Gentlemen;I have three hd's C, D, and F (for some reason my DVD is E... FSX is the only thing on F:, and I've run out of disk space. Can I start moving file (like scenery or aircraft) off the drive to another? If so how?

In FSX, scenery and aircraft can be anywhere. You just have to tell FSX where it is; I have scenery on several drives and many add-on aircraft on another drive.Aircraft: place aircraft folders anywhere and reference thus in fsx.cfg:[Main].SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\MiscSimObjectPaths.6=G:\AddonAircraftSimObjectPaths.7=G:\AIAircraft.Scenery: may be deleted individually in the scenery library, files physically moved, then add area back to scenery library at the new location.ORif you trust your accuracy and skill, simply MOVE the files, then manually edit scenery.cfg with the new location; this will keep your scenery priorities the same.this illustrates moving a scenery folder from inside the FSX\Addon Scenery folder to a different drive. I did this once when I moved FSX to another drive and just edited the scenery.cfg to match the new locations.original entry:[Area.186]Title=addon_KSAN15Local=Addon Scenery\KSAN15Active=FALSERequired=FALSELayer=181edited entry[Area.186]Title=addon_KSAN15Local=L:\KSAN15Active=FALSERequired=FALSELayer=181Naturally, make a back up copy of scenery.cfg and do the operation in small steps so you can check that everything is working properly.Loyd

Thank you so much :)

Easier yet, get SCM2004 from the Avsim File Library and use that, it'll simplify the process. You will have to place a copy of fs9.exe in the same folder as your real scenery.cfg( the one in the fsx folder is not the real one).I have used it for years and it works great.

Is there any performance hit on scenery if it is on a seperate drive? For example FSX is on drive C and some photo scenery is on drive D.
