Hi,
I've just installed the P3Dv4 version and to my surprise it uses the log files from the FSX version. Meaning that the settings, airframe and engine hours are identical. The "...\Documents\A2A\P3D\Bonanza35" folder is empty and all changes are saved in the "...\Documents\A2A\FSX\Bonanza35" folder. Is that how it is supposed to work? I would prefer it if both versions were independent of each other.
Greetings
Tim
FSX and P3Dv4 version are using the same data files

Re: FSX and P3Dv4 version are using the same data files
Hi Tim,
Yep, this is actually the way it's always been for the Accu-Sim aircraft for Prepar3D. The general idea is to allow users to share 'their' aircraft between both sim platforms, and for those transitioning from FSX to P3Dv4, it makes the process of retaining those aircraft hours and its persistent state as simple as possible.
Thanks,
Nick

So this thread https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewto ... 94&t=65409 for the P-51 describes the same I thing?
If I uninstall the FSX Version of the plane, can I than move the files to the P3D subfolder?! Or should I better leave it where it is?
Thanks
Jens

Thanks for the info, Nick! I guess I haven't spent enough time with the P3Dv4 versions yet.
