I need to install v4.3 but how?

Post by montydon »

I have v4.3 which I am pretty happy with except I have windows 10 problems so need to re-install Windows.In my ignorance I thought "no problem-just download the full installer from LM legacy". I have not retained the original download. Now I find that only v4.5 (which seems to have issues at present) is available. So is the only way to do this downloading v.4.5 and then uninstalling the client & replacing it with the 4.3 client and will this work please? If not I am stuck unless v4.5 is fixed but even then I bet a lot of my add-ons will not work. If only I had saved the original 4.3 download!

4.5 is working just fine for me. If your addons work in 4.3 they should all work in 4.5.

I always keep a copy of the prior release JIC I have a problem.Once I'm confident all is well I may delete it.

There is nothing wrong with the combination of Windows 10 and P3D v.4.5 or 4.5 hotfix.

Thanks for the replies which give me some confidence of going straight to v4.5 with a clean Windows 10 install. I have now seen that the hotfix is available. If I now download from LM the full install will this already be "fixed" or should I wait a bit? I am not sure how this works but presumably no one will now want v4.5 without the fix. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated

If you get the full install, then the hotfix will be in it.

Have fun -

Thanks Jorgen. I think "fun" is not a word I readily associate with P3d. "Challenge" is for me a better word! Brian
