Proper way to re/uninstall the NGX?

Featured Replies

Hey im about to reinstall the NGX (uninstall and then install it again). Ive uninstalled it using the remove option in the PMDG installer. I still however got an PMDG folder inside of my FSX folder. I have used CCleaner but nothing really happed. Should i manually delete this PMDG folder before using the installer to install the NGX again?

 

The PMDG folder is containing a *Dem* folder(lots of Dem files), *icons* folder(PMDG_Icon.ico), *Livery Manager* folder(.exe inside), *NAVDATA* folder(lots of .txt files), *PMDG 737 NGX* folder(.ini files) and finally a *SIDSTARS* folder with lots of .txt files.

 

What should i do with this folder? :P

Just leave it as it is, the NGX will overwrite anything it needs to.

the ini files are your cockpit settings and Navdata is your navigation sources and flightplans.

So i can install the NGX again without touching that last PMDG folder?

Yes, it's very rare for a program to delete all folders (relating to that software) when you uninstall it, but it is uninstalled and you can reinstall it like that just fine.

I have one question, now when i launch the NGX in the FSX menu nothing pops up(when i need to accept the software etc), does this happen because i already did it on the last installation and FSX 'remembers' ???

 

Will this work properly??

It should be already activated for you.

No need to activate again unless you get a popup.
