FlyBob Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Hi I'm sure this has been asked many times, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere, so any help greatly appreciated. I have just (finally) given up on FSX & FSX-SE and installed P3D. I have an extensive list of ORBX products including all the Global range and most of the scenery areas. In October this year, when trying to setup a new FSX-SE install, I downloaded a fresh set of install masters from ORBX. My question is, can I use these installers to load all my ORBX products to P3D, or do I need a different set of downloads? (I have virtually nil bandwidth at home, so have to sit at work for hours to do this stuff, so really hoping for a favourable answer!!!!). Thanks.

FlyBob Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Oh, I appear to be shouting in the dark. Have I posted my initial question in the correct section of the forums? I had hoped for an official reply. I realise that's it's the holiday season, but I note replies being given on other posts. Is there something else I need to do to get a reply to what I think is a valid and straightforward question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeBird Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 If you downloaded the triple installers back in October you should be okay using your FSS downloads for now. I did find that I had to re download NZ as they wouldn't migrate correctly. When you start a ORBX install you should have the dark blue installers and they will ask you what sim you want to install to. If they are the old installers you wont have that option for P3D v3. I don't know why nobody at ORBX would chime in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBob Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Thanks for the reply FreeBird. I shall take the old fashioned approach and just give it a try! Although I now see there is a new FTX Central, so I better get my head around that as well. Blimey, too much to keep learning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplane Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I recommend, for now at least, that you use the old FSS installers. Download speeds with the new FTX Central process are a bit dicey (as in slow). Your files from October should be fine. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
