Question before I buy V3

[Montie]

So coming from V2 I can usually direct a FSX installer to the V2 folder and install without little to no issues. How does this work in V3? Read the addon stuff is kept outside the V3 folder...

FSX and V2.5 OOMs is killing me.

You can still do the same, and it will work as before. Many P3dv3 payware addons still do this, despite it being against recommended practice. Any issues may come when P3d gets an update.
I use a dummy "P3d-user" folder and install into that, with the relevant paths added to the appropriate cfgs.
Works for most things, but some more complex addons (PMDG, A2A etc) may need to be installed into the real P3d folder.

Thanks, thought of something else. Is it possible to install Tackpak in V3?

 

[Daube]

No, TackPack is not available for v3. It seems VRS is not so motivated to make it v3 compatible for the moment. They said they want to wait for a "stable" version... which means we probably won't see any TacPack for v3 until the v4 is announced by LM...

 

[DaveWG]

They are working on it, but there's no ETA.

Thanks for the replies. I am downloading V3 and FSX Acc (boxed version) has been wiped.
