Nick Cooper Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Hello, an installation of P3D v5 onto a PC with P3D v4 will have no effect on either. LM have designed the software to be entirely separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hello, you can still install the products into the P3D v5 folder if you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chumley Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Jumping in here Nick, if I have v4 and v5 of P3D can I share the Orbx installation between the two by putting Orbx files in a library rather than having a set of files in each Sim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 The only way to share the files is to use symbolic links. Even in an Orbx Central Library, Orbx Central will look into the p3dv4 folder for P3D v4 files and the P3D v5 folder for P3Dv5 files. You can link them to avoid duplication but if there are any differences, of course you will not have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hello, it now appears that the files cannot be shared, so if you want to run both versions, you will need to make two separate installations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
