MAN I got to tell you, YOU SAVED MY LIFE !!!! After about a month without any more ideas, I found your video, and it is working great now, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Thanks a lot man , you save me .. if you got problem with this path C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\ , Try this when you make change in prepar3d v2 C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 , it works for me
Mine already had all the folders and data specified that needed too be added, but I still can't install PMDG aircraft, get error message no P3D installation. Win10, P3D Professional Plus
I don't understand something, please confirm that to me. If I have installed Prepar3d v3, you have to create the v2 registry entry? or it is just if you had the v2 version installed in the past? thanks!
Alin Duplea it's if you have v3 installed, sometimes installers look for a v2 entry and that can be missing, this adds the v2 entry.basicay what this means is that if you have an addon that doesn't work with v3 but works with v2, it will install it... it disguises your v3 as v2 when necessary
Can you help me please? Im running REX essential plus HD 3.4.2014.1126 and prepar3d 3.4.22.19868 Im using windows 10 64 bit . When I load up REX, it shows both my Prepar3d and FSX licenses as purchased, but when I try to load textures into the simulator, a popup shows up saying "you cannot install textures into Prepar3d until you have a valid license key". This confuses me as ive already purchased the Prepar3d license for REX
try renaming your p3d.cfg to p3d old.cfg and move it (dont copy) to a folder you can come back to if you need to, this will let the sim build a new cfg on load and try it again
hi, i have a problem with P3d v2. "Could not communication with serwer Activation failed code 4". I deactivated firewall and antivirus, problem stay again. Please help me if u want.
SOLVED FOR ALL P3D V4 USERS: You must do exactly what he does in the first part of the video. Starting from 3:25, include all the folders you see on his computer in the said locations, along with your P3D v4 folders. You must do what he says for both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\ and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node. If there is no Lockheed Martin folder in the WOW6432Node folder, then create one and do the same thing again. Good luck if this made sense
hello i want to ask about this : Checking version of the Prepar3D v3 EXE: Couldn't obtain Version Info! Asking user to find Prepar3D v3.EXE ..., why i have that message? really need your help thanks!
i did all of this but pmdg keeps telling me 'unable to locate fsx.exe ' +I have another version of pmdg says your registry does not show a valid fsx installation location please help me
Naman Bansal whatever is written in "Hkey Local Machine/software/wow6432node/Lockheed Martin/prepar3d v3/Licence" is the way the license should be written
THANK YOU!! Worked Great!! but you have to make sure the address is where your Prepar3D.exe is, for me it was C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3
Thank you for the fix bro. With the reg edit i finally installed the pmdg aircrafts which was not happening before due to failure to find the correct folder location. However, after doing the reg edit and installing pmdg the new problem is that the screen goes black when i start prepar3D v3 and nothing happens then. When i open the task manager its still running but nothing shows up on the screen and I cant do anything. I found few videos on youtube who have tried to solve that but none of those fixes work for me. Can you help me with this ?
This hasn't fixed my problem (for 2.5). I have FS Migration Tool installed. With the tool disabled, programs can't find P3D. But enabled, they find it just fine. Very strange.
hello bro from ukanie, i have a kinda prble, when i start up my pre3d comes a message saying RAAS pro is out of date, i put dont download new versiona data, and then comes another title saying bglmanx.dll erro doesnt found, simconnect library dont found, i tried everything, it happends to me because i before installed 747 pmdg, i didnt liked and i deleted it, when again i wanted start pre3d comes those messages ((( help please dude +homeslyc_
Diegoblogs hey man, sounds like you're p3d is totally messed up, open the prepar3d setup and click on repair. let me know how that goes and if that doesn't fix it
This is probably something to do with the addon you're trying to install not being made with v4 in mind, since v4 is relatively new not many things support it yet
make sure its set to your root folder, some peoples prepar3d.exe is located under lockheed martin\prepar3d where as mine is located in just the lockheed martin folder itself, i dont have a prepar3d folder after lockheed martin so just make sure your root directory is correct
You really fucking helped me on this one. I bought P3D V4, i didn't have any P3D before, so i had to do some stuff myself. I don't know why, but i didn't have the folder Lockheed Martin on the WOW6432NODE key, that's inside software and Local Machine, so i had to create it and created Prepar3D V2, Prepar3D V3 and Prepar3D V4, then i did what u said on the video. I'm saying this because someone might be in the same situation. Sorry for my English, and thank you so much !!!
I did what you said, but now it says "An outdated version of Prepar3D v3 has been detected/ Before you can install this PMDG product you will need to update Prepar3D." I have Prepar3D 4.2....... Help?
can you help me ?? i installed p3d v3.2 and than as i open p3d than it says configure scenery and than as it has 100% it says error and you can close program i follow your steps but also the same as i have without your help pleas help me
I just purchased a new 64 bit computer the Prepar3d and PMDG add on. In Prepar3D vehicle I select PMDG press OK with a error message: PMDG Debug Warning: the PMDG product was unable to create its work files, Please make sure you are running Prepar3D as administrator.
