TigerTigerM Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I have p3D V3.4 on the "P" SSD I have P3D V4 on the "S", SSD When I go through Ftx Central 3 & choose P3D V4, then via Settings try & run Vector AEC , the Vector Configuration asks me to choose a Simulator from the drop down list before I run the Auto Configuration. Except no Simulators are listed to choose from. So I can progress no further. Any thoughts on how to get around this? I have already uninstalled Vector in P3D V4 & reinstalled. Vector AEC appears to be running ok in P3D V3.4 Thanks TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi TTM, Does it work if you go into your P3Dv4\ORBX\FTX_VECTOR folder and run it from there? Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 No Doug. Still get a"Validation Message" pop up that says "Please select a simulator from the drop-down first". But I am going to try something - have had this problem installing aircraft - Font too big, can't see all options. Shrink font. Will report back. TTM Report: No change. I suspect the answer is that apart from freeware & LO5, I have no Orbx airports installed in P3D V4 yet that are picked up when scenry.cfg is scanned by Auto Config.

Nick Cooper Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hello, The Vector control panel must be run from the ORBX\FTX_VECTOR folder. Thr ORBX folder must be in the simulator root folder. The root folder of the simulator must have its .exe file in it, in the case of P3Dv4, Prepar3D.exe and there must be a registry entry pointing to the same root folder. If all these conditions are not in place, you see the result. If all these conditions are in place, you should see this instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Thanks Nick I'll check out the file structure. Cheers TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Everything checks out ok, except I don't know the Registry entry required. Anyone provide that? Thanks TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 FTX Central looks for "RegistryKey": "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Lockheed Martin\\Prepar3D v4", "RegistryValue": "AppPath", Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no joy in P3D V4. Head scratcher, & appears from other thread entries I am not the only one getting this. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
