• 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.

Registry Keys FSX, FSX-SE, P3Dv1, P3Dv2

That's correct, there is no space in the P3D v1 key, while the other have.

Isn't it nice when they change things to make it more complex :D
 
Thanks for confirming it Arno,

Right, LOL! Actually not a big problem but it's important to know (and notice) that in advance. I originally though it was a typo error...

One more silly question: Can I assume all flavors of FS (FS2002, 2004, X, STEAM Ed.) and P3Ds (1, 2, 3) have the "fonts" sub folder under their respective root?
 
Hi guys,

I need to create an installer that will deposit a few FLT/FSSAVE/WX files into

C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Flight Simulator X - Steam Edition Files

and go in and add entries to dll.xml and fsx_se.cfg (and possibly a few others) in

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE

I've looked through this thread and I don't see any registry entries for these two locations. Any idea where/how to get to them?

Also, any suggestions on what utility to get to add/modify .xml amd .cfg files on installation?

I've used InstallShield before, and it is quite powerful, but that was a while ago and I remember it was quite involving, and it needed a bit of script writing to get it done.
I'm just wondering if there is anything else out there that would accomplish what I need, namely appending/inserting text blocks at certain file locations.
 
No registry entries, there are environment variables that you can use to get the values. Something like %APPDATA% for the second one, %USERPROFILE% for the first one and add downstream folders

Hi all,

32 & 64 Bit - Alternate

Platform: FSX, FSX XPack, FSX Gold (Verified)

RootKey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: \Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0
SubKey: AppPath

Platform: FSX Steam Edition (Verified)

RootKey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: \Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator - Steam Edition\10.0
Subkey: AppPath

Platform: Prepar3d v2 (Verified)

RootKey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER

SubKey: AppPath

Platform: Prepar3d v1 (Verified)

RootKey: HKEY_CURRENT USER
Key: \Software\LockheedMartin\Prepar3D
SubKey: AppPath

Can somebody confirm that for P3D v4 this CURRENT USER key is also present? Although not in this list I know that for v3 it is the case, but also for v4?
 
For P3DV4, that key is "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\AppPath".

At least, that's where it is in my installation.
 
Thanks, so that's the same structure as before.

Later I realised that now with it being a 64 bit application there is only one key in LOCAL MACHINE as well, so maybe less need for the CURRENT USER one.
 
Hi all

I use the Install Creator PRO from ClickTeam. Although I do not know whether this product is still supported..
 
Does the list of keys in OP still hold true?
I use FSX Accel only, but I'd like to know installation paths to P3D in the windows registry for the app I'm working on. I'm particularly interested in Prepare 3D v2, v3, and v4.
SODE FAQ also mentions "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4" ->> SetupPath (instead of AppPath when found under HKEY_CURRENT_USER) for P3D v4. So, what's the proper/absolute location for key search in this case? I'm a little bit confused...

Thanks!
 
I use the AppPath value for P3Dv4 in my tools and that seems to work fine.

I use Clickteam's Install Creator (free version) and only the AppPath registry key seems to work, the other one (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SetupPath) does not. I believe there is some security related reason for that...but I don't care as long as the AppPath based one does what is supposed to! :cool:
 
Hi!

Could anybody help with Prepar3D v6 installation folders? Are they the same as before?

#MyDocuments#\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\

My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5", "SetupPath", Nothing)


Thanks!
