Thinking of Re-Installing FS9

Postby congo » Fri Oct 28, 2005 7:39 am

Thinking of Re-Installing FS9, my installation has gone through 4 computers and is close to 40gb now with everything in there.

I know it's going to be a lot of work re-installing it but I don't use a fraction of it, and I'd like a slimmer sim.

It would have to run a bit nicer if redone.......What do you think?

No advise to add, but good luck with it.

Why not? Just remember to defrag your HD before re-installing for a bit more speed ;)

Always good to rid the cobwebs. It always hurts I think at first, but once it is scaped clean the crisp new feeling is nice. ;D

I cleaned mine out not too long ago.

From now on, I have put a strict limit as to the number and type of addons being installed into FS. Before the clean up, my FS was filled with so much crap that even loading a flight in FS sometimes caused a crash to the desktop. Even loading a new plane into the flight caused a system freeze.
