Any downside to this approach?DomNope: They are two separate applications, Dom, but you will need space..... there was an "FSX size?" survey done here a few months ago. Mine comes in at 42.6 gig, plus the many addons like REX, ASA, FSBuild, Radar Contact, UTX, GEX - to mention only six - all of which take up lots of additional space on that or some other drive. :( i7 [email protected] | 32GB RAM | EVGA RTX 3080Ti | Maximus Hero VII | 512GB 860 Pro | 512GB 850 Pro | 256GB 840 Pro | 2TB 860 QVO | 1TB 870 EVO | Seagate 3TB Cloud | EVGA 1000 GQ | Win10 Pro | EK Custom water cooling.
August 16, 200916 yr Space is a good one. I have FSX installed plus REX2, and it's about 23,7GB. I still need to fill it up with scenery and aircraft...
