Well, I just tried running the update from inside Prepar3d V2 and that didn't fix anything. Terminal E is still flickering like mad. Am I missing something?
There might be a permissions problem modifying the objects ( the upgrade works in a way that it patches the objects in real time, if you run under P3D ), if your P3D installation resides under the default C:\Program Files (x86)\ path.
In more recent sceneries like JFK 2, CYVR or KIAH, we used the C:\ProgramData\Virtuali path to store objects , so we can patch them on the fly without permission issues, but doing this for Zurich would require modifying the whole files structure, changing the installer, and ask to all users to redownload the whole installer, just to change ONE bye in two objects...
If you install P3D into a folder you created yourself, such as C:\Prepar3D V2, you won't have such issues, that's why it's usually suggested to install the sim into a folder OUTSIDE the C:\Program Files (x86) which your user account can't write.
You can fix this in several ways:
- Change Properties for the P3D\fsdreamteam\Couatl\Couatl.exe in the "Compatibility" page, to "Run as Administrator".
OR
- Change the permissions for the main P3D folder and subfolders, to give write permission to your user account. You do this by right-click on the P3D root folder, select "Security", then allow the account with your own user name to have Write or Full Controll access to that folder.
OR
- Turn down or off the UAC settings.
