answered Install my p3d4.5 products into p3d5?

[donbrindles]

Hi All. I've just installed p3d5 into my new PC. Also installed Orbx Central. This shows p3d5 as installed, and all my owned (but not yet installed) Orbx products. These are all currently installed in p3d4.5, awaiting transfer from my old to new PC.

 

How to install all my owned Orbx products into p3d5? Presumably my fairly extensive p3d4.5 product list will include some not yet compatible with p3d5. Apologies if this is covered somewhere in the Forums - couldn't find anything,

 

Don.

Hi Don

 

Simply open Orbx Central on your new PC.

Then select P3Dv5 from the drop down menu at the top.

Then click on "My Products".

Then select/click on the product and the Install button should be revealed.

Then install.

Doug, thanks - excellent support, as usual!

Hi Doug. Thanks for this. It does the trick...but download speed is awful. I have fibre broadband, 35 MB/s...excellent signal...speed checker shows download speed 35 MB/s. But...download speed when installing My Products into P3D5.2 via Central is 5 MB/s - max!. 

That can't be right - it'll take weeks to get everything into P3D5! Any suggestions please?

 

Another query. Presumably My Products lists only those that are compatible with P3D5? Eg, I have Hammerfest in P3D4.5, but it doesn't show in My Products for P3D5. My Products P3D5 does show Other/Global/Airport Pack...so this is presumably ok for P3D5?

 

Thanks for your advice,

 

Don.

If you have Orbx Backup enabled then the P3DV5 downloads will first look for the P3DV4 files, and in most cases there will be very little extra to download for the V5 install.

Hi Don, yes this is correct.

This is also correct.

 

In regards to the download speeds, sometimes if you restart Orbx Central it will move faster. It will also resume from where it left off even if you restart your PC, but unfortunately there is nothing we can do about your download speeds, that would be controlled by your ISP.
