Nick Cooper Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hello John, I have installed one and it does indeed look as if the update to P3D has broken it. Carenado will be pleased. Very good news about your eye, good luck for the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manlyman Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I had the same problem with V5. Tried the patch, no joy. Did a complete update as per Nicks guide for V5.1 w/hot fix. That seemed to fix the problem. Installed the 210 and all is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 when installing carenado into v5 you have to click p3d, then v4, then browse and find root folder for v5, it will install and work....never had any type of patch myself....I am just reinstalling everything into v5.1 as I had a PC malfunction, will let you know how it goes....

chasordod Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I had this problem when first installing Carenado aircraft into v5, but solved it just as Wayne describes above. For me, it proved vital to select v4 option in the installer, and then browse to the P3Dv5 folder. Doing this, installations have worked in every case. I now have several of each of the Carenado and Alabeo ranges displaying and functioning normally in P3Dv5.1 HF1. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Roberts Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I have installed all my add-on aircraft (including Carenado and Alabeo, plus over ninety freeware downloads) into a completely separate folder from P3D, and referenced them through .xml files. This prevents them from overwriting core P3D files, which could be the case here. ALL my add-on aircraft work as expected. Plus I can 'turn them off' in the add-on menu, and use the same aircraft files for P3D v4 and v5 without wasting hard drive space with duplicates. There is a guide here https://www.nzfsim.org/fsx-p3d-tweaks/add-ons-outside-p3d-root/ I used the template for the folder structure, and then added the add-ons as 'packages' using the free Lorby tool. It's easy, quick and completely reliable. Most importantly it keeps your P3D installation clean. When I reinstalled P3D v5 to update to 5.1 HF1 it took no effort at all. No reinstalling add-ons. Just keep a copy of the add-on.xml file in case it gets overwritten, and P3D loaded straight up with everything working from a complete uninstall / reinstall. Using this method, I had all my Carenado aircraft working properly in v5 without the patch, but I have now installed it. I know a lot of people seem to be resistant to using the .xml add-on method, but I find it to be really effective and reliable. I've installed all sorts of weird and wonderful free add-on aircraft, and I can try them out without risking messing up my installation of P3D. If one does cause a problem (and so far only two have, in both cases something in the VC causing a sim crash), or it's just not very good, I can remove the package in Lorby, delete the folder and forget it ever happened. Not one Lockheed Martin file has changed, and the add-ons never try to overwrite each other. LM recommend this method for a reason. It also works with freeware add-on scenery but takes a little more tinkering. My greatest triumph is getting the complete Global AI Ships package to install as a selectable .xml add-on.

John Heaton Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 In the midst of all the above - I came across the dreaded 'you have to many Installs" etc For once I got a little upset and mailed Carenado re the many updates of v4 and v5 and the need to reinstall I got this back which might be info to others who like to download each time to get the latest update "'Greetings, There is no expiration on downloads, but you ran out of installations, which we just reset, please try again. Regards, and they worked ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
