P3D v5.2 hf1 Win10 how to avoid the use of Onedrive?

[Emile 28]

Hello, 

My internet connection is NOT very performant If seams that my P3D uses Onedrive . (Onedrive/documents) 

Is it possible to avoid that P3d  uses  OneDrive? 

BUT I use OneDrive as backup for other files and folders...

 

Thanks in advance

You may be able to exclude the Prepar3d Addons Folder, maybe this link may help?

Sounds like your Documents folder is mapped to OneDrive. The Documents folder is where P3D stores its add-ons and flight plans and scenarios. To change this, see https://prox.dev/p3d-moving-addon-folder-or-adding-another-one/ for an explanation of how to change this. Best wishes!

Hey,

in your OneDrive Settings there is a setting "Backup/Sicherung" and "Manage Backups"

Untick "Document" folder. Worked well for me.

 

Cheers

Just disconnect your internet when installing P3D. It should install to a default "Local Drive - Documents Folder".

Once you have installed then you can reconnect your internet in order to activate the software

Hope this helps
