June 23, 201114 yr Hi All;My machine is running Windows Home Premium 64bit and currently have FSX saved to C:\Program Files (x86)\ Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Also installed there is FS2004 and CFS3. I know that some addons scenery aircraft etc will not run when saved to the program file so how do I go about creating a new file to save them to? Do I go to Compurter; Right click on C:\ then create a new file or is that the wrong or is there a different way to do it? I would appreciate any advice.Thanks Gazza :(
June 23, 201114 yr Moderator The safest,simplest and least problematic way is to uninstall FSX from it's current location and reinstall it to a new location.There are other methods BUT if you don't do them correctly would result in having to ireinstall anyway so - uninstall and reinstall and be done with it.Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
June 23, 201114 yr Yeah, the add-ons have to actually be within the folder where FSX is installed. You can't just put them somewhere else.
June 23, 201114 yr Author Hi Guys,Thanks for replying. I realise I need to reinstall to a new folder and put add ins etc there, but in my original question, I needed to know how to create a new folder for it under C:\ drive.Thanks Gazza
