Prepar3D freeware files?

Are there any sites that carry addon files for Prepar3D? Or are all the FSX files compatible, and no need for Prepar3D-specific files?

Update: I just read the following from the Lockheed site:
While most add-ons developed for FSX and ESP will install and run without issue, there are certain install packages which are hard-coded to only install into a FSX installation folder dictated by a FSX installation registry key on your computer. There are several tools available online (one by TweakFS titled ‘FSX Registry Utility’) that will allow you to add a FSX registry key to your computer pointing to a location of your choice. You can add a FSX registry key pointed to your Prepar3D installation folder using one of these tools so that the FSX-specific installers will now be able to be installed into your Prepar3D installation folder.

What types of packages would be "hard-coded"? Just for example?

and this looks helpful as well (found link on AVSIM):
