March 11, 201115 yr Due to reinstalling winxp I am reinstalling FSX.I saved my fsx.cfg.Do I just use it for reference to make changes(Tweaks) in the new one or do I copy it and overwrite the new one?Also,I think the last time I reinstalled I just copied my backup scenery file with FSG mesh,my add on scenery file and my aircraft file over to new install and it worked.These are all files I installed manually in FSX so I don't think they have anything to do with the win registry.Am I correct on this?Thanks,Ron Bring back Chief Illiniwek!University of Illinois.
March 11, 201115 yr Correctomundo, Ron. You can copy the new one(s) to a safe spot for future reference, and then just copy all of the old cfg files right over the new ones, and don't forget the LOGBOOK.BIN. 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.
