Biggles_101 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I should know this but I'm suffering from COVID-19 cabin fever and CRAFT Syndrome! Decided to reload P3Dv3 post installing both P3Dv4+ and P3dV5 as certain aircraft have not been updated for either of the newer sims. Running the current Central v4.1.8 installer it simply does not recognise P3Dv3! Tried the assorted fixes including synchronising the sims and libraries which live on their own drives and no success at all. The three variations of P3D also live on a single SSD. Before I get really annoyed and reinstall everything starting with P3Dv3 I'm hoping some wise person has a less traumatic solution? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hi Have you run the sim at least once first since you installed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles_101 Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Run it twice for a couple of 10 minute checks using one default aircraft and one add on Doug. No result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hello, to see P3D v3, Orbx Central needs: 1.a folder with Prepar3D.exe in it 2. a registry entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\SetupPath that points to that folder. That's all. I have never owned P3D v3 but I can easily make Orbx Central think that I have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles_101 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Thanks for the help. I finally managed to get things sorted mainly via brute force and ignorance (not really) and considerable luck. Actually getting the P3D3 folder with p3d.exe (as suggested) inserted seems to have done the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
