Good afternoon all

I am trying to install activesky for prepar3dv5.1   and am having the worse time       I have my sim in the d drive on it own so when it asks for a path i select  D:Prepar 3D v5   

the install runs it asks for my code which i enter and then it gives me the following error

Prepar3d location not found         We are unable to locate the required files 

i knida need a step by step way to install this. any help would be great

thanks

Selecting the root drive for P3D v5 should be straightforward. Are you typing the entry or just selecting the root folder?

Hi

 I am selecting the prepar3d V5 folder in my D drive                  and that is when the loop begins

Can you provide a screenshot of Windows Explorer showing that folder? Can you see Prepar3D.exe in it?

I’ve never known anyone to have this problem.

Sorry     i am not that computer smart 

 

i can give you the steps i am taking and what happens 

ok in my prepar3d folder i have the following exe file

 

Prepare3d.exe

and prepare3d.exe.config

That looks okay. I think you’ll have to ask on the Active Sky forum.

I did ask for the version. Does it say it’s compatible with P3D v5?

ok  i think it is called B7877

That’s not an Active Sky product. Sounds more like a Boeing 787 aircraft.

I cannot find an Active Sky product on Flight1. Hi-Fi sell it on their own website.

Please provide a full name of the product you have purchased. It will be on the receipt.

Hi,

Flight1 do sell the activesky program. The number the OP is quoting is the official full version No: 7877. Those that have been using Activesky are probably using the beta version which is 8054

As to why is won't install, I am not sure. One for their support forum.

Cheers Brian

I would download the 8054 beta version from active sky downloads page. The version you are using may not be compatible with p3d 5.3.
