P3DV2 "Legacy Mode"?

I am trying to install EZDOK to use with P3DV2, and was told by Estonia, who makes the Migration Tool, that I need to use the "Legacy Mode" for P3DV2.

Problem is, the Migration Tool menu prompts me to tell it where the "Legacy Mode" .exe file is...and I do NOT see it; only the normal .exe file.

Any advice here? Thanks. NC
 
I just gave that a test run Chief. In normal mode there's no Legacy option. If you have Migrator Tool and enable virtual FSX the Legacy option shows up in the start menu.

Thanks, will try it. NC
 
It didn't work. But am confused as normal.

Once I initiate the "Virtual FSX", do I install EZDOK with P3DV2 running? I didn't. I waited until I installed EZDOK, then turned OFF the Virtual FSX, and started P3DV2.

But got an error. EZDOK did not install in P3DV2. Grrrrrr..... NC

Legacy Mode was required to run EZCA in Prepar3D v1.4. It's not required to keep EMT running in order to run EZCA in Prepar3D v2. You should be running the latest EMT update. It will give you the options to sync Virtual FSX for FSX, Prepar3D v1 or v2.

1) EZCA installs to Program Files (x86) automatically without the use of EMT. The final updated version of EZCA 1.17 contains some of the code that EZCA 1.17 beta used for Prepar3D v1. You don't use the beta version of EZCA for Prepar3D v2. Just use the 1.17 final updated version.

2) Once EZCA is installed, you must have the EZCA entry listed in the exe.xml file. EMT, when first installed, created the exe.xml file. You just have to manually add EZCA as noted in other posts.

3) You now run EMT and "Enable Virtual FSX", but don't start Prepar3D v2 yet. Don't be concered with "legacy mode".

4) Go to EZCA and start EZCA config.exe. Tick the "FSX" button and the "201 camera" file entry will be added to all airplanes and rotorcraft aircraft.cfg files you have installed. You close EZCA config.exe when "success" has finished.

5) You can now disable EMT "Virtual FSX" and close EMT.

6) When Prepar3D v2 has opened, you can go to Addons in the Options header and start EZCA from the pulldown menu or pause the sim and start EZCA manually.

IF successful, the only time you need to run EMT along with EZCA config.exe is when you've added new aircraft (see #4).

That's all of 5 cents I've got to give.

Thanks. Now my head is really spinning...... I will have to get a good night's sleep, and then give this a go in the morning, after a strong cup of coffee..... NC

That worked! Thanks!

I have been missing a lot, not having EZDOK installed, and knowing how to use it. Such an awesome addon!

Thank you all for your advice. I am a happy Chief, once again! NC
