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 toWhat Im looking for is after downloading all the 5.2 parts due to my TX down under connection lol. Do I uninstall the Client and deactivate and then install and activate in the Short to the point sense.
Ok I followed the LM advice and did not do the full clean reinstall but followed the update process - Delete the program part by part via the WIN10 APP using the Win 10 APP controller - then reinstall Client first, then Content, then Scener in that sequence.
All installed, version verified and all changes confirmed. No need to reinstall anything, found them all and kept the addons as they were.
Has a different menu bar and menu selection. Now asks you if you want to save the last scenario when you exit. I checked the sky for the EA- True Sky changes with the time slider - no more blood red skies much more realistic. Worked fine with ORBX addon scenery and with real time Wx Engine (P3DWX) running to give real weather. Changed locations around the globe and vehicles. No problems encountered at all. I like the volumetric cloud control now via the Weather GUI.
A really big change - SIM DIRECTOR - now works as advertised, with all my scenery and vehicle addons - it took less than a minute for SIM Director to launch and be ready to use!
Well no complaints - I am now very impressed a great job and worth waiting for - this is a real simulator.

This happened to me when I upgraded to 5.1. My solution was to navigate to the P3D.cfg file and delete it. Then started P3D and let it rebuild. Problem solved. Apparently if you uninstall P3D the cfg file remains behind. If you save a copy before you delete it you may be able to save time with remapping your controllers and custom setting by putting back in after the sim recovers. Hope this helpsWell I now have a major puzzle!. I tried everything, location, time, models, etc etc. Worked my way through the hangar and left the best till last 2 portovers from FSX (all fixed re 64 bit internal models etc etc,) These worked without any problems in 5.1 both now cause the sim to CTD. They all appear in the vehicle menu, then on select to fly the screen goes black and then P3D just quits - no error messages, no event log info nothing. Took them out, reinstalled them, same outcome!. This has me stumped! 2 only 2 and absolutely nothing else. hmmmm!
