Hello Aaron If your wish is to complete a clean uninstall & reinstall of Prepar3D you would also delete the Add On left overs from the core Prepar3D Install folder. When you uninstall Prepar3D this process will only remove default Prepar3D files and folders from the core folder. You will notice that many folders will still reside here with different files that have been Installed by 3rd party Add Ons As i said for a clean uninstall & reinstall you would also delete these left overs after uninstalling Prepar3D To locate your core folder, Right click on the Prepar3D Desktop Icon and click Open file location this will bring you to the core Install folder. --- I have outlined all these steps in the video link here How to complete a Clean Uninstall of Prepar3D

Hello George Regarding FTX Orbx, Please see this topic below for steps to take after updating Prepar3D You will find your answer in INDEX 1

Hello Aaron There is No Need to remove the Prepar3D registry entries, This is not required, You would only manually remove these for specific situations. The video below is for a clean Uninstall of Prepar3D, This process will uninstall Prepar3D and remove all folders and files. Note: In this video I delete the Prepar3D v4 Add ons folder from the Documents location, You can save this folder if you like and move it back over afterwards. Also, I delete the 3rd party Add On leftovers from the Core Prepar3D Install folder to ensure a future clean reinstall Note: If you already have Uninstalled Prepar3D from the Control Panel you will not have the Delete generated files command needed to complete the above process. The video below is steps you can take after you reinstall Prepar3D This action will remove all 5 generated file locations to ensure a clean reinstall Or if you just want to return Prepar3D to a close default state. Just to Note: Removing the generated files will disable your 3rd party Add Ons.

When I first started looking at monitors I spent months trying to figure out a balance of price + bells & whistles. I was up to my eyes in "Response time" reviews and topics. At the end of the day I was looking way to much into it, I never notice a thing with the response time, I use Prepar3D, After effects, and some fast games

Hello Vic You will get endless opinions on monitor size and type, Its very much a personal thing. I use a 27 Inch Dell Ultra-sharp monitor, Resolution of 2560 x 1440. I love it, Its really crisp and clear and have no regrets. I have no Interest in 4k, Personally speaking I don't see much of a difference between my current monitor and 4k If I was buying an upgrade I would get the 30 Inch (Not curved) Dell Ultra Sharp, Its over a thousand pound though 😞 So it will be a while yet 30 Inch Dell Ultra Sharp This is the exact Monitor I have now https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B016YLO9G4/ref=pe_385721_140927991_TE_dp_1
