Flight Sim Install PMDG and Prepa3d V4.3

Post by Redwine »

Any ideas on how to get a pc loaded up and ready to go with a flight sim game, specifically PMDG and Prepa3d V4.3.
I am completely software and file folder illiterate and I know downloading these and trying to install them and optimizing the settings would put me in the hospital.

Was thinking of bringing it in to best buy or some sort of computer nerd store and having them do it- or paying some kid who lives for this stuff come over to the house for two three hours and get this done.

Anyone know if there are services like this out there? If not, there should be. I'm sure they could make a ton of money on installing software and programs for complete dummies like me.

Thanks

I've done a few installs, depending on how complex you want to set it it can go from 45min to 12 hours.

If you're in anywhere between YYC and YVR I might be able to help.

Don't bring it to best buy. Waste of money and time.

PM me for more details.

I guess I should have said I'm located in S Ontario.

Thanks for the offer though.

Are you setting up the 737ngx or the 777?

Are you trying to use in for fun or as a IPT/trainer for a ride ?
