That's something that I'd like to know too. Maybe this is what Ryan was talking about when he stated that there'll be some recomendations at documentation. Gabriel

Run all the uninstallers for all your addons, manually delete any files/folders still remaining, run a good registry cleaner. I prefer cclean, it's free, very safe & very effective. Then reboot & you're ready for the installations.my edit button isn't working...meant to say for all your addons AND FSX... I believe what Ryan mentioned was a tweaking guide, helping to find the optimum settings & such. It may start with a clean install, I dunno...

I don't understand why clean install, do you do that for every single addon? Ljubomir Prodanovic
Sometimes people are just ready for a clean slate. It's been a while for me so I probably will too. I'm also doing away with a few addons, so it makes sense.

http://support.preci...nstall-fsx.aspx I don't recommended doing this unless you're having problems though... there is no requirement to have a clean installed FSX for the plane.
Thanx, Tabs. That and the link should answer most anyone's concerns.

Like many others, I install FSX on a separate harddisk. Not the one Windows is installed on. All addon install files e.g. are on a External Backup Harddisk. So if I want to install a clean FSX, I simply can format my FSX Harddisk :)

If you don't uninstall first and just reformat the FSX drive you risk getting a lot of installer conflicts and issues due to all the old registry entries/Installshield entries on your windows installed drive. Always uninstall first.
