Switching from FSX to P3D

[Snidefarthing]

I know this has probably been asked a million times but will my FSX version 1.19 work in P3D or do I have to buy a separate installer?

Thanks.

None of our products require a repurchase when going from FSX to P3D, and the installer is the same. Of course, be sure you use the *current* version of the installer, not an older version you might have downloaded in the past, since it might not support all the latest P3D versions.

Thank you Umberto, but if I use the current version that might mess up my FSX.
I guess I have no choice?

The current version surely won't "mess" your FSX. But that's irrelevant, since installing into P3D it's an entirely separate install.

You obviously have a choice, you can choose between:

1) installing the current version under P3D and leaving FSX with the version you already have there

2) installing the current version under P3D AND FSX. Which means, running the installer twice, once for each sim.

The only CORRECT choice is of course #2, not because #1 will cause "problems", but only because there's no reason why you would want to continue to use an outdated version in FSX.
