Will my process be from 5.2 direct to 5.3HF1+LF or will I be required to first upgrade to the basic 5.3 first and then to HF1? To go from 5.2 to 5.3 you also need to install content as well as client and scenery. I think I would probably add one more step to my process after uninstalling and reinstalling client to uninstall and reinstall content. Alternatively you can uninstall client (retain activation) and then uninstall content and scenery and then run the full installer but I suspect the full installer will reset all your settings. I'm not sure about that though.- perhaps someone else can comment.

Even favourites in the "vehicle" section were still marked as I had had them. Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM. Z170x Gigabyte m/b. 28" LG HD monitor. Win 10 Home. 500g Samsung 960 as Windows home. 1 Gb Mushkin SSD for P3D. GTX 1080 8gb.

Do not delete user generated files in order to retain your settings and addons.
January 9, 20224 yr Author I upgraded today. Well worth it. biggest chore was verifying all the orbx stuff. I have a few housekeeping odds and ends I'm running into but so far, my performance and appearance of 5.3 is WAAAAAYYYY better than I was getting in 5.2.
