Hello John,
indeed, yours is an earlier version.
If you wanted to risk it, just uninstall the game, leaving all of the content and then reinstall it. -
Hello,
welcome to the forums.
Can you clarify which aircraft or which simulator please?
The PAC 750 model is for MSFS. -
I think that's a wise decision.
I only tried it because given the layout of my MSFS installation,
it was easily and quickly done.I may have misunderstood, but I have read it as putting an extra frame in between each frame.

No I don't have the second folder. Might be time to delete my current MSFS install and install again from the Game Store?
I was thinking of suggesting that, but I don't want the feedback if it doesn't go well. 😁
As far as I am aware, reinstalling just the game does not delete any of the content.
If you are asked if you want to do that, the answer must be no.

Hello John, some time ago, but I can't remember which developer asked for it to be done,
the MSFS installation was changed and inside the MSFS root folder, another folder was created with
the exe file in it.
Mine is installed onto my G drive, in a folder that for clarity, I named "Microsoft Flight Simulator" and there is this folder:
You can see the two added files inside it.

Hello Ray,
as far as I am aware, no.
My own choice is to stay with P3D v5.3, as most of the support tickets that I see releate to
version 5.4.
I didn't see any particular gain between versions.
Of course, YMMV.

Hello,
I guess so, if you own other Microsoft software that falls into the category.
I don't, so I have never tried switching it on. -
I'll ask Marcus, it is Boxing Day though. 🎄

Hello,
I have only had GSX for a few days, but when I asked it to warp me there, it put me further forward and the jetway is fine.
The 110 page GSX manual looks to be a challenge.

Now I have Windows 10 - is Update in Win 11 the same as in 10, with the little switch "Receive updates for other Microsoft products" under Advanced options in Update?
Hello,
yes, of course. -
Hello,
this is what needs to be done:
1 Make a small download and unzip the folder2 Copy and paste two files and open a registry file.
3 that's it.
To undo
1 delete two files
2 open another registry file.
3 that's it
It works for me, RTSS thinks that the frame rate is doubled
and that's what it says on the tin.-

Still clunky. In this day and age there must be a way for IT to group all together. Maybe it's deliberate? First world problems...... heavy sigh
I took a look at another site, where there is an "On Sale" category.
It contains 382 products on 10 pages.
Because the category is "On Sale", they are randomly for several simulators and
several types of product on each page.As I mentioned:

As ever, Orbx will, after Christmas, consider all customer feedback and thanks for providing it.
As this is Christmas day, Seasons Greetings to you all. 🎄

I suppose it's just from habit.
I have 10 flight simulators on this PC, the poor C drive is only 240 GB.
Its extended family is another 17 TB, so it doesn't take long to decidewhere not to install things.

Hello John,
only Microsoft would bury the Community folder in
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community
It's a highly protected location, which is fine, if you think like an Xbox user and consider the system to be closed.
For anyone else, It's an unnecessary complication.
Fortunately, there is a way out.Mine is in G:\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Community and such problems have never occurred.
-
Hello,
As of today, there are 1446 products at Orbx Direct.
Regardless of the sale, it will take some time to browse through them all.
The layout of an online store can never satisfy everyone but my suggested course of action would be to make
some choices before starting to look.
Which area of the planet and which simulator you are buying for would be two good decisions.
Once that is decided, you can open the Europe page, for example and then from the drop-down, select for example,
just MSFS.
You will then be presented with a list, each reduced price product price will be in red and crossed out, with the sale price next to it.-

It asks about halfway through if you want to deactivate the old P3D6 installation which I did.
Hello,
for future reference, the answer to that question should always be "No".
It is only intended for those who wish to reinstall onto another PC, which
is not permitted if P3D is still activated somewhere else.

Hello John,
I haven't tried this myself, but here is the official method of moving MSFS to another drive.
How to move Microsoft Flight Simulator to a new PC – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)If you wanted to replace the 1 TB drive with a 2 TB drive, then I would think that making an image of the 1 TB
drive and transferring it to the 2 TB drive would be the way forward.
You could then give the 2 TB drive the same drive letter as the 1 TB drive had and MSFS should just work,
but with a lot more free space.-

Hello,
it looks like it was removed on purpose:
CYUL Montréal–Trudeau International Airport - Microsoft Flight Simulator - Orbx (orbxdirect.com)

Which all leads me to my question with the current version - assuming I do a complete reload of the current version - on a new upgraded 2 Tb SSD -
Hello John,
would it be easier, quicker and less risky to just replace the 1 TB drive with a 2TB drive,
Or if the 2 TB drive is to be an addition, install the drive and then move your existing installation onto it?-

Hello,
you could try the Vector AEC "Automatic Configuration". -
Hello,
the P3D installer can only remove the files that it installed in the first place, so everything
that remains must be an addon.
You can certainly install P3D v5 into the same folder and see if it will all work.
For Orbx products, I wrote this topic some time ago:
Orbx Central P3dv3.4
in Prepar3D

Hello,
P3D v3 was the first P3D version to use the add-on method and Orbx Central was never set up to do that
for P3D v3.
You will need install into the simulator root folder.
It will not harm P3D to do it that way.
