P3D v1.4

(1/4) > >>

Kosta:
Not asking when, but asking how do I know when it becomes available? Will you post an announcement or will there just be an update?

virtuali:
The updated Addon Manager is already available since yesterday, but I had to wait for all the updated installers for all products to be uploaded, which ended just a few minutes ago.

It couldn't be a Live Update, because if you reinstalled P3D 1.4 from scratch (which is what most people will do), you had to reinstall all products too, so you will have to re-download all installers now, since the old installers didn't recognize P3D 1.4. The only installer which was already compatible with P3D 1.4 it's Flightbeam's KPHX, so it's the only one that doesn't require downloading it again, but just *running* it again, to get the updated Addon Manager .DLL.

Kosta:
Great!

So as of now, I can download ALL the FSX installers from the airports I own and install them into P3D?

Does this mean I should be using FSXP3D Migrator Tool or should I just do it without? Because later on I am running the legacy mode by the migrator, so that EFB will work - this means no prepar3d.exe is run but fsx.exe.

Yes.

I don't know how that tool works, if it's fooling installers to install inside P3D thinking it might be FSX, there might be issues with products with proper P3D support, like our own, because they need to know it's *really* P3D you are installing into, because there are few things that needs to be changed in the XML file (Couatl, for example, needs a command line switch to enable P3D mode, so it will look into P3D folders and config files in their correct locations)

I guess you shouldn't use that tool, for products that have real P3D support.

Kosta:
Alright. I'll give it a whirl.

This tool is very important as I intend on publishing a guide for FSX users on AVSIM on how to port to P3D, and this tool plays a big role, as it is basically one thing with which you can install bunch of Aerosoft, UK2000, Flytampa, PMDG and other stuff... which is of course FSX native.

I just hope that after the installation FSDT has nothing against me running P3D in legacy mode, meaning like fsx.exe.

I'll post here when done, so you know how it worked out exactly (possible help for future users), as I believe there are going to be many more after I'm down with the post.
