Gee8ch 1 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I have had to reinstall P3DV4.3 but, although I have the 'add-on' xml file in the Documents Folder pointing to the 'SimObjects' Folder, the aircraft are not showing in P3D. According to Vol1, I should not have to reinstall the airbus. Gee8ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted August 24, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 24, 2018 The question in this case is, in which folder did you originally install the Airbus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee8ch 1 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 It is installed in the C-Users-MyPC-Documents-Aerosoft etc. P3D is installed in another drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 24, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 24, 2018 The sim should have kept the link to the aircraft indeed, seems something was removed that should not have been removed. I suggest a re-install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee8ch 1 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 OK thanks Mathijs. I will do A full reinstall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee8ch 1 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 That has done the trick. Thinking back, I removed P3D following instructions obtained from searching the web and the first thing it stated to do was to remove both the P3D Add-ons and the P3D Files Folders and this might have cause the problem. I wondered whether I should delete these two folders but I did after taking a backup of them and reinstalled from the copy when P3D was installed. However I did not do anything to the Aerosoft Folder so I would have thought that the 'add-on' file would still have worked. Anyway all is OK now.

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted August 24, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 24, 2018 Best solution is to install addons completely outside P3D in a separate folder. Example if you have P3D installed at c:/P3D, you can create a folder like c:/addons and install all addons using the new installation methode in this folder. if you ever need to reinstall P3D then simply leave this addon folder as it is and you will get back your addons without reinstalling them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk 799 Posted August 24, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 24, 2018 One note from my side: 1. “Documents\P3Dv4 Addons\addonfolder\add-on.xml” will be restored automatically. 2. “Wherever\addonfolder\add-on.xml” will not be restored automatically. This location is registered in one of the two add-on.cfg files. If that cfg is removed while reinstalling P3Dv4, you have to reregister manually or by backup of the cfg file.
