Please do no experiments Eduard, simply follow LM's guide from the downloadsite of your Prepar3D to the letter. That's really all you need to do.

Now that you seemed to messed up everything, yes, start from the ground with a fresh install of everything (after uninstalling everything).

i have followed the steps of the guide and know all is working as it should. exe now is 4.2, P3D about now says I'm running 4.2, i have uninstalled and reinstalled content and scenery. No need to reinstall the planes, they load with no problems, also Active sky does not work as expected.  so thanks for your help guys.

If you reinstalled Scenery as well and have ORBX I would check this post as well. There are some steps you have to do to make ORBX working properly. Follow the link below and scroll down to this section:

As far as I know ORBX is not fully compatible to 4.2 yet and FTX Central is still in Beta. Several of my ORBX sceneries are messed up.

[Edit] The link is very helpful since Elaine ("Poppet") is the galactic expert on the topic.

 

With regard to what Orbx/FTXC products may or may not work in P3Dv4.1, their commercial site on Avsim is anyone's best source of information. While some may not feel comfortable with beta software, their "Fastlane" for FTX Central for most seems to resolve any issues with their P3Dv4 products. See the "ObjectFlow 2 Open Beta" for more.
