Well, some I got some good news and some not so good news...
Good news - I got it working in Prepar3D.
Not so good news - Not really sure how I did it, ha! ;D
Let's see, I did use the comment out line as those done before. But I messed with the Registry trying to trick the paths as to whether I was installing to FSX or P3D.
I think I:
1. Uninstalled everything (777 that is) on both FSX and P3D.
2. Installed 777 in FSX to make sure everything was working correctly. It was.
3. Installed version 0.800 on P3D using the Migrator tool. My plan was originally to compare 0.800 to 1.2 files, filenames and sizes to see if f I could find any differences.
4. I then went to the registry and searched on 'captainsim' to what was in there. I found a section for the 777 showing the paths for uninstalling and where it was installed. That was my FSX path.
5. I changed the path(s) to where my P3D is installed and then installed 777 v 1.2 once again.
6. It came up as a "repair" this time and continued with the repair but to P3D.
7. Went back to the registry and changed all paths back to the FSX paths.
8. Rebooted the PC just to be sure.
9. And now it seems to be working.
I think it's working as I noticed there was a difference in the opacity of the engines when running. You can see through them alot more in v1.2. The landing gear is there and so all all the gauges and surface controls.
Note the version in ACE showing 1.2.0.0 so I think it's correct but I'm sure experts can verify.
Sure seems to be real heavy in FPS in the VC. Like I loose 30%. May be why I was not really using this anymore. I was planning to just hide the VC and use my cockpit hardware but it appears my GoFlight EFIS and MCPpro will not match up to it. Funny, some of my Saitek stuff does, though.
Anywho, please don't take the above as gospel. I was just messing around and got lucky I think. Plus I didn't about install and un-installing several times as I have not really customized anything in there.
That also reminds me several posts here talk about changing the [AUTOPILOT] section with some new numbers. I checked my cfg and those numbers were already there? Oh well... all in good fun!
