Which WideFS version for P3D 4?

[ricky74]

Hi, I'm getting a bit confused on which version of WideFS to use with FSUIPC5 for P3D4.

I own FSUIPC4+WideFS6 purchased from simmarket and use with FSX/FSX Steam.

I understand that I have to re-buy a new key for FSUPC5, but for WideFS....can I use widefs6 or need widefs7 and buy a new key also for it?

many thanks,

Riccardo

Hi,

FSUIPC4 and FSUIPC5 uses both the same WideFS 7. So if you already bought a key for WideFS7 that worked along with FSUIPC4 then you can use that Key as well for the FSUIPC5 installation (WideFS registration).

But you say you bought a Key for WideFS6, that is for FSUIPC3 (FS9 and earlier). Check which WideFS version you actually bought.

Thanks so much Thomas, I own WideFS7, not 6 I was wrong.

I have to buy a new key for fsuipc5, correct?

Hi,

yes you have to.

FSUIPC5 is a new product complete new developed while WideFS7 code could 'mostly' used converted to 64Bit and implemented into FSUIPC5, that's why Pete doesn't charge for it again for those they have already a Key and that's why the Version number didn't change, still WideFS7.
