Dear Friends

 

I bought a new PC and a XPlane10, so I wanto to install the XPlane in a SSD alone, the Drive has 240Gb there are enought room for the simulator, but I need help.

 

In hte FSX I can Install it un a SSD alone just to create a folder FSX and tell to the installer put the FSX in that file. but is it the same procedure for XPlane?

 

Because when I read in the box install inside the PC I thougt that I need to install it in the main Drive where I have de Windows 7, and this is my doubt, and if this XPlane is compatible with 64 Bit Windows 7?.

 

If somebody want to help me I really appreciate this.

 

Thanks a Lot

X-Plane is contained in one file, which can be moved pretty much anywhere you want to put it.

You can install XPlane anywhere you want, in fact, once installed, you can move it anywhere and Yes, XP is win7 64 bit compatible.

 

If I may suggest, download the latest installer from here and use it to install XPlane.

Once installed, then run the installer located within the XPlane folder to update to the latest version which by the time you install it, should be 10.25beta, that is If you want the latest beta, if so, then tick the "Check for new betas..." box

I'm in a similar situation, I want to move my entire XP10 folder with all the add ons inside from one drive to another in the same pc and I don't know if for instance my X-Aviation planes should be reinstalled, because I just changed my primary hard drive to a bigger one using Acronis for the whole operation and in the case of FSX all my Flight 1 products needed to be reinstalled.

From my experience, whatever you have installed in the folder will go with the X-Plane folder to the new location.  With FSX, it installs in the registry and many other places so you just can't "move" it.  X-Plane does not "entangle" itself in all parts of your computer... it just runs from it's own folder.

Thanks John, anyway I asked directly to XA just in case for their products.

Thanks John and CarlosF .

 

I have the last question, do I need to create a new folder called XPlane10 and then tell to the XPlane installer send the software there or when I will choice the SSD the XPlane create a new folder by default, so I wouldnt need to create a folder.

 

 

Thank a lot my friends

Just copy the X-Plane 10 folder from wherever you installed it to your new drive.  Once you have installed it there, open it and right click on the .exe file and select "Send to / Desktop" so that you don't have to hunt all over for it.

tell to the XPlane installer

 

You can tell the installer where to put the Xplane folder just like any installer, once installed you can move the XPlane folder anywhere you choose if needed, one example would be; If you bought a new drive for Xplane you don't have to re-install xplane, you would just move the entire folder to its new location, that's it! The Xplane installer will always know where it is, so you don't have to worry about re-installing.

OK thank you my friends, from Argentina, and please sorry for annoy you with this stuff, but it is my first SSD and First XPlane.

 

Regards
