my p3d v6 sim will not start
If you haven't yet run the simulator after a fresh install, the required files may not be found. Please try running P3D first then re-try running AS and things should be found automatically. FWIW, the Simulator Installation Path is in C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5 (by default) and the Simulator appdata folder is at C:\Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5 (by default). There should be no "HiFi folder" selected, we're looking for P3D stuff here. I think the P3D run should resolve this though.
