Migrating to a new flight simulator has never been so easy!
From the early days of flight simulation, each new simulator has meant the need to replace almost all addons with new ones, often at a high cost, and in many cases no upgrades have been available at all.
FSX to Prepar3D Migration Tool is a revolutionary tool that allows you to install Flight Simulator X (FSX) addons to Prepar3D. Since there are very few differences between the two simulators, almost everything that functioned properly in FSX will function so in Prepar3D.
No manual editing is necessary, nor it is necessary to have FSX present on the computer. Just install the tool, follow its manual and install addons like you would install them to FSX. Everything from freeware Pipers to the most complex addons will appear in Prepar3D.
With Migration Tool, you will be able to enjoy the best of both worlds – excellent FSX addons in new and evolving Prepar3D flight simulator.
How does it work?
Migration Tool creates a virtual FSX installation, meaning that it will turn an empty folder of your choice into looking like FSX root folder, with all necessary configuration files present. Everything installed there - no matter if by hand or using installers - will appear in Prepar3D.
Virtual FSX installation has numerous work-arounds helping installers and utilities find necessary files. For example: using Migration Tool, owners of EZdok Camera Addon can even get their TrackIR running with Prepar3D.
To avoid conflicts with FSX, should you have it installed, there is a simple user interface to enable and disable virtual FSX with a single click. While it is disabled, FSX addon installers will place files into real FSX. While enabled, FSX addon installers will place files into Prepar3D.
Migration Tool has been tested with many popular sceneries, aircraft and utilities. As long as they don’t rely on dirty hacks and follow practices suggested by Microsoft and Lockheed Martin instead, they will work properly in Prepar3D.

I think it has the simplest interface of all times ON/OFF.
I not longer use any 32bit simulators.
Migration Tool is not designed for the new 64bit version which is P3Dv4.1, and will destroy your installation if you try to use it with the latest version or if you try migrating 32bit addons to the 64bit environment of P3Dv4.
Migration tool was designed to migrate 32bit addons from FSX to a 32bit version P3D.
Do NOT install any addons into P3Dv4.1 with Migration tool, or any other way, unless the addon developer actually says that it was designed for P3Dv4 or P3Dv4.1.
Sometimes it will work, but most of the time it will break your installation of P3Dv4.
This has been my experience and I believe is a good rule of thumb.
Klare Empfehlung!
Die Demo-Version ist das zu installierende Produkt.
First download and install the demo version and check functionality!
The demo version is the product installation file; there is no other download!
