updates 5.0.24.34874

[wombat]

Hi Guys,
Looks like i have got behind with my updates, I have ver 5.0.24.34874 to bring this up to date would I just download and install v5.2 hotfix because it is the last one or would I need to download and install each one in order ie: v5.1 followed by v5.2 then the v5.2 hot fix 1?
regards wombat (Ron)

@ wombat ,

When you look in your P3D Account what do you see is available for downloading now?

Note:
Always a good idea to keep a copy of your current P3D full download Zip file just in case it it needed later.

Did you read this (from my previous post / reply)?

yes i did, that link takes me to the hotfix 1, I usually do the content only updates not the full install

thank you for your help, I will have another read of that link and see if I can work it out.

@ wombat ,

You are welcome.

In the link:
https://www.prepar3d.com/news/announcem ... 06/120807/

It mentioned:
“Please note, you must first have Prepar3D v5 installed to utilize any of the standalone installers (Client, Content, and Scenery).”
You said you have P3Dv5 installed so you are OK to use them.

The link also mentions:
“The newly posted Prepar3D v5.2 (5.2.22.27615) Full Download on the Purchased Downloads page includes Hotfix 1.”
That is what you said was in your P3D Account so you are ok to use it.


In your case I would suggest:

First verify your Add-ons have been tested and approved for use with P3Dv5.2 with HF1 (the current download in your P3D Account).

Uninstall all your Add-ons.

Uninstall P3D.

Download the new P3D product.

Verify the Checksum.

Virus checker Off.

Install the new P3D product.

Reboot your PC.

Test P3D in a default state.

If all is ok.

Install your Add-ons one at a time and verify each works with P3D before installing the next Add-on.


Here are some helpful guides:
