V4.1 doesn't install

Post by bryandraves »

Hey everybody. So I did a clean install yesterday and I'm trying to get my a2a fleet installed. Everything goes into the v4 add-ons folder just fine but when I run my sim it is nowhere to be found. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

it sounds like an issue with P3D, have you edited your add-on folder locations at all so P3D knows where to look?

thanks

I have not. Just done a clean instal and have not modified anything. Is there a way to check that? The add-on folder has all my fsdreamteam and flightbeam sceneries and they work just fine. That's why this has me confused.

Okie dokie, the directory then should look something like this;

\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\A2A

And within that you have the files and folders eg;

\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\A2A\SimObjects\Airplanes\A2A_C172

Is this showing on your installed?

When you started P3D post install did you allow the A2A folder via the pop up box P3D presents?
