To those might be interested, I found that the folder where the hugest temporary files for the installer are stored is C:\ProgramData\Package Cache During the installation a copy of every dataX.cab is put here, so if you are short of space there is no room for all of them. I tried to make a "junction" for this folder on the bigger drive but it did not work either. But it is possible to delete them "on the run" during the installation, so that no more than one or two of them are left on the disk at the same time. After all .cab are copied there, the installer seeks for them to extract the requested files, starting from the first. So manage to keep on the disk the data1.cab (and data2.cab depending how much free space you have). The installation will go on and when the error message appears from the installer searching for the next data.cab, you just delete the previous .cab, copy the data2.cab, press Retry and so on until the last one. It worked for me and it avoided me making more space, changing system disk or creating symbolic links.

Yes, that sounds very "quick and dirty" but also effective.... Meanwhile I googled "moving user temp appdata folders" and chances are that it will help, as well. Thanks to both for answers!

Hello everybody, after a long period away from simulation with P3D 1.4 (actually I discontinued my developer subscription) I was very curious about the new version, so I bought a new license for the v2. Unfortunately I realized that I cannot install it, because I'm very short of free space on my tiny SSD system disk C: (60 Gb), despite the fact I have plenty of space on other two SSD D: and F: I tried to delete everything I could from C:\, but still I can get no more than 3-3,5 Gb of free space which seem not to be enough for the install process. I've read a post below where somebody had the same issue but solved it getting more free space. Moreover, every aborted try erases some more space on the system disk, but I can't make out where the temporary files are put. I deleted everything I could in AppData/Local/Temp but I got no free space back. Now I use my PC mainly with expensive and complex music software and I would rather not messing it all out in order to change my system disk to a bigger one (and probably having to reinstall many programs), since I don't plan to fly intensively as before. Is there any way to readdressing the temporary folder for the installation to a different drive? I thought I could also temporarily delete the hyberfile.sys just for the installation time, but I'm not sure of it is a good idea. Any suggestion would be very useful. Cheers, Stefano

It's not a matter of not supporting, which sounds perfectly acceptable to me. We're talking about spending time and effort on purpose tweaking the code of the 777 and making it not running under P3D. I will tweak my credit card as well and make it never working again vs. PMDG products.

Thank you so much for info! That's what I wanted to hear...

Hi, has anybody tested in Prepar3D 1.3 the support for TrackIR via Ezca workaround?I downloaded the new version but I'm not sure I want to delete 1.2 and reinstall all stuff from scratch if I'm going to lose TrackIR.Regards,Stefano

I found the solution, the key is, after installing MTLs, to add the entrySimObjectPaths.x=SimObjectsIVAO_MTLin [Main] section of prepar3D.cfg.In my case x was 6, since I don't use the SimObjectsSubmersible path.Hope it can help and avoid some headache.RegardsStefano

I perfectly agree that compatibility between P3D and add-ons is a general issue and in most cases we just have to wait a bit longer.But in this case I'm not sure whether it's a configuration problem of mine or somebody else managed to have Ivap full working with visible traffic.I would have expected a little more discussion about it since most simmers fly online on both Vatsim and Ivao. .

Thanks for answering, I followed the advice and browsed the P3D forum but couldn't find any solution. Also posted the issue in P3D forum and in Ivao forum as well, but so far no answer. JN says they just did not test the sim with those packages.Should I really give up flying online with Prepar3D, since it's quite difficult to connect in crowded airports being seen but unable to see other traffics?

Hi everybody, I could not find any topic about that so far, sorry if it has already been discussed.I have been using P3D for some weeks and recently I started to fly online in Ivao with it, as I was used in FS9/FSX.Everything seems ok, I can see myself connected and I can interact with ATCs through IVAP, but I cannot see any Ivao traffic in the simulator, just the AI traffic (which I would not expect).SInce I spent most time in installing and testing add-ons and tuning performances, maybe I missed something about multisession capabilities or differences between FSX and P3D.I run IVAP on a networked notebook through WideFS, but the configuration seems ok to me.Could it has anything to do with my issue?Thanks for any suggestionsEDIT title was obviously P3D and IVAO

Hi , everybody, I'm looking for a help because I'm getting mad about this strange issue.In the default GPS and in the map view of Fs9, I found a doubled couple of navaids near Milano Linate Airport, LIN VOR and LIN NDB.One lies in the correct position and the other is about 10 nM south-west fo the airport, with same frequencies.This causes wrong procedures and missed approaches , depending of the direction the aircraft comes from, because I get the wrong VOR before the right one.I decompiled and examined the NV9EURW0.BGL file which is supposed to contain all western europe navaids, but I found in it only the correct couple of LIN VOR and NDB in the right geographical position.I also examined both the add-on scenery of Linate LIML and the default stock airport with Afcad and Airport Design Editor, but it seems there's nothing wrong with them.Since I have also some other odd situations with navaids which I can't understand, I would like to know if there is another file where the GPS and the map view take the data they show up, and which is the procedure to fix errors. Thanks for any suggestion
