Installing in wrong sim version

Post by Slowfly72 » Sat May 25, 2019 11:01 pm

I just purchased the T-38A and followed the instructions for install. It goes to P3Dv3 and it should be P3D v4.4. Would appreciate where i went wrong.
I have had the old T-38 in FSX for years. Thanks to anyone that can help. Slowfly72

Did you see this screen? Please run the installer again, do you see both your versions listed?
(I have only v.4, so that is the only one displayed)

I checked PreparV4 - When i do the download it goes to Internet Explorer and downloads V3. I don't use internet explorer as my search engine. I use Firefox. Now, i get a message i am out of downloads check with my Merchant. I don't know why it goes to "Internet Explorer"

Aha - V3 in the file name is nothing to do with the SIM platform. It just marks the third major revision of the product. I can confirm you have the correct installer for P3D v4.

Your download quota has been reset.
Don't forget to temporarily disable your antivirus and to run the installer as admin.

I used up the 5 downloads you sent trying to figure out why it shows V3 when i try to download. add more downloads again. If i can't get it working this time i Quit. I followed you instructions but it still downloads v3. Thank you.

The installer version number (v3) has nothing to do with the simulator version number. It should have the Prepar3D v4 radio button you see in Ois's screenshot. So I don't understand what your problem is.
