V5.2 ????

Post by clive6354 »

Hello

It appears that Adam J Pestridge is promoting and demonstrating installation procedures for v5.2 using the P3D official logo on his YOUTUBE channel. This is amazing and very confusing for users considering that v2 has not even been released.

If LM wants to pursue action against him for NDA violation, here is the link on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPE70Xl ... NbUlqfj7_i

He's probably not under NDA and is giving generic upgrade instructions, just clickbait...

The YouTube title is «UPDATE TO P3D 5.2 IN 5 EASY STEPS”.
Why does he write this if it is not version 5.2?

The reference to V5.2 within the title of the video has now been deleted

The title now reads " UPDATE P3D IN 5 EASY STEPS"

I was under the impression that LM had made the P3D update process as easy as possible. The P3D logo gives the impression that this video is endorsed by LM

I have just watched the video titled UPDATE P3D IN 5 EASY STEPS, by Adam J Pestridge (previously titled UPDATE P3D v5.2 IN 5 EASY STEPS) which contains the P3D logo and therefore gives the impression that it is endorsed by LM

I have never experienced "5 Easy Steps" become so confusing, and contradictory. From what I know of this guy's system the process which he goes through is only meant for his glitchy system but he has convinced himself that this is the correct way to do it. The way in which he speaks gives a very good impression that he knows what he is talking about, however, what he does say is confusing, condescending, and contradictory

For any new use to P3D I would advise not to follow the advice given by Adam J Pestridge but to read the LM documentation as LM have made the process so easy and straightforward, I have always followed the LM documentation and have never had a problem

To each their own system I guess. The same procedure does not work for everybody.
Over the years I have just uninstalled the old version and installed the new version and everything remains intact.
Just have to copy over a few modifications I've done here and there but that's about it.
