• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

P3D v4 Installing AIFP for P3d

Hello. I am trying to install AI Flight Planner to use with P3d ver 4 but get the error message "No version of Flight Sim found in System Registry. AIFP cannot continue and will now shut down".
I have seen a similar post for someone trying to install for FSX SE, but not sure how to adapt the solution for P3d. Can someone help please?
I have previously installed and uninstalled FSX, FSX.SE and versions of P3d and i suspect the registry is not how it should be, but have no idea how to rectify this. The prvioiusly mentioned FSX SE post also mentions creating a file named AIFP.ini but I would need some help to adapt this solution for P3d. Thank you very much and a Happy New Year to all.
Robert

First of all, delete AIFP.ini and then run AIFP. AIFP will generate a "clean" aifp.ini. (That will clean out any old paths and make new ones for installed versions of FS.) If that doesn't solve your problem, then if Pv4 is installed, it's registry entries are not standard.

If AIFP still doesn't find Pv4, open aifp.ini in any text editor, e.g., Notepad, find the item " Path to P3Dv4" and set it to the path to the folder containing Pv4's P3D.exe

Thank you gadgets. It seems that there was no "ini" file as the programme had not run. Therefore, my son created a new "ini" file and pointed it to P3d in E drive. Programme now running. Thank you very much.

It would seem therefore, that the .ini file is only created after a successful run. I'll have to address that.

Glad you're up and running. But, if your AIFP can't find your Rv4 items in the registry, the other programs may have the same difficulty. Perhaps an uninstall and re-install should be attempted anyway.

This was a re-install of P3d and AIFP. I have had problems installing other programmes and think I would need to re-install the operating system. Would that be a fair assumption?
Thanks
