Saved Flights Folder Lost

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

Recently, my HDD decided to break on me, and that's where I have my ~\Documents\Flight Simulator X\ directory is located.  Now I want to add custom flights (like AOA tutorial flights or MJC ones), I don't know where to add it to.

 

My FSX is installed on an independent SSD, now I would like a way to redirect FSX to look in the OS's drive (also another separate SSD), and look in C:\Users\[me]\Documents\Flight Simulator X\.  Although there is a "Flight Simulator X" directory in C:\, but when I put custom flight files in there, FSX doesn't seemed to be able to find it.

 

I've had a search of this around, but all the topics it returned didn't solve the problem.  So any help here would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Brendan

When you are looking for a flightplan, they go into the MyDocuments\Flight Simulator X Files directory.  But the flightplans have to be in an appropriate format.  I think most flightplans need an extension of .pln.  If they are not in the dot pln format, they won't be seen.

 

Best regards,

Jim

I understand.  My problem is that the Documents/Flight Simulator X directory used to be in the HDD that failed.  Now one day, that HDD just didn't work, so no data can be accessed from it.  I would like to know, how can I force FSX to redirect all the "Documents/Flight Simulator X" files to a new directory?

Sorry Brendan.  Have no idea.
