So, the same issues keep being brought up and answered (and we're only 3 pages deep people!):
1. Yes, you NEED to do a clean install, because the folder structure changed (apparently this is part of a performance optimization effort). It's likely as annoying for you to go through this hassle, as it is to have LMs servers bear the weight of everyone downloading a 10gb zip file. Just how the world works.
2. FTX doesn't work, ORBX is on it. new installer inbound shortly. You can try backing up the 2.4 scenery config and moving it back to the install file afterwords though. (I plan to just wait for the update myself)
That said, request for moderators: Could we maybe get a sticky thread of "2.5 compatible add-ons" created? Would be nice to have an organized source of what users have reported does and does not work. I think that would help clear up some coms a bit

Folder structure has changed with version 2.5 thats why all have to do fresh install, ASN currently does not support the new folder structure There is a new version coming out to run with P3D version 2.5.
Not to be snide, but these things have been covered in forum. Adam has been telling users about the File structure change as have others. Reading the forum to get information can be valuable, Hi Fi Simulations forum has info on new version of their ASN to work with version 2.5. All other flight forums have threads covering this. It's been talked about for weeks.
A lot of Publishers will have to rewrite installers. There are programs around that will do this install into new file structure already. Info is in the forums, here and at avsim.

hi all, i just think what i'll do
1. backup scenery.cfg, controls xml profile, exe/dll.xml, config file
2. uninstall
3. del it %PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2
%APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Prepar3D v2 Files
4. install to same place
5. start the game and recovery controls profile then exit
6. copy simobjects configuration from config file to simobjects.cfg then move backuped files to their new places
so every thing stay with me because uninstaller simulator will no touch any 3rd party files
is it right?
ah, 7. waiting for orbx patch for use ftx center, i think this will with new orbx libraries
instead "7" every thing(all addons) stay as was in 2.4?

some addons change some files, so may be need backup yet /terrain/ and /textures/...
precipitation effect yet
just curiouse why no patch? couldn't patch change kernel and move some files and register new path? if not, why? may be some textures and scenery files must be changed as critical way?
it is true, if i can sure all my addons will installed same as was it is not bad, but i just a litle chicken and i amao(afraid instead laughing)
actually, i just couple a days found fix for madeira and lisbon2 aerosoft scenerys, and both work in 2.4 same with bermuda latinvfr, and all what i got now in c:\p3d is 172gb, after 30 off clean install, so i realy need stay with 2.4 and install 2.5, so may be i can add profile for that? excuze my stupid brain and horrible english, but i laughting just for not start cry right now
