where to install in P3Dv4

I have downloaded and attempted to install DHC-2 Beaver, Expansion Pack, T38A, T38A Adv with only partial luck. When I install it won't recocgnise my P3Dv4 drive L as appropriate. So I direct it to the P3D add-ons folder in C://Users etc. they all seem to load but, none show up in P3D when I try to select an AC nor are they in the Simobjects file. The Beaver, T38A show up in the Milviz program but the T38A Adv and Beaver Expansion pack do not. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

The ADV and expansion packs do not add new AMS modules. All AMS functionality is covered under their respective base product. I will let someone else look at the installer problem.

you MUST install all MV aircraft in the default location or they will not function properly.

Though this is not the case with other sims, it absolutely is with V4.

Sorry but that's the way of it.

Thanks for the two answers. I am clear now on the Adv and Expansion packs. Krazycolin, please confirm that the default installation pack would be P3Dv4/simobjects/ airplanes?

Thanks for the help. All installed and working great except that the Flight1 GTN Complete show black screens only in the VC. I have not been able to turn them on. I have posated this in the Flight 1 GTN forum and asked for help. Any ideas here?
