September 23, 201312 yr Hello everyone, I've really been thinking of moving my FSX installation out of the Programfiles (X86) folder due to the certain restrictions I heard windows put onto that directory, and into my E drive folder, which s dedicated ssd. What is the safest way of moving the installation without causing a storm of issues. I know I can uninstall it, but I simply have too much to reconfigure. (effects, textures, cfgs etc.) Is it safe to just cut the FSX folder and paste it into the (E:) drive? Then reconfigure anything that needs the directory such as Opus,REX,Fsuipc and so on?

If FSX refuses to activate, try this: - Copy your whole FSX folder to someplace safe; also back up your fsx.cfg etc... - Uninstall FSX - Reinstall FSX to the new location - Patch it, if necessary - Activate it - Copy your backed up folder over the new one, overwriting everything 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days
