July 13, 20178 yr Folks, I'm trying to minimize all the inconveniences and other hassles related to V3-V4 transition and my question related to PMDG products is whether it's possible or not to merely copy-and-paste the configuration files and textures' folders for NGX/777/747 once V4 clean install is done. Thanks Dmitriy Toropov 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.
July 13, 20178 yr No, you need to use the proper installer for V4 to make PMDG aircrafts work. The DLLs in the gauge folder must be updated to 64bit, so copying the files will not work. Regards, Chris -- PC: Intel 13900K, Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090, 64GB Fury Beast DDR5 RAM; Display: Varjo Aero VR

Chris, I'm not talking about the gauges, rather about configuration files for each livery and simple textures files. I'm not sure that these have something to do with DLL. Would appreciate if PMDG stuff respond.

Don, It's not a cry for help per se, rather seeking an opinion for quick workaround (I have literally several dozens of textures). And I'm pretty sure that if I post an official ticket, the response will be "re-create everything from the scratch to avoid possible abnormalities" :-) Anyway, thank for a tip.

July 13, 20178 yr In this case you may backup the whole installation and just try if it works. Regards, Chris -- PC: Intel 13900K, Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090, 64GB Fury Beast DDR5 RAM; Display: Varjo Aero VR
July 14, 20178 yr They might even be reluctant to support a configuration that was built with a mish-mash of a normal install and copy/pasting of files (should you resort to having to open a trouble ticket). Although it's more work, I'm setting everything up in the new sim from scratch....otherwise when you hit an odd issue you'll always have that odd feeling in the back of your mind, "Did my manual overwrites cause this issue?".
