Version Number Query`

Post by gy1bryan »

Have installed V5.2 Hotfix 1, and everything seems ok. However .....

In Windows/Control Panel/Programs the version shown is 5.2.22.27615 for Academic, Academic Client, Content & Scenery

But in the Flight Sim under Help/About LM Prepar3d the version is shown as 5.2.18.27565

So, does anyone know which version I am running?

Thanks in advance

I dont understand why a program uses "sophisticated" Version Numbers but showing the "old" one after the update.

My Problem is, as mentioned in another thread, that the add-on Active Sky (official and actual version) doenst work becaus there is a connector error saying that I use the wrong version.

Acer,

Have you asked HiFi about this one?

First: Thanks to all of you for your hints.

Yes, I just checked the Version via the Setup/Apps and it says its HF1, so far so good.

Yes two, I already asked HifI about this, the answer just came in:

"P3D installation error.
Time for a clean install of 5.2 HF1 since the update install did not work."

Well, I sit on the fence right now.....
