June 9, 20214 yr Hi, I would like some clarity on upgrading. Some people say just reinstall the client file, but others say also the scenery. Can someone give me a really simple breakdown of the best upgrade process is (what to uninstall, install etc).

June 9, 20214 yr Author Thanks, I’ve read just to uninstall and reinstall Client but some people have said there are scenery updates and this also has to be updated...

It only states you should update the Client first followed by Content and/or scenery. Or do a complete un- and reinstall. Karl i9-9900K@5,0 | 32GB 3200 | 2080TI | 4K 55" | MSFS | P3D V5

June 9, 20214 yr I do the scenery update because of the improvements in Alaska. Karl Prepar3D Scenery Fixes and Improvements Updates to KRND, KLOU, KSDF, KEDW, and VETZ. Fixed several scenery and water issues in the northern arctic region, Senegal, Guatemala, Kauai, and Alaska. Fixed issue with jetways not moving in some cases. Fixed issues with SIDs displays of certain VORs. Correct Tacan X/Y frequencies. i9-9900K@5,0 | 32GB 3200 | 2080TI | 4K 55" | MSFS | P3D V5

June 10, 20214 yr I just installed the client only and shift + z does nothing. I checked the keyboard settings and it is correct. Any idea why shift + z may not work if only updating client?

June 10, 20214 yr Did all 3. Why not do all 3? First, uninstall Client; install new Client. Second, uninstall Content; install new Content. Third, uninstall Scenery; install new Scenery. Simple! Absolutely no problem. It should be as smooth as clockwork! Stan
