Hello, All:

 

I've been trying to find a way to install the Twin Otter into P3D v5. I have found a few posts that say some individuals have installed the Twin into v5 but there are no instructions on how to do so. I've downloaded the latest version from my Aerosoft account but the installer has no option for P3D v5: just v4. I have a P3D v4 Addons folder and when I try to install to that I get an error stating "FSX Cannot be found".

 

Is there an installer for v5? Or a possible work around? I only have P3D v5 installed on the new PC I built and would like very much to be able to fly the Twin again. If anyone knows how to install it to v5 and is willing to provide instructions I would really appreciate it.

The installer only works up to P3Dv4. But you can try to contact the user in this post via PM and ask him how he installed it in v5

 

Hi,

 

I used this method (sorry the article is in German language): https://simmershome.de/prepar3d-v4-installer-in-prepar3d-v5-nutzen/

In fact you are creating a symbolic link from P3Dv4 to P3Dv5. By that all installers, which are only able to install into P3Dv4 will install into the P3Dv5 structure. Of course this is now unwanted by LM, as they prefer to have custom code outside of their directories. But for the Twotter it works without any problem.
