P3D v5.2 compatible airports

[vegasjon]

Hi all:

i apologize if this has been asked and answered, but are any of the FSDT airports besides Chicago and the European airport compatible with 5.2? Those were the only ones showing up on the website for download..

 All of them are. You can get them from the FSX download page.

Ah thanks! didnt think to check there, was looking in the P3D area...

The P3D area is for airports that were designed only for P3D V4 and higher. The older airports that were originally designed for FSX and then brought over to P3D would show up under the FSX category.

Which contains this sentence:

IMPORTANT

This page indicates only those products that have a P3D4/5 Native version and don't work in FSX or older version of P3D ( 1, 2 and 3 ). On the FSX Products page, you'll find many other products that were originally made for FSX, but the installer supports all P3D version, including P3D V5.x

Hi, Umberto
Reading this post probably avoids another topic so need clarification
Have GSX (with Level2) installed in P3D4.
Got P3D5 in another drive and while running installer it checked both sim P3D4 & 5. Since it is installed in P3D4 I unchecked it leaving only P3D5. It runs smoothly but it brought me 2 questions:
1) should I keep both P3D4 & 5 checked while running installer?
2) Addon Manager in P3D5 shows that every FSDT product I have are active but sceneries aren't in P3D5 scenery library. Do I need to run their installers too and if P3D4 & 5 are checked can I repeat the procedure (unchecking P3D4) or its better (or best or only way) to keep both checked avoiding creating an issue?
Tks and sorry if these questions are dumbies but I didn't want to open another topic since this one seems what I need to know

1) should I keep both P3D4 & 5 checked while running installer?

Normally yes but, if it's already installed in V4, checking it or not shouldn't make any difference. If, instead, you want to REMOVE it from P3D V4, you must UNINSTALL it first and, on the NEXT install, install it in P3D V5 only.

2) Addon Manager in P3D5 shows that every FSDT product I have are active but sceneries aren't in P3D5 scenery library. Do I need to run their installers too and if P3D4 & 5 are checked can I repeat the procedure (unchecking P3D4) or its better (or best or only way) to keep both checked avoiding creating an issue?

Yes, you need to run the installer to have a scenery installed to the sim Scenery Library.

And again, checking/unchecking doesn't make any difference if a scenery is ALREADY installed, but DOES make a difference if a scenery hasn't been installed in that particular simulator yet.

Tried to run KCLT installer for P3D5.
It pointed to E:\Addon Manager which is the folder I have my FSDT P3D4 sceneries.
Should I create another Addon Manager folder for P3D5, like H:\Addon Manager?

You wouldn't be able to do that since the Add-on Manager can only be in one place.

Tks, Kevin
So how can I install FSDT sceneries in my P3D5? They are installed in P3D4

When you ran the installer, it should have asked which simulators you wished to install it for. Select the simulators that you wish to install them for.

This is what I got while trying to run installer of CYVR & KORD V2
No option to P3D5

Just to verify, this is with the latest installers? Because this is what I see when I try to install Chicago O'Hare.

Followed your instructions and installed all.
