FS2002 Reinstall

Postby BAW19 » Tue Feb 25, 2003 6:22 am

Can anyone tell me what the setup does when I reinstall? Will I lose all my add-ons (Aircraft, scenery, AI aircraft etc) or will it just reinstall around those files?
Also I need to repair some corrupt files, will it overwrite them or leave them alone coz they're already there and up to date?
Cheers
Ian

Speedbird, the best way to re-install is to delete the whole of FS2k2. What I did was backup various directories e.g. aircraft, gauges, sound, effects etc. Then deleted the system and re-installed from scratch, then copied the stuff back into the new directories.
Hey presto.
Time consuming but it avoids any wee problems.

Good luck
Ozzy

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Cheers Oz, I'll give it a go tonight.
