Shez - The only P3Dv4 element that needs to be updated to get the latest P3D version is Client.  The other two are optional, but recommended.  I don't believe there's an issue with what you stated.  I assume P3Dv4.3 is working fine for you... correct?

Edit:  In my installation the Client is 4.4, all others are 4.2 and P3D works like a charm.

Yes sir. Thanks for the confirmation.

If you do not install the "Content" you won't get the updated PBR aircraft and a few new aircraft.

Looks and performs better than 4.3.

Thanks for the quick guide. I have a quick question regarding updating the client to P3D 4.4. In the individual component list I noticed a file that wasn't there before: NDP472-KB4054530-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe

Is this file important to download if I am only updating client file or is it needed for content/scenery component install or can it be ignored ?

Thank you Elaine.

I just switched to v4.4. OH BOI is it heavy on ram. I guess minimum is 8gb now. On average with the PMDG T7 I use about 7gb/8.
