Has anyone been able to trick the Captain Sim C-130 package installer to work with P3d version 3? I bought the package but can't install it
We just posted part one of the how to on uploading new files to the Library. Part 1 covers adding new files. Part 2 will cover making changes to your the uploads you own.
Questions or comments please post them in the regular forums. Which forum is that... Well it is the one you spend the most time in.
Thanks the Staff
Library How toDo you have FSX installed? If so install it to that and copy it over.
If not you could try making a dummy FSX folder some ware on you hard drive, copy your P3D.exe to it and rename it to FSX.exe
Download the FSX-Registry-Utility from https://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Registry-Tweak/FSX-Registry-Utility.shtml
run it and point it to the dummy FSX.exe
Now try installing to the dummy FSX folder and coping it over to P3D from there.
ahh thanks for explanationOnly with V4 and above, Brian's using V3.
I agree, this process works for me.I still stand by my copying of the P3D.exe file and renaming the copy "FSX.exe" since most of the installers that look for FSX see it and allow you to flat out install it since the file structures are identical to FSX. Granted it doesn't always work, but most of the installation programs I've used it for will work with this little mod. No needing to mess with registries, or any other special tools. Just do the copy, paste, rename the copied exe and run the installer(s).
I ran P3Dv3 for many years and it ran fine but with the use of the tool I mentioned earlier (Estonia Migration tool).Okay, not much feed inside your responses (I have v3 - welp, that didn't work - nope).
So on the one hand, I know it is possible to get it to work, on the other hand, I would appreciate a little more feedback for example what you did try in the meantime or something about your installation.
But it's on you....
Estonia Migration Tool is what you need.
