Hmm. So in an effort to be a little more dilligent before purchasing something, I've been over in the 1011 section reading about any sort of issues that thing has and I came across a comment from a dude about a similar issue:


---------------------------------------------------
Hello

I 've had the missing landing gear / panel issue. In my case, it was due to simconnect : need to install it again from :

\redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK\retail\lib\SimConnect.msi

from within Prepar3D root folder.

Tips found on Majestic software forum. (Which Q400 had the same issue.)

Just to share.

This is a far more promising and sensible problem and solution and I would urge anyone having this issue to try this first, especially if you don't want to buy the migration tool (and to be honest, you shouldn't have to considering this is a P3D addon). I have better things to do than unintentionally uninstalling something just to see if a new install process works out this issue so I'll save my attempt at it until the next time I need to do a fresh P3D install for whatever reason. So, certainly, give this a try folks and see if this works.
