It shouldn't overwrite it. Worst case scenario, just back it up if you wish.

Ok good to know, thank u sir Kevin for the answer very kind of you,

     I installed the latest SODE version, 1.8.0, plus the required Sim Connect version. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the FlightBeam airports I have, but KSFO is the only one that has jetways. I checked my other addon airports from other developers that I have installed in P3Dv6 with SODE jetways, and there are no jetways at any of them. Is there something else I need to do?
     I tried posting this on the SODE forum, but I'm unable to log on with the credentials I have. Thanks.

Pete, check the relevant Jetway.xml files in your SODE folder. Some developers have set a value for the Sim-version check for their Sodejetways. You have two options, to delete the simversion entry in that xml file or you add V6 to it. both will work.

OK, call me stupid, but I can't get GSX to work in P3D6. I,ve updated everything twice, but there is no Addon Manager or Couatl to be seen in P3D6. I can't find the new installation files, and using the old ones does not lead to the desired result. So, what am Imissing and/or what am I doing wrong? Pleas help.

Of course P3D V6 is not supported using an old installer. You must download the latest one.

Hello Umberto,

Of course, that's the way to do it. One small advice though: it might be useful to change the names of the installer files; now they are both called "gsx-p3d4-setup.exe". This explains my confusion.

What do you mean by "both"? There are only two installers and are:

- The 32-bit version for FSX and P3D1, 2, 3, which is has always being called gsx_fsx_setup.exe

- The 64-bit version, for P3D 4, 5 and 6, which has always been called, since the first P3D 64 bit came out in 2017, gsx_p3d4_setup.exe, didn't change name with P3D5 came out and didn't change name when P3D 6 came out.

It's not as if you could install the wrong version in the wrong simulator. If you start the 32-bit installer, it will show only the 32-bit simulators you have installed (and if you have none, it won't install anything) and if you start the 64-bit installer, it will only show the 64-bit simulators you have installed.

OK, that's all very true. Stiil, it would be helpful - if not for me then for the community - to mention the destination-sim-versions the installer is suitable for.
