Install first time. Add On Quesion

Post by xlr8 »

I was reading here at the prepar3d site, and saw a area where it explained how to install addon aircraft. I followed the instructions how to but the path it shows is.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D\SimObjects\Airplanes

I have nothing in my C:\Program Files (x86).

Mine are located here. C:\Program Files .

Does this indicate the game is installed wrong?

The difference between Program Files (x86) and Program Files is that the x86 area is for 32 bit programs where the other is for 64 bit programs. The default installation for P3Dv4 is in the 64 bit area. The site information was probably referring to P3D v1-v3, which are 32 bit programs.
