Trying to find C-172 trainer installer exe for P3Dv4

Post by fltsimguy12 »

So I am now on this forum after emailing sales at A2A to resend my download link to install the C-172 into P3Dv4. It was originally purchased in 2015 at the FSPilotShop, order#655686 for which that updated exe file on May 30 does not have a P3Dv4 option for install. The sales team for whatever reason would not send me the download link to v4 and directed me to this forum for which I have spent considerable time trying to find the secret to get the C-172 installer for v4 sent to me. So...can someone help me find the closely guarded installer for v4???....I've spent a good 2-3 hours reading forums, emailing, waiting for responses etc....I really want to spend my time flying the plane for which I paid for in 2015..

Thanks

Hello,

If you originally purchased a P3D licence from FSPilotShop, you should be able to log into your account there and download an updated zip file which contains a P3Dv4 installer, along with the installer for P3Dv1-3. (Here's a similar question from another customer of FSPilotShop.)

However, this doesn't apply if your originally purchased an FSX licence.

I don't think A2A will be able to "resend" your download link if you purchased from another vendor. :wink:

Thanks,
Nick

P.S. A2A's tech support is via the forums here, not through email.

Hello and welcome to the support forums,

forums are interactive so its best to post questions than just get frustrated reading and not posting. I see Nick has you pretty much sorted out. Just re-download your product and you will get the v4 software alongside your P3Dv2-3 software.

FSX doesn't have any offer to switch to a different platform, and the P3Dv4 release doesn't interfere with your working software for the FSX platform.

thanks,
Lewis

OK, so I go into FSPilot shop and download the installer once again that says it was updated May 30, 2017. I unzip the ATS-135 zip file and it becomes C172_FSX_v2.0.EXE and installer points me to FSX. Is it that I have to buy the A2A C-172 for P3Dv4? Maybe I missed here, I bought this in 2015 prior to P3D coming out I believe? If I bought this as a FSX aircraft maybe there is not an upgrade to P3D? Thanks for any input to help clear this up...

Yes, that's correct: if your original purchase in 2015 was for FSX, then you'll need to repurchase the product to use it in P3D.

Thanks,
Nick
