Updating Content

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I would like to ask if anybody is aware whether the Prepar3D v4.2 content update can create any kind of problems to add-ons. According to Poppet at Prepar3D (https://prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=120861) the content update "will possible overwrite files like effects, Simobjects, sounds and textures that have been Modified by 3rd Party Software (Add On's) "

I have many payware add-on aircrafts, sceneries as long as utilities like FSFX Packages, GSX etc...  Is anyone aware if any of these can be affected? : )

I generally have found that updating Content and Scenery packages in the past have caused me the most problems.  So I either stick to Client only updates or do a clean install (which I haven't had to do since 4.0 yet.)
