July 15, 201114 yr Hi, I've just uninstalled FSX and am getting ready to reinstall it. I left RC installed, when I reinstall FSX I'm going to install it in a seperate directory on my hard drive (not Program Files (x86)). Will I be able to point it to the new directory either automatically or manually, or will I have to reinstall it? Ed Kammerman
July 15, 201114 yr Your .pln,.wxr, and .flt files will still be in the same documents sub folder unless you are changing operating systems. When you rebuild the scenery database just enter the new FSX path. I keep my fs path in a text file (with a link on my desktop) so I can copy it and paste it with ctrl-v into the RC path dialog when requested. It saves a lot of typing. Mine is:h:\program files\microsoft games\flight simulator 9 as entered in the text file.You might want to also check your registry path for FS. Run this free utility by right clicking on it and choose run as administrator:http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=libraryFSX/FS9 Registry Repair Tool (36KB)as sometimes the registry path is not correctly changed for some reason after reinstalling FSX. FSUIPC prefers to look at the registry entry first to find your FSX path for install. You'll need to reinstall it after your FSX reinstall and also your makerwys.exe. See the pinned topic at the forum head.If you have reformatted your HD as in upgrading your operating system you will need a new key. If your e-mail address and user name is the same as you initial install just use the automatic registration system. Be sure jdtllc.com is allowed through your ISP and pc spam filters.
