Do any of these addons work already with 5.1hf1, particularly pmdg, Leonardo, fslabs and Majestic? I want to make sure I don’t have 2 sims without complex airliners, even if it’s just for a short time 😎

Cheers,

Pete

leonardo is working on one and I understand it's in beta testing.  So the MD80 will not work.  Fslabs will need an update also since it's version locked to 5.1 non hotfix.

Quick test....still on MARS. very Orange/Red. 

It is a little confusing they do so less about the visible eye candy stuff. It is if the DEV has a fable for ugly 😉

You weren't a general in WW1 were you? Forward men, into the battle. Let me know how you get on. I'll be in the Officer's Mess.

This is nice:

Fixed various building, vegetation, and vehicle models that would blend incorrectly with clouds

If I install "client" and "scenery" will I destroy my libraries and owned scenery cfg?

Till now I installed client only or whole the sim (when the new update was out).

you can install without problems both. I would even suggest updating content as well

its been i nightmare for me i cant wait to uninstall it , however not before FSL and AS !!

[av8r13 15]

regarding updating, if i remember correctly, i only had 3 components in ver 4.5 (client, content and scenery). with ver 5.1 i have 4 entries, now with a generic LM P3dv5 Professional entry. i have always updated by uninstalling all 3 components. with ver 5.1 should i also uninstall the 4th file (LM P3dv5 Professional)?

no just the 3. the 4th entry is do remove everything when you want to uninstall the whole product

Bear in mind, especially if you have OrbX add-ons in use, this recomendation below, which comes from OrbX. There is also a thread at OrbX which you always schould take into account if you are updating P3D. Which says:

1. de-install P3D in the following order: - content, then scenery, then client and at least the Main app but don´t de-activate P3D

2. install the full P3D installer

3. Start P3D once and let it build the scenery database and indezies

4. De-install via OrbX scenery manager the global packages like Global base, vector, lybraries etc. and make a new re-install of those packages (This step is very important,        to prevent from CTD´s caused by missing or corrupted textures)

5. Perform a file verification for all regions like Europe, England etc. (a syncronization is not enough)

Start P3D an let it rebuild the scenery database

Then everything schould be fine.

For the Airports is no specific handling needed as they should work as they are.

Doing this, allways worked fine for me and decreases the possibility of CTD´s

BerndB, just to clarify, if we have ORBX we should uninstall all 4 components?

 

disregard, i just found the thread at the ORBX forum
