How to save inflight videos.

Postby Saitek » Sat Feb 17, 2007 1:53 pm

My FS has gone bust. It conflicted with CFSIII and when I tried to move things both ended up not working. They keep on crashing my computer. I need to do a total and complete reinstall of both sims.

My question is: I have saved some nice landings in FS9 and I don't wish to see them disappear when I uninstall. How can I find them so I can save them and copy them back so that they work when I reinstall my sim?

Thanks. :)

The files you speak about should be in the Documents folder, under the "Flight Simulator Files" subfolder.

Simply make a backup copy of the files you saved and when you'll reinstall FS put them there again.

oh weird, ok. I thought it would be somewhere in that hidden bit of FS or in the main folder. Funny, I never expected it to be in there.

Thanks a lot. :)
