I am aware of that, but as PMDG's MD-11 will not install in FSX-SE without installing MS FSX first, hence............... Rick Almeida

I have switched exclusively to P3DV4, but previously I was running FSX-SE on a new machine that had never had original FSX, and the MD-11 installed and ran just fine.

Good to know. But when I tried that route, it brought my P3Dv4 and Steam crashing and mess I had to clear up was not worth the hassles. Rick Almeida

Yes, at the time FSX-SE was the only sim installed. Not sure why it would affect a co-installed P3D, but it had no bad effect on Steam. As I recall, all I had to do prior to installation was insure that all legacy FSX simconnect files were in place.

October 21, 20178 yr Much as I'd like to get back in my PMDG MD-11, i guess like others who hope that aircraft will arise like a phoenix, I have given up hopes and moved on. It's P3Dv4.1 for me from now onwards. There are some quality P3Dv4 aircraft out there. Rick Almeida
