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. Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471
July 4, 20232 yr 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.

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... Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471
July 4, 20232 yr @F737MAX Where is the terrain.cfg file located in Prepar3D v5? Is it in "C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5" or somewhere else? Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471

July 4, 20232 yr 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 Ian S
July 4, 20232 yr 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. Edited July 4, 20232 yr by anden145 Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471
