Greetings,I currently have RC 4.3 installed for FS9. I'd like to try it using FSX. Is there a way to get it running with both sims?P.S. Check out my RC laptop hanging on the wall. Makes simming at that much more fun :)Thanks,-Matt

reinstall, and choose the fsx only optionjd

Yes. You can RC with both versions of FS on your PC.You install RC into separate folders one for each flight sim. If you now have an installation in an RCV4 folder perform another one and when asked for the path use a name such as RCV4X. You may need to register again and you'll get the key for this placement (it might be the same - if the product code is the same as your first FS9 RCV4 installation you can just use the same key as before and just place it into your registration form without doing the e-mail process. Check your original reply from jdtllc in your e-mail folder. If you do not have it then just reregister but insure you are using your original e-mail address that you provided with your order for CD or download registration.)First a little trick I use to save typing the lengthy FS path repeatedly. Create on your desktop using notebook a text file called FSXpath.txt. You can easily get the path from your shortcut to FSX , highlight it in the shortcut properties, ctrl-c to copy it to the clipboard. In your open FSXpath.txt file just paste it in there. If fsx.exe is in that text backspace it out so just the path is in there excluding the last \. Now save the file. Anytime you need this path as in the RC scenery rebuild, which you will be required to use during installation, you can just open the FSXpath file fro your desktop, copy the text, and paste it into the RC dialog when needed. (alt-tab will switch between RC and you desktop or open notepad file if you need to do that.) (I use the same technique to store my FS9 path.) Here's the contents for my FS9 folder path text:h:\program files\microsoft games\flight simulator 9Taking the time to do this now will save time later many times over.Download from the FSUIPC link updates above the latest FSUIPC4.dll for FSX and the same makerwys.exe used in FS9. FSUIPC now has an automatic install. If it will not install automatically in your FSX folder eventually you can specify it. makerwys.exe goes into your FSX folder.Do the full install again but state it is for FSX and again use a different folder such as RCV4X. After entering the key Specify the paths to your FSX folder and your Flight Simulator X Files folder (in your Documents folder). It will progress to the scenery rebuild. Paste in the path to your FSX folder (you can use the method I described above). After the install completes close RC and go into your FSX folder, find makerwys.exe and make sure it is the current version by right clicking on it, selecting properties, and checking the version for what you downloaded (4.41 today) just in case the install overwrote it. Replace makerwys.exe again if not current. Do the same for FSUIPC.dll in your modules folder reinstalling FSUIPC if necessary (4.60 is current today). If you did have to replace makerwys.exe after the install then Open RC and rerun the scenery database build again.Open an FSX flightplan you created by browsing to your FSX plan folder. It should load OK.Set up a shortcut to rcv4.exe in your rcv4x folder but name the shortcut rcv4x so you will have two shortcuts to RCV4, one for each version of FS pointing to the correct RCV4 and RCV4X folders.This is from memory but I think I've covered it all.Use the RCv43 manual notes if you are networked and do not intend to run on the same pc as FS.If you are running VISTA or WIN 7 be sure you are logged in as an admin and have the run the installers set to run in admin mode. Do the same for the shortcuts you created to both RC startups.
