Hallo Piloten.
Ich habe vor eine Woche ein sehr starkes Windows 7 Profesionall Crash. Die Batterie auf den Mainboard die zuständig war für meine 😄 Festplatte (M2 Samsung SSD) war leer. Nacch Umtausch der Batterie war die 😄 Festplatte komplett wieder da aber Windows 7 startete nicht mehr. Eine wichtige Systemdatei war kapput. Alle Versuche Windows 7 zu retten mit alle Einstellungen funktionierte nicht. Ich habe Windows 7 Komplett neu installiert inklusive Updates. Es Funktioniert.

Ich hatte vorher folgende Ordner gesichert:
Prepard3D v4 Add-ons
Prepard3D v4 Files
Users_Julio_AppDataLocal
Users_JulioAppData_Roaming

P3D 4.5 inklusive aktuelle Hotfix habe ich auf eine 2TB SSD Plane noch komplett.

Meine Frage dazu:
Besteht die möglichkeit P3D und Orbx zu retten???

Ich werde dann alle anderen Airports von FlyTampa , FSDG, Flightbeam, Justsim nach und nach neu installieren.
Die Einträge in der Registry sind weg weil Windows komplett neu installiert würde. Auch in der Start-Leiste Programme sind die Eintragungen weg.

Bei der neue Installation hat Windows ein Ordner erzeugt Windows.old. Da sind auch einigen Sachen.
Bien bin den Nerven an Ende. Versuche Ich seit eine Woche mein Computer wieder einzurichten.

Bitte hilft mir. Viele Grüße.

Hello pilots.
I have a very strong Windows 7 Profesionall crash a week ago. The battery on the mainboard that was responsible for my 😄 hard drive (M2 Samsung SSD) was dead. After replacing the battery the 😄 drive was completely back but Windows 7 did not start anymore. An important system file was broken. All attempts to save Windows 7 with all settings did not work. I have reinstalled Windows 7 completely including updates. It works.
I had previously backed up the following folders:
Prepard3D v4 Add-ons
Prepard3D v4 Files
Users_Julio_AppDataLocal
Users_JulioAppData_Roaming
P3D 4.5 including current hotfix I have on a 2TB SSD disc still complete.

My question about this:
Is there a possibility to save P3D and Orbx???
I will then reinstall all other airports from FlyTampa , FSDG, Flightbeam, Justsim bit by bit.
The entries in the registry are gone because Windows would be completely reinstalled. Also in the start bar programs the entries are gone.
With the new installation Windows has created a folder Windows.old. There are also some things.
Bien am the nerves at the end. I have been trying for a week to set up my computer again.
Please help me. Many greetings.

Hello Julio,

The Windows.old folder should be kept for a while until your happy that the new install is okay. Then google it and check if it can be deleted.

You need to reinstall P3D. Download the full installer from your LM account.

After it’s installed run it and ensure it runs without problem.

If it does then install your ORBX files from ORBX Central.

Run P3D again and make sure it’s okay.

Finally, install your addon airports. Install a few and check they look okay. Then install the rest.

I would not recommend copying any addon files from your backup. Install everything from new.

Finally, Windows 7 is no longer supported and there are no more security updates. You should consider buying a licence for Windows 10/11.

Good luck! 👍

Thank you for the information Ray

If I re-download P3D 4.5 the full version means all hotfixes are included??? What would be the last version (code number) for info?

So the best way is a complete new installation. One question: I have to download and reinstall Orbx Central and only then can I reinstall my Orbx Airports one after the other. A lot of work ahead of me but I have a week's holiday now.
Greetings

Hello Julio,

Yes, the latest full installer includes all hot fixes. 👍 I don’t have my computer on so cannot give you the version number. But don’t worry.

Yes, Orbx Central needs to be installed.

A lot of work but very easy. Just time consuming.

Consider buying a backup device and install Aomei Backupper. It includes a Disk Backup option which allows the contents of a drive to be restored. It’s free.

 

Thank you for the recommendation. I will keep it in mind. The most important work will be the installation of more than 2 million aircraft repaints. Jajajaj. I love my hobby even though I am not a professional. I started in the mid 80's I think with Sublogic I had an IBM XT computer with a 14 inch monitor the hard drive was huge. It's just so much fun.

I will report here how I get on. Thank you very much.

Regards from Bavaria Germany.
 

The latest (final) version of P3Dv4 is 4.5.14.34698, aka v4.5 HF3--that's what you get if you download it now.

 

Many thanks Bob. Regards.
