July 20, 20223 yr Hi all, I'm a bit late to the v5.3 party as I haven't really had time to update. I think I'm either still on 5.1 or 5.2. I understand the update process to 5.3 is different than before but I'm having trouble navigating the exact process. Ideally I don't want to have to reinstall all my addons. Is this even possible? Can anyone explain the process in detail? Any help would be much appreciated. Ashjames.
July 20, 20223 yr Just uninstall the old version completely, say no to unregister your serial and reinstall the new version. Some texture replacing products need to be reinstalled, like ORBX Global e.g. which is easily done by their Central software. There are hundreds of procedures, some may chime in here and say only replace the client things like that. I recommend doing a full install. All addon sceneries and aircraft remain installed. Dan OS=WIN11 Home, Sim=P3D5 5.3 (P3D4 and FSX for install reasons) Addons=ORBX, ASCA, AS, TOGA and tons of sceneries, aircraft MB=Gigabyte AORUS Z790 Elite AX, CPU=i13900K, Cooling=Be quiet! Pure Loop II FX GPU=KFA2 RTX3090 24 GB, RAM=64 GB DDR5-5600, HOTAS=Logitech G Saitek X52 Pro Visit my website for fixes and addons: https://sites.google.com/view/dans-p3d-mods
July 20, 20223 yr Here is a topic that explains what needs to be done. It is Orbx focused but the principles apply to other third party addons.[useful tip] Installing a P3D V5 Hotfix or update correctly - PREPAR3D® V5.x Support Forum - Orbx Community and Support Forums (orbxdirect.com)
