P3D v5 prep how to move the add-ons?

Featured Replies

For FS2Crew users, please do not try to manually move anything over into P3D v5.

Wait for our installers.

UGCX and RAAS currently have P3D V5 installers.

Wait for the rest please.

If you try manually installing things, things will likely go to pot.

Best,

Hi folks,

More interesting developments with the new P3D V5 Hotfix 5.0.24.34874. After installing it today the majority of add-on airports (which worked fine before the hotfix) now no-longer work at all with it. Anyone else had issues?

I suspect either a texture format incompatibility issue, as the ORBX official V5 sceneries work fine, but I am not sure. I am having to go through one-by-one and test airports to see if they will load. For example, the old UK2000 Vol 1 and 2 worked fine in P3D before the hotfix but now not. Some custom ADE builds dont work either so a shame I can no longer use them it seems. 😞

Basically, if I add one that it doesn't like P3D crashes at the first load screen, where it reads in the scenery (the scenery update bar doesn't even appear).

OK, so here is the recipe how to link your old V4 addon packages and scenery to V5

  1. Copy "C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\add-ons.cfg" to "C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\add-ons.cfg"
  2. Use P4AO to add a DiscoveryPath to V5, pointing to "C:\Users\...\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons"
  3. Use P4AO to import your V4 scenery.cfg as a new addon package (there is a button for that on the "Backup/Restore" tab).

That's about it. 

This will not affect addons that don't have an add-on.xml, which will mostly be aircraft, shader- or texture replacements.

Best regards

Looks like you have a broken scenery area somewhere. Impossible to tell without seeing the actual file(s).

(Btw, with these error messages, the whole part below "Loaded assemblies" is irrelevant.)

Moderators, can you please move that post to the Lorby Freeware Support form? Many thanks!

Best regards

Now, I have seen another problem after import the scenery.cfg or discovery form the p3dv4 add-on folder, my p3dv5 fail to loading, it started to run and then close itself. I tried to remove all the add-on, and try to add individual ones but still not helpful, when ever I tried to add one of the sceneries (non-orbx) that works fine in the p3dv4, the p3dv5 won't load and close it. anyone knows why?  I have both sim installed still

Look at the addons xml file for the scenery.  If it has the Description field blank, it will not load in V5.
