Good day

 

I need some advice on where should I install fsx

This is my problem I have windows on one ssd and fsx on the other ssd and every time i run into a problem with windows it looks like i have to reinstall everything on both ssds

 

so i reinstalled windows on ssd 1 fsx wont start although it is compleatly installed on the other ssd

 

how do i fix this please

You will find  that some data from fsx is also on your windows ssd drive as well so when you did  a  re install of your windows  again you have wiped  the  data for fsx to run, but could  be  wrong  some  one  we come along for further  help hopefully you don't have  to re install fsx  again

Google Flight1 registry repair tool ...  http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library

 

Use that to tell the registry where  FSX is.All should work, apart from flights. 

 

You do not have to re-install. 

Then, if you have a mate with FSX, copy the flights directory from his 'My Documents' to yours.

The only Jelp I can suggest is to put FSX on one drive only.  I hope this Jelps you.

If running Win7 or (shudder) Win8, be SURE to run FSX "as administrator".

You should also use that option when installing FSX.

This is correct. Upon reinstalling Windows OS, you wiped out the Appdata FSX folder on the systems drive which contains the information needed for FSX. You also wiped out the Program, data, and Documents folder which have FSX info in them not to mention the Registry. IF you backed up those three folder, installed Windows on the system drive and installed the backup folder back on the system disk then ran the Flight One registry repair, you would be fine. Now the only options are either a FSX repair or installation. Then you will have to reinstall addons to make the DLL.xml file. Wow that was a mouth ful.

Ideally you should get an SSD for the operating system and programs. 120GB is fine

 

Next you should get another SSD dedicated exclusively for FSX and its addons. If you run FSX low profile and with few addons (no photoreal scenery etc.) then 120GB will be fine. If you install tons of addons, 500GB.

 

If you can't afford an SSD for FSX, then a dedicated HDD is also fine. You won't have any worse performance, it's just that loading times will take longer. 

 

I have my FSX installed in the ROOT FOLDER (important) of a dedicated 1TB partition out of a 3TB HDD.

Well Thanks to all  as far as the word  Jelp  I meant Help  but i was at work and on my Phone so sorry for that
