| Post subject: | Fresh Installation Into P3D V3 |
| Hi, Can I please check; when installing fresh from a CD version of FDC, should I install from the disk (not into programs folder) and then run the cumulative updater, then allow FDC to auto update and finally install the FDC43D executable? I plan to purchase PF3. Do PF3 and FDC have to reside on the same PC to work together? Sorry if these questions are answered elsewhere, I did search the forum. Thanks and regards Dave |

| That is correct..and don't forget to turn off your AV in process. I have both on same system in my setup, I know PF3 can be used over a networking using WideClient, not sure about FDC. I added FDC after installing PF3 so it was installed into C:\FS_Addons, both create their own folders so both programmes are kept separate. You can configure both programmes to use the same key for example.. "Declaring Missed Approach" i use "9" in FDC as it's the same in PF3. Hope that helps.. |

| Dave, Will the P3D replacement executable still allow me to run the program with FSX? I have both programs installed on the main FS computer and FDC on a client. EDIT: At a trial glance, it does. FDC, running on the client, has detected FSX. I'll try P3D shortly. Thanks Dave, still loving this program!!! JH |

| Hi, Okay so I tried to install FDC tonight on a client PC, i.e. not the PC where P3D is located. The installer starts okay, I point it to the C:\ drive (not Program Files) and it runs to 49% and then the following error appears: MediaName:DATA Component: FDC File group: FDC File: D\setup\data2.cab Error number 2147024873 I can see this has come up before in the forums but, I can't see that it has been answered fully. The PC has Win 10 64bit as the OS, has plenty of HDD space. Anyone got any ideas please? Thanks Dave |

Is this a CD version you have? Have you turned your AV off? |

| Hi Dave, Sorry, yes it is a CD. I did turn off the AV, MS Defender. Although you've prompted me to think that maybe I did not turn it off fully. I turned off 'Realtime' protection, perhaps that does not entirely turn it off?? I will check this before you spend any more time on it. Thanks Dave |

| Morning, Some progress to report! After much fiddling around I discovered that there was a 'smudge' on the CD Rom which was preventing the installation from proceeding. Once I cleaned the CD the program installed with out a hitch. Embarrassing, but I wanted to post this in case it helps others. But! Once installed the version was version 3.0. I then applied the cumulative updater, this seemed to work and the version became Version 3.14. I then checked for updates, the result was the version is up to date. I followed the instructions for installing the P3D 'conversion'. It seemed to be fine but, when trying to run Flightdeck_Companion.exe, it will not run, nothing at all appears to happen. FDC.EXE does run, but I'm unable to connect via WideFS. I have not investigated the network issue because I wanted to ask a question. I think I'm right in saying that the programme should launch using the Flightdeck_Companion.exe, not FDC.exe. Is there some way I can check to see if the P3D 'conversion' has actually applied successfully? Thanks very much. Regards Dave |
