I Have a new machine coming tomorrow and will of course set FSX up on it. On my present Win 7 64 bit system I have FSX in D:/Fsx. Shall I set the new system up with that arrangement or let it install in the default directory on C:

Suggestions?

I think that FSX is best served, in it's own directory, on the same drive as your OS. But if your present arrangement works for you, why change?

 

Large sceneries, you can move to another drive, except for ORBX. If I'm not mistaken, there has been a post about this only a week or two ago.

You can install to another drive, in fact it is beneficial.

 

If your C drive is busy with OS stuff then you FSX drive is still free to do FSX stuff.

 

I installed a small 128gb SSD to hold FSX and scenery and the loading time is extremely fast. But you need Sata 6gb to really get the benefit of it.

Don't install into the default directory, as that would be as a subfolder in Program Files, which has it's own file protections and write access protocols that can interfere with the game. It's own folder on whatever drive is fine, I think. The speed of the drive makes more difference than whether it's on the OS drive, I think.
