February 18, 201412 yr I am not having any major issues at the moment (ouch probably shouldnt of said that !) just out of interest, my FSX is not installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games but to E:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games I do have a folder C:\Program Files (x86) Lots of people recommend not installing to C:\Program Files (x86), as mine is on E is that different, or does it have the same restrictions? UAC is turned off and I instal everything as Administrator. Its just if I ever have to reinstal was wondering if I should instal say to E:\fsx and avoid Program Files (x86)\ irrespective of what drive its on. Although saying that I am becoming paranoid with fsx and image my drive fairly oftern to an external USB drive as a back up! Any comments appreciated.

February 18, 201412 yr Nope - On your e drive should be fine. failing that, It seems OK on the root of the C drive. IAN Ryzen 5800X3D, Nvidia RTX5080 - 32 Gig DDR4 RAM, 1TB & 2 TB NVME drives - Windows 11 64 bit MSFS 2024 Premium Deluxe Edition Resolution 2560 x 1440 (32 inch curved monitor)
