With this version of the 767, will you be using the add-on xml method to allow for installation of the aircraft in the P3dV>x> addon folder or will it still install in simobjects/aircraft/ like the 757 does?
Thanks
Kevin

Using the addon.xml does 2 things mainly.
1. Keeps your main sim folder clean. Using the xml allows you to install the product outside the main folder, keeping the main sim folder uncluttered and clean.
2. Allows for easier sim upgrades. When new updates come out for the sim, a lot of us usually do a full install of the sim. This means anything in the main sim folder will usually go with it. If its installed with xml, you can just leave the product untouched, and when you load the new install, it will be there ready to go, from the first load.

I always do a full install of any P3D updates too. I unistall P3D, reboot my computer, install the new P3D version, reboot my computer.
Because the Captain Sim aircraft are not uninstalled by the P3D uninstall, both P3D, and the Captain Sim aircraft always work fine after it's done.
I've never had any issues with P3D because of doing it that way.

I am replying in this thread as you are asking not to open new ones
So is it possible to install any CS P3D v5 aircraft outside the main sim main folder (ie Prepar3dv5 addon) or not?
I was able to move them manually one by one using the add-on.xml method. They are working fine. However as it seems the CaptainSim folder cannot be moved. At least I had no luck. Is there any way to move it outside the sim to the add-on folder? If I move it out I have error code 3050 (Navaids.db is not found).
And to answer the earlier question the add-on.xml method allows to add/remove addons easily when the user wants to use them / do not want to use them, so the sim does not need to load all the addons always. And in my opinion it is a more modern and cleaner method of adding features to the core simulator.
Thanks & Regards
