June 9, 20214 yr So I know how to update P3D itself. What I am still confused on is how to do it without having to reinstall all your add on's. I have a ton of scenery that is outside of P3D, some inside to include base Orbx stuff like global, vector and OpenLC inside. For planes, FSL is outside but PMDG is inside. How do I do this so I don't muff it up and wind up having to start from scratch? Thank you Eric
June 9, 20214 yr Best way I have found is using Lorby addon organiser. You can disable all addons then update and either enable them all back again, or take it easy adding a few at a time, probably some will need an update. Any that are installed into the p3d folder though, will have to probably be installed again.

I have been doing this during the entire beta program and I never had to re-install any add-on during the process. Be aware ActiveSky will need an update, by Hi-Fi is on top of things.. I am sure they will update soon. FSL always needs an update too I think, so you can just disable that add-on temporally until they release the update. PMDG just works fine with 5.2, I tested all their stuff with 5.2 for months. Regards, R. Oficial Website: https://www.FSReborn.com Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/XC82TqvKQ3
June 9, 20214 yr The P3D installers won’t touch your add ons. Full stop. The only exceptions are for things like texture packs that replace default files.

And the orbx stuff inside the sim will need to be reinstall or no? Eric

Ah, so all the Orbx base stuff will need to be reinstall then, got it. Edited June 9, 20214 yr by B777ER Eric

Thank you btw! You will need to install 5.2 to a completely new directory. It's going to live in a separate silo from 4.X with its own add-on folders, etc.

Only if you update the P3D scenery module to v5.2 (doesn't look like there's much reason to) *and* you have the Orbx FTX Global base scenery installed into the P3D root folder the old-fashioned way (e.g. not in an external library). If you only replace the client module, or if you install the v5.2 scenery module and have your Orbx stuff installed in libraries, your scenery (including the Orbx stuff) should be left unmolested.

June 9, 20214 yr I expect that I would have to re-initialize EnvTex if I do the Content update (because of new runway textures). If I do the Scenery update. Will my scenery.cfg and terrain.cfg files be touched (and changed)? Karl i9-9900K@5,0 | 32GB 3200 | 2080TI | 4K 55" | MSFS | P3D V5
