Installing C172, C182 and J3-Cub on P3D5

Post by CitMusJoe »

I've installed some time ago the A2A C172 Trainer, C182 and the J3-Cub (Professional each) on P3D4.
Now I've purchased and installed P3D5 Professional.
I've downloaded the latest A2A-installers before I started the A2A aircraft installations. When I tried to install the installer says that I need to uninstall the A2A P3D4-version.

So my question:
What can I do in which sequence to run all three A2A planes (Professionel version) on P3D4 _and_ P3D5 (lastest version with latest HF)? Sorry, didn't find any answer here.

Hi Joe,

Are you sure you've downloaded the correct P3Dv5 installers for your aircraft? If so, they shouldn't tell you to uninstall the P3Dv4 version of the corresponding add-on as there's nothing to prevent customers from having the same plane installed in P3Dv4 and v5.

However, it sounds like you may be trying to run the P3Dv4 installer twice. Either that, or some changes have been made to your Windows registry at some point.

Thanks,

Hi Nick,
first of all many thanks for your reply.

Within Windows 10 Pro, latest version update, I see the following entries in the list of Window's SystemControlPanel:

Accu-Sim C172 Trainer for Prepar3D v4
A2A Simulations Inc.
13.May.2022
341 MB
v 19.12.27.0
Path: C:\Users\***\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\A2A

Accu-Sim C182 Skylane for Prepar3D v4

Accu-Sim J-3 Cub for Prepar3D v4
A2A Simulations Inc.
13.May.2022
1.22 GB
v 20.2.3.0
Path: C:\Users\***\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\A2A

P3D4 was newly installed on the same day, one day after I had to setup Windows again as it didn't start anymore.

I redownloaded the latest A2A installer this (installation) day, just before installing for P3D4.

BTW, I didn't change/edit anything in the Windows registry. I installed all after I got the latest Windows updates.

Some days later I also installed P3D5 parallel, but on a different drive. The coexistance of both P3D versions work so far quite good. They can't be used simultaneously (I assume) as I can only fly on one single active sim anyway, as I'm not a multitasking-pilot <grin>.

Hope this helps to be able to help me further.
Joe

BTW, I've downloaded the three aircraft installers from within my A2A account, where 7 or 8 downloads are still remaining. I assume these downloads are the latest, are they?

Hi Joe,

What's the filename of the A2A installers you're trying to use for P3Dv5? For them to work for P3Dv5, they must contain "P3Dv5" in the filename, not "P3Dv4". Both installers are available from your account on the store via different download buttons, as shown below.

Hi Nick,

I followed carefully your advice in the previous message. Now it worked. I didn't take the correct installer. In other words: I used the installers for P3DV4 instead of the installers for P3DV5.

Thank you for your support!
