Relocating FSX

Postby Bubblehead » Mon Oct 19, 2009 10:08 am

My primary HD which has the OS and the FSX is running out of space. I do have two other HDs however with a lot more space. What would be the best way for me to transfer the program. Can I load the FSX now while it's still in the primary HD? or do I have to uninstall it first before re-loading it to the other HD?

You can move it, but there are some stuff to modify in the registry. It was already discussed in the past and I explained what to do in details, try to find that topic with the Search :)
(Sorry, I don't remember all the details now)

I did this a while ago. I'll go find the thread. To my knowledge, I didn't need to change anything in the registry, yet anyway. Nothing has requried me to and everything works.

[edit]Here it is:

Any 3rd party FS desgin tools will need to be updated with correct paths as will your sceneries if they're not in the main FSX/Addon Scenery/Scenery ot Texture folders.
