I have the F-4E installed in FSX-SE (standalone) but now that I have a copy of P3Dv4 I decided to try and install it on that platform. I don't have any previous version of P3D. My latest installer is version A1.170424 for FSX and P3D, which doesn't have a P3Dv4 option of course. I opened MVAMS to see if that would download the latest version. I selected the F-4E and it detected updates were available. It offered me a choice of FSX+FSX-SE, FSX-SE or P3Dv4. I chose P3Dv4 and it downloaded and installed some files (panel and texture folders), but not the complete version. I guess I need a full installer for the P3Dv4 base version so I've contacted the reseller I bought the F-4E from (PC Aviator).

On reopening MVAMS to update the F-4E in FSX-SE it bypasses the platform selection menu and restarts the previous download. Then it reports an error saying there was a problem opening the downloaded update. How can I reset MVAMS so it will allow me to select the FSX-SE version of the F-4E?

Hi Kevin, what versions are you running? (MV installer and P3D)

Hi Oisin,

For the F-4E, the latest installer I have is for version A1.170424. That is currently installed and working in FSX-SE (with TacPack). I also have P3Dv4 installed and I was trying to install the F-4E in that. I was trying to see if MVAMS would download and update for it. It recognises my P3Dv4 installation and offered it as an option. I didn't think it would do any harm to see what that would do, but it seems I was wrong.

This evening I updated to P3Dv4.1, not that that affects this issue, but just so that you have the full picture.

Meant do you have the TP addition and/or the ADV?

With TacPack, not ADV.
