does anyone know of a good source on how to get the installer's to work in the new version? Like airports from fsdreamteam and the aerosoft a330? It may sound funny, But i have never used anything accept official installers from all the add-ons I own

 

What do you mean 'source'? If you mean 'method', then simply do the registry "trick". That's what I did with the PMDG 777.

I have a fresh install of windows 11 installed without having v5 installed. After i install version 6, I assume i just add v5 to the registry, and point it to version 6. I don't want to hijack this thread for it's original purpose. Thanks.

Hmm ... I cannot get ORBX installer to work. Keeps complaining that my terrain.cfg is corrupt 😕

Does the v6 terrain.cfg file follow the same format as the v5 one?

What happens if (after you make a backup of your current v6 one) you take a v5 terrain.cfg and add in any changes as required?

I don't know. I don't have v5 installed... At first, it complained about the exe.xml file. I then created a symbolic-link between C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v6 and C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5. Which helped for that particular error. But then it threw the terrain.cfg error instead...

@F737MAX
Where is the terrain.cfg file located in Prepar3D v5? Is it in "C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5" or somewhere else?

Yes, that's its location.

On the Living Airports Facebook page, a big plus in my opinion - 

Hi guys,
Today Lockheed Martin released Prepar3D v6, to make it short, 3D Lights for P3D v2 is compatible with this new version, but of course I need to improve a little things to make it look better, in the meantime a small file will be uploaded to Simmarket to install in P3Dv6. By the way you don't need to uninstall your current installation 🙂

PMDG 737NGXu seems to be working as well. With the registry 'trick' done.

I also managed to get ChasePlane to be installed, but it isn't launching, so I guess something needs to be done from the developers side? In order for ORBX (incl. ChasePlane) to be installed, I had to create a symbolic link between "C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v6" and C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5".

EDIT: Regarding PMDG: Now, they already said, that they had 'bad' (or not satisfactory) results with just installing it into Prepar3D v6. Personally I don't see any, at the moment - but I haven't flown it extensively (yet) and there maybe systems or other weird things happening. We'll see... So far they've been installed, activated and loaded fine.
