Putting FS9 downloads on an external HD

Recommended Posts

Guest F15Driver

I've noticed that the number of my FS9 downloads is over 15GB. I download to a folder (FSDownlaods)in my documents. Is there any problem with copying that folder over to an external HD and deleting the FSDownloads on my desktop HD? Specifically, once the executable has been run and the files are integrated within FS9 itself, there isn't any chance of FS9 looking for a file within FSDownloads? Just want to make sure.ThanksF15Driver
