Moderators Note 

Only the Client Installer is required to update with the Hotfix 1,   Follow the steps to update with the Client  (In this order) 

 

Note: You need to Uninstall the existing Client First.   I have Included Images in the links 

1)  Navigate to your Control Panel,  Right Click on  Prepar3D v4 Academic \ Professional Client  Click Uninstall 

      You will now be prompted an Option  "Are you sure you want to Uninstall the Client"  Click Yes

     You will then be given an option to  "deactivate Prepar3D v4 or not",  Click No,  By doing this you will not be required to reactive your License after the Client update    

 

2) Sign into your Prepar3D Purchased Downloads fill out the Customer Account Information with your Email address and Account Password

    Click the little + to expand the Component Installers,  The Client is a stand alone Installer, Click on  Install_Client.msi to download 

 

3)  Navigate to your PC Downloads, Right click on the new Install_Client.msi click Install 

 

4)  Confirm the update was successful,  Launch Prepar3D  Click Help >  About Lockheed Martin, Here you can confirm you have the most recent version of Prepar3D v4

Making the ICAO selection the default and moving it to the top of the Select Airport screen is a nice-to-have improvement to the customer experience.

Any idea whose add-ons may have troubles?

I don't have access to my P3D account right now.  Did LM push it as a small download, or does it still involve uninstalling the old client and installing the new client?  I think most of us prefer just to download a small update.

The normal ones. The same thing happened in v3.

Namely Active Sky and Orbx objectflow always need updates.
