Dual Install

[starlifter5]

OK I give up. I've tried searching for this for a half hour. Wasn't there a thread at one time that described how to perform a dual install of CFS2? I'm referring to the scenerio of having two separate installs for European and Pacific theaters. Or perhaps I'm imagining things.

Do an install,,,rename desktop shortcut to CFS2_PTO or .
Do a second install and when the sim asks where it's to go,,,list a different program directory.
Rename shortcut to CFS2_ETO or .

I wrote this several years ago in the FAQ for the Fox Four campaigns:

DUPLICATE INSTALL of CFS2 (or any other MS sim)

To do this, simply rename the existing CFS2 root directory folder to any other name.
Then insert the CD & install in the usual way.
You will now have two separate versions of CFS2 which will run independently.

Thanks guys. That sounds easy enough. I performed searches for words like "dual" and "double", but I forgot about "duplicate", Sorry to bother you guys with easy stuff. I'm building a "sim only" desktop out of old parts and I couldn't remember how that installation was done. Thanks again.

I have 3 different installs.

one for each of my favorite theaters of operation. WWI, Korea, and also a test/mission building setup.

I've had as many as 6. It comes down to how much Hard drive space you want to use.

Oh I also have a copy of FS2002 pro. though mostly used for aircraft development now.
