November 7, 20223 yr Short version: Hello everyone. Is it there an utility similar to the Flight1 FS9/FSX Registry Repair tool (available at https://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library), but for P3Dv5? Long version: Somehow my Windows 10 started acting up, until I wasn't able to boot anymore. I had to reformat my C:\ drive (the 256 GB SSD from my specs). Before reformating, I was able to save a copy of the AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin folder (and also MSFS too). Both P3D and MSFS are safely installed in another drive, D:\, a 1 TB SSD. As soon as I reinstalled Steam, I was able to point it to my MSFS installation (at D:\Steam) and it worked. I could even see that my settings were saved. On the other hand, when I tried starting P3D, I got an error about a failed installation. No problem, I reinstalled the client. I knew I had to reactivate P3D anyway. However, now it says I need to install both Content and Scenery. Despite pasting my saved settings, P3D still asks me for both Content and Scenery and closes after that. But they are already there on D:\! I understand that the F1 FS9/FSX Registry Repair tool can identify an apparently missing installation of these sims. However, how can I do so for P3D, and make it aware that Content and Scenery are already installed, so that I don't have to reinstall all addons* from scratch? *Well, I see I have no option for PMDG and QW birds. The other planes I'm using are FSL and A2A, but they are in their own folders and can be somehow saved. Same for FSUIPC, ActiveSky, Orbx and the very few sceneries and AFCADs I use.

November 7, 20223 yr The problem is missing registry entries for the content and scenery modules. AFAIK, there is no P3D equivalent of the F1 registry repair tool for FSX. If it were me, I'd proceed by backing up the D drive, then make a backup of the configuration file set with the tool in Lorby-SI's P3D Addon Manager. Then install the content and scenery modules with the LM installers using the original paths, then restore the backup to the D drive and restore the config files with P3D AOM. That should square the registry away and leave the same configuration that existed before the backup.

Edit: If so, it didn't work at all: my controller assignments were all over the place. My A2A aircraft didn't show up and neither did the addon sceneries I had. I'm not sure if any of these were within the scope of Lorby P3D Addon Organizer...
