There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Of course, after I do the patch installation, I go back this morning and find a post that says basically. . ."Oh, by the way, it would be a good idea to delete the files/content of these 4 folders to ensure a good install". Maybe that should have been mentioned as part of the patch process? lol. . .
Also. . .anyone know where to find these? I got the first one. . .but the others, I don't find anything close on my system. . .and yes I have hidden files showing.
%PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2. . . .saved backup/deleted content.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2. . . can't find
%APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2. . . . . . . can't find
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Prepar3D v2 Files. . . . can't find
DOH!! Thanks. . .I never use the "Windows Start" option. . .never thought about that. Thanks!Ed , when I copied and pasted each line into the Windows Start (then into the search box) it took me right to the folder . I am running Windows 7 64 bit . The second line was the Shaders Folder , the 3rd line was the folder containing the dll.xml , exe.dll , and Prepar3D.cfg and the 4th line was where all your Saved Flights are . fxml and WX files . Sorry for the very non-tech explanation . Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can make an easier explanation .
Hope this gets you to where you want to be . I just did the update without the above deletions you gave which LM stated you can do if you are not experiencing any issues which so far I'm not . (Other than the FSDT Hawaiian Airports I have loaded and this I experienced in FSX and v1.4 . From what I've read it is a Add On Manager issue that FSDT uses and not P3D) . I'm still contemplating downloading the 10Gig+ Full Installer and starting from scratch . It just means a heck of a lot of reinstalling but I like the idea of a fresh install and gradually piece AC and scenery into v2.1 . I still have v1.4 on the HHD so it shouldn't be too bad of a task , just time consuming .
With all the problems reported with this update, I am glad I didn't rush to download and install it.
Is there a text file with the download that tells exactly what to do, prior to installing this??
If not, can someone post a link to a forum thread that does give instructions on this?
thanks, NC
Here ya go.

This explains the process if you already have 2.0 and are applying the patch. Hope this helps.![]()
After down-loading the patch, I've decided to stick with 1.4 for the time being. Version 2/2.1 is starting to look more and more like FSX.
Can you explain that a bit more please? Being curious as a polar bear chilling in Texas.
