully surpirsed to find out that 99% of my FSX sceneries, work in P3D. And yes, I bought the PMDG B737-800 for P3D and it works fine with all my GoFlight modules. You will enioy both ( or the three) of them. Roberto Roberto Stopnicki Toronto, Canada

February 12, 20179 yr I have seen the same thing, but you have to wait at least ten seconds for the other sim to totally terminate. Ron Service Ron Service .
