GSX installer don't find P3DV4
« on: July 30, 2019, 11:32:55 pm »
Hello,

I have GSX for FSX. But since today I come to p3d so I reinstall gsx with the installer gsx for p3dv4 setup. I download all the files and next he doesn't find my simulator… so the add-on doesn't work. Can you help me ?

Thanks.

Do you have:
1. the correct installer (the one for P3Dv4)
2. the correct simulator (At least P3dv4.4, because older ones don't have PBR and won't be supported)
3. Disabled the Antivirus and Firewall
4. Installed as admin?

With those steps it should work. If your Installer does not recognise your sim, you probabely stuck on Prepar 3dv 4.3 or picked up the wrong intaller (there is a separate one for Prepar 4 since the last release).

Hope that helps.

As explained in so many other threads:

- If you are installing the 32 bit version of the installer (the one with FSX in the name), it won't install into P3D4

- If you are installing the 64 bit of the installer, it won't install into anything less than P3D4.4, since it's the minimum version supported for PBR, which is what the update is all about.
