Prepar3DV5 Compatibility

[trisho0]

I launched to the FlyTampa Universal Installer and after enter the key code the setup line shows like to be installed in P3dv5 which I guess is normal. So, if I change the location to the P3Dv4, will the setup install the scenery for P3Dv4? I don't want to mess my original P3Dv4 but to update to the following version.
Any directions ideas etc?

Yes, if you have both v4 and v5 installed the correct procedure to install into v4 is to change the folder tov4 .

Thank you Martin for helping me on this.

Hi,

As I am new to P3Dv5, could you please give me instructions of how to install Athens on that platform ?
I started the installer and it says to install in root P3D folder contrary to suggestions of P3D readme.
Is this way valid ?

P.S. Has anybody come across this ? (see attachment).

Solution found on the issue quoted in my previous post.

Another problem is that it is impossible to edit/correct/modify AFX_LGAV.bgl not even using the AFX program (unable to open it). It is possible though to open it with ADE 1.79, however, if anychange is saved and compiled, LGAV jetways, Main terminal and satellite terminal are not showing in P3Dv5 thereafter. As in the real life airports change from time to time, so AFD files should be editable/corrected and/or modified accordingly, as it was possible in FSX and the previous version of FlyTampa Athens, in which I had succeeded to make AI traffic work in LGAV as in real airport.
I don't see a reason why not with v1.6 as well.
This time I 'd wish to have a response by FlyTampa support on this subject.

I had the same problem. Thanks for the tips!

Hi,

Another issue I have to cope with is : Around one mile before touchdown the apron of LGAV begins to disappear and after touch no apron/taxiway/runway lines are seen. Talking about v1.6 and P3Dv5HF1.
I am curious if another fellow simmer has faced/sorted this.
It is important to me as LGAV is my homebase airport.

Thanks in advance,

Sotiris

Finally the culprit was the file cvxATHENSKML.bgl.
As soon as it was disabled, the issue was gone.
It's a wonder that nobody else running P3Dv5.2HF1 did notice it.

Couldn't find a specific post about your sceneries (and sorry if there is)
Have some FlyTampa sceneries for P3Dv4.
Can I install them in my P3Dv5? If so how to do it?
Tks

When considering Prepar3D V5 compatibility, users likely assess the seamless integration of their preferred add-ons, aircraft, and scenery. Compatibility ensures a smooth and immersive flight simulation experience, influencing a user's decision to upgrade and enhance their virtual aviation environment.

I have a new computer with Windows 11 Pro installed. I’m having problems when approaching EHAM. Long pauses lasting a couple of minutes which eventually cease and I can land.

Windows Virus protection is very aggressive and I’m wondering if there’s an executable or DLL for FlyTampa airports I need to add to the exclusions.

Thanks for any help.

Does anyone from flyTampa even read or respond to these posts? I have this exact same issue and I see no sign of any response or fix a year and a half later.

I own about a half dozen flyTampa products purchased recently but I don’t think I will be buying anymore if they don’t care to fix long-standing issues.

This has been answered numerous times on the forum. These errors are of zero significance. P3D may pick up different .fx errors at every iteration/update LM does on their code, so it's impossible to keep up correcting the .fx code-regardless they have no meaning/effect at all for the sim running.
