Correct method for adding p3dv4 aircraft to p3dv5

[jfmitch 33]

I have two aircraft that Carenado says are P3DV5 compatible. When I try to wonder if someone could help me understand what goes where to install. I am given only PvDV2 to PVDV4 to select.  I have tried selecting my own(P3Dv5) and v4 pointing to P3DV5 as the location. The aircraft loads in various places within the A drive and the G drive where P3DV5 is situated.   The aircraft does not show up in P3D when turned on.  I am wondering if someone could help me understand what goes where to use these aircraft. I'm an old fellow 77 who recently suffered a blow to his head after having a stroke so forget everything I do after I've done it.

I find this works perfectly for aircraft and scenery:

Jim,

You are on the right track to point your Carenado installer to your P3D v5 directory.

Once installed, you'll need to run an exe file from Carenado to make the aircraft compatible with P3D v5.

Here is the link to their instructions:

You will find the link to the P3D v5 patch in step 4 of their procedure.

Good luck!
