I recently went through and did the 4.2 update by removing the client, content, scenery etc.. then installing each.

Prior to doing this i had all carenado aircraft working perfectly in 4.1x.. all the craft are v4 ready etc.

I know that going through and reinstalling each aircraft one by one does seem to restore things, but i'm trying to recall what folder or files may have gotten removed that i could restore to save some added effort here?  I'm fearing even non carenado aircraft may have random things wrong that i may not realize as well.  

I have a backup of the simobjects folder before the update.. i was thinking i could just do a replace all on everything into the newer 4.2 simobjects folder and maybe this would fix everything, however i think it might also be texture, gauges, effects and sound at least?

Does anyone know off hand what would have been removed (IE: is it the simobjects folder and the others above), i'm guessing from doing the content uninstall?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I had this with Carenado when the programmatic gauges were missing (the .dll files belonging to the aircraft in the \Gauges\ simulator folder - or external reference, whichever you are using). This was usually accompanied by other issues as well, for example the mixture lever always jumping back to 0. But I always reinstalled them anyway, just in case that this is some kind of copy protection mechanism.

Best regards

Thanks for the reply.. so this is a typical result of doing the content uninstall / reinstall though? I didnt recall this happening going from 4.0 to 4.1 before.    I was trying to save several hours of reinstalling (i have a lot of aircraft etc).. also worries me that i did the scenery uninstall that maybe some files related to scenery that go in the main scenery folder are now lost/misconfigured.

 

So I opted to restore all the folders from the p3d root folder, pre update that I thought were involved. No change. These included gauages, textures, simobjects, sounds, fonts, etc

Maybe I missed one unsure
