Have just purchased X Plane 10..

Only have enough disk space on a second hard drive (D:) So want to install it there..

Do I just change the source drive from C: to D: or should I create another folder on D: to accomodate it?

Thanks

John

X-Plane is very "drive friendly"...

 

When installing, simply point the sim to install on the D: drive by clicking on the "Change Destination" button.

 

The "Install Name" field represents the name of the directory the installer will create and install X-Plane into.

 

If you want to install to D:\X-Plane, do the following:

-Click on "Change Destination" and select the root of the D: drive.

-Change the "Install Name" to show "X-Plane"... and continue!

 

If you want to install to D:\Games\X-Plane, do the following:

-Create the D:\Games directory, if it doesn't already exist.

-Click on "Change Destination" and browse to the D:\Games directory.

-Change the "Install Name" to show "X-Plane"... and continue!

 

How you do it is entirely up to you. X-Plane will not perform any differently if it is in its own folder off the root of the disc, or if it's nestled into a subdirectory somewhere... For sheer organizational efficiency, it's best to usually keep it only one layer down, if at all.

 

I have one drive for dedicated use with my games, and I keep all my sims on one drive, right in the root... D:\FSX, D:\X-Plane, etc. etc. Purely personal preference.

 

(Drive Space Note: Remember that you don't need to install the entire globe of scenery - installing only the areas you fly in can save you space)

Thats easy. Unzip it and put the folder that contains files and some subfolders into the Aircraft/Heavy Metal folder in your X-Plane 10 directory.

Thank you.
