How-To: Prepar3d + Fsinn + Fscopilot

How2-P3D : FSInn + FSCopilot
Dear AVSIM-Community and P3D-users,
In this tutorial I'll explain how to fool FSInn+FSCopilot so you can use these great tools within Prepar3D. As a VATSIM flyer I prefered these great tools of the FSFDT suite but didn't find a suitable way to get them work within P3D, yet. So I decided to explore this problem and how to fix it. Here's the solution :-)
FSDT FSCopilot + FSInn in Prepar3D
I have to assume that certain facts of installation and configuration are known. However, I have uploaded the necessary installation files for you.
Download installation files FSFDT-Suite:
Downloadlink FS Copilot -->SetupFSCopilot17B2_4.exe
Downloadlink FS Inn -->SetupFSInn13B2_3.exe
Known Issue / Problem:
When starting Prepar3D you will get following error message. FSCopilot+FSInn cannot be executed and are inactive.

Reason:
FSCopilot/FSInn seems to check a special version string of the executablePrepar3D.exe. It is expecting a value something like10.x.xxxxx.0, but instead receives the value1.3.3708.0. As a result it shows the error message and the tool is not working. Many users tried to modify various version strings within the Windows Registry Editor under FSFDT-key, but with no sucess.
Workaround:
We have to fool FSFDT Suite, and present the necessary version string. Some of you know this steps, as we did the same when fooling TrackIR+EZdok, where we had to modify the language.dll. On this step the executable"Prepar3D.exe"is involved.
How-to:

·  First we need a tool to edit our executable. A known and easy to use tool isRessource Hackerwhich you can download for freeHERE.

·  PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL PREPAR3D.EXE BEFORE MODIFYING IT !

·  Now we start Ressource Hacker and click on menu [FILE]-->[OPEN] and choose the file"Prepar3D.exe"which is located in our main Prepar3D installation directory.

·  Click and open the sectorVersion Info-->1-->1033

·  We have to focus on this line here -->PRODUCTVERSION 1,3,3708,0as showed on my screenshot below...

Now we replace the string1,3,3708,0with10,0,61637,0.
[*] We click on the buttonCOMPILE SCRIPT
[*] and last but not least we save this modification by clicking on menu [FILE]-->[SAVE].
In my case the result looks like this:

That's it! Now start your Prepar3D and be surprised ;) FSInn and FSCopilot should work 100%.
I would really appreciate your feedback to ensure that this workaround also works on different installations.
Good luck,have fun and clear skies,
Pegasus.
