• 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.

Prepar3D add-on registry location...

Is there a registry key for the Prepar3D v4/5 add on location.

Or would it be

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \current user\documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons?

Thanks

Addons are always in the Documents\Prepar3D vX Add-ons folder.. where the X represents the major version of the sim. It's not something that can be changed (that I'm aware of) so no need for a registry entry.

Yes, I also use the above rule in my tools. I'm not aware of a registry entry for it.

Thank you.

Additionally effects still have to be placed into the Prepar3d vx root effects folder correct?

Thanks.

While I don't work with effects... the add-on xml method supports effects files in custom locations. L-M really desires that developers stop placing files in the core sim folders.
