If you want to see airports you've paid for installing is the only option. I tried copying files for FlyTampa TNCM from a backup and when locating at the airport all my available RAM was eaten causing P3D to crash. A clever feature to prevent piracy. No such problem when the installer was run and I entered the product key. If XP allows you to copy files without similar protection it's open to abuse. Ray (Cheshire, England).

If there is any possibility to prevent do it all over again? The system itself won't carry, current PC is still on win7, that won't have chance to work on new hardware anyway. In the past I have carried FS9 from XP to Win7, with all kinds of registry export/import, but still some add-ons have to be reinstalled and problems here and there..... When I try to switch to win10 on my current PC, I tried but most add-ons won't work well without have to reinstall them one by one, that's one of the main reason I stucked on win7 for now. I probably will do a fresh install on P3Dv5 then.Actually it's the main reason I want a new PC and system.... but that actually makes me more want simply carrry old v4 into new PC rather than fresh install and "rise" both version.... Any tool/tips to do that? Just move your system and flightsim drives to the new system. Maybe there are some problems booting but this could be possibly fixed with windows tools. You may have to boot from a emergency stick at first. The system can change drivers to the new mobo. If everything runs fine, clone the drives to your new and faster drives, if there is a change. I'd only unregister P3D. The few addons which will refuse to run in the new system you will discover time after time and then just reinstall them with the registry code. Just recently I changed my ssd and therefore I copied the whole drive to the new one. Then I unregistered P3D. After this I changed the drive letters, to make it accessable like before, cause of all the paths in add-on.xml etc. Then installed the P3D client again, registering it. Finished. No problems after all. Of course moving the OS and it's registry is a bit bigger task but should work too. Remember to fix the OS on the new system you can always do an inplace upgrade to make it work again, keeping all your programs etc. If I get a new system, I'll do it this way. Only recently @psolk mentioned he did it that way in another thread I think.

Well, i spoke about moving a Windows 11 on one the old hardware to Windows 11 on the new hardware. If you're still on Windows 7, I'd also start from scratch. But still it is possible to just move the sim and the addons. But of course, it needs some thinking, what needs to be included. Like moving in real life, a little planing helps.

March 13, 20233 yr I was able to upgrade my cpu and mobo without reinstalling anything. But I’d say once you reinstall the OS (upgrade from 7 in your case) there is no way around reinstallation of p3d and most of the addons. JasonFAA CPL SEL MEL IR CFI-I MEI AGI
