To do a full uninstall you not only uninstall the program itself. You then have to go into the disk and find your Flight Simulator X folder and delete that.
Sometimes you only need to do the basic uninstall and you can start up again with your add-on aircraft in place.
If you copy and save the Add-on scenery folder from within the FSX folder, then after a reinstall you can copy it back, overwrite and then all you have to do is use the Scenery Library within the game to get it all working again.
Ditto if you have put new mesh into the Scenery folder of FSX, you can copy the folder, then copy it back after reinstallation.
If the cfg file is not the problem save it, change its name, then copy the content back after FSX rebuilds a new one.
It asks whether you want to save saved flights. If you liked them, do so. I usually say no, because I tend to accumaulate too many I don't use, but am too lazy to remove.
The endless reinstallations of FSX have made us cunning.
But make sure you don't copy and then replace a folder that was the cause of the problem - like if you have a sound problem. Otherwise you will have to start all over.
