Updated to P3D V4 and no C172 Trainer

Post by [email protected] »

Updated to P3D V4 and no C172 Trainer. Tried reinstalling plane and running updater and copying plane folder from V3 to V4. Nothing is working. So what do I have to do to get my plane into V4?

Did you re-download the installer and use the provided V4 version?

I am speaking about the aircraft installer. You will need to use the V4 version of the installer and not the V3 version.

The updater is a separate matter and should only be run if you are using P3D V4.1 not V4.0.

No, I used the disk or file I got for V3 that I got when I bought the C172 Trainer. Where would I find the new installer?

As I noted above, re-download the installer package from the store and use the included V4 installer.

The NEW installer can't find A2A_Accusim.dll file. I searched and confirmed that the file is there in the directory that the installer indicated. Now what?

Hello,

no that's the Accu-sim updater not the aircraft. You will need to download the P3Dv4 version of the aircraft to install into P3Dv4.

Ok sounds good. Where do I get that? Can't find it on the website unless I'm supposed to buy the plane again. Where do I get the P3D V4 of the C172 Trainer?

Hello,

simply re-download your order and inside you will find the extra software installer for P3Dv4.

If you download your purchase again, the P3D V4 installer will be included. The downloads were revised with the V4 installer some time back. In the package you will find two installers one pre V4 and one for V4.

Finally we have progress! Thank you gentlemen. Just to clarify for other forum readers, you need to download your original purchase from the link sent to you via email when you bought the plane. A2A should note that getting updates is generally done through the website after logging in as a customer. Therefore the confusion, at least for me. Thanks again!
