pete_auau Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I'am going to go the full uninstall/ reinstall of p3d to update to the 4.4 version, question is my orbx addons, on the correct procedure of uninstalling/ reinstalling do I just open up ftx central and use the uninstall option on each addon I have got, than delete any left over folders that are left behind in the p3d folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianV Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I did this, and only reinstalled Global, Vector, and Trees. For the rest, I chose "verify files". As I uninstalled P3D 4.3 via the uninstall option (but didn't manually remove the remaining files and folders) this worked perfect. I cleared the sceneryindexes and shaders folders and then let P3D 4.4 rebuild these. It all works great, and is a clear improvement on an already very good 4.3.

Thx for the tip but have gone the way off using the updating the content, scenery and client option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaz Drnovsek Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I have a similar question. I'm going to reinstall P3D completely, so I'm going to delete absolutely everything. Do I need to uninstall every single ORBX addon one by one or can I simply delete ORBX folders and when I install P3D I install every ORBX product again?

I don't think it is necessary to uninstall anything from the ORBX folder, when removing P3D. Rather, a fresh install of P3D will keep the ORBX folders that haven't changed and you avoid the hazzle of a full ORBX reinstallation. The P3D upgrade will be just the same, and you won't have to do something on the ORBX that you already have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaz Drnovsek Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Thanks but I'd like to know what to do if I do delete the whole P3D folder. I will install P3D on a different drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hello, you can delete the P3D folder when you have uninstalled P3D correctly. When you install P3D in the new location, FTX Central will see it there and you can install everything again. Don't forget to delete all the P3D configuration files before you run your new installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
