Für Active Sky gibt es bereits eine Beta Update damit es auch in der neuen Version läuft. Ein Update für den FSLabs Airbus ist bereits in Bearbeitung und sollte in kürze erscheinen. ORBX hat auch bereits ein Update veröffentlicht, allerdings muss man sich dafür für die FASTLANE auf der ORBX Seite freigeschaltet haben.
Hier noch die Anleitung von LM wie ihr P3D Updatet.
Updating Prepar3D v4
When minor updates are released for Prepar3D v4, there are two options available to update Prepar3D
v4. The recommended method is simply updating using the Client installer. This is the quickest and
least error prone. When you uninstall the Client, you will be prompted about whether or not you wish to
deactivate Prepar3D. You can choose “No” if you are simply updating the same machine and, therefore,
will not have to reactivate once the reinstall is finished.
You can also update by doing a complete uninstall and reinstall of the entire application, but often that
is not necessary or desired.
Note: You must have already installed the full Prepar3D application in order to update just the client.
On the Prepar3D.com Downloads page, enter your license ID and password (found under “Description”
on your invoice) and download the appropriate Install_Client.msi file. Next, open the Control Panel from
the Windows start menu, and click Uninstall a program under Programs. Find Prepar3D * Client (where
the asterisk (*) is the Prepar3D v4 variant (Academic, Professional, or Professional Plus)). Right-click it,
select Uninstall, and then follow the instructions on the wizard. After it has finished uninstalling, select
the close button and then open the Install_Client.msi to begin the update. Proceed with the onscreen
instructions to complete the update.
Aside from the Client, the other two components to a Prepar3D installation are Content and Scenery,
each of which may have additional changes with a minor update. The updating process for each of these
components is nearly identical to that of the Client.
Note: Update the Client component first, before updating either the Content or Scenery components.
On the Prepar3D.com Downloads page, enter your license ID and password (found under “Description”
on your invoice) and download the appropriate msi file for which the component you’re updating:
Install_Content.msi or Install_Scenery.msi file. If you are installing the Content component, then you will
need to download the cont1.cab file. Likewise, you will need to download the scene1.cab thru
scene6.cab files if you are updating the Scenery component. Make sure that all of the downloaded files
are in the same folder. Next, open the Control Panel from the Windows start menu, and click Uninstall a
program under Programs. Find Prepar3D * Content or Prepar3D * Scenery (where the asterisk (*) is the
Prepar3D v4 variant (Academic, Professional, or Professional Plus)). Right-click the component you wish
to uninstall, select Uninstall, and then follow the instructions on the wizard. After it has finished
uninstalling, select the close button and then open either the Install_Content.msi or the
Install_Scenery.msi to begin the update. Proceed with the onscreen instructions to complete the
update.
