Reloading scenery libraries after P3Dv4 reinstall

Post by mcdonar »

After deleting the three P3Dv4 directories from:
- %PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4
- %LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4
- %APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4
in order to get P3Dv4 running again, I need to link to all of the existing sceneries that are installed.
How can I do this automatically or do I have to find all the scenery libs individually?
Regards, Richard

Prepar3D will re-generate all default data after clearing these directories. You may need to reinstall the add-on sceneries but this depends on how the add-on is set up. If one of these add-ons caused an issue that prompted the reinstall/deletion of these directories then I recommend adding them individually to diagnose which one caused the issue and then report that to the add-on developer.
