Moving Prepar3d to SSD - Question

[1other1 1]

I am doing a fresh install of Prepar3d to a new 480GB SSD. I have Orbx FTX Base, Vector, FS Global and other add-on scenery. Should I move this to the SSD as well? If so how do I go about uninstalling a re-installing the scenery products? Thanks in advance.

If you are doing a fresh install of P3D on another drive you MUST uninstall via the Win 7 Control Panel, so that LM knows that the uninstall has been carried out. You will then need to reinstall on the new drive and re-enter your LM password.

 

Now completely delete the Orbx folder on the drive you are vacating. Next do a reinstall of Orbx scenery using the triple installer versions. (See this list if you are flying P3D v2.2 http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/68566-master-list-of-all-p3d2-ready-orbx-products/): Orbx will locate your sim from the Registry, so simply select the version where you wish to install.

Thank you Mac! Is it now better to put Orbx on the SSD with Prepar3D?

" Is it now better to put Orbx on the SSD with Prepar3D?"

I don't think you have a choice, ORBX installs to the base folder of the sim you select.

 

"Orbx will locate your sim from the Registry," - not for me it doesn't - the new triple installer is insisting on installing to C:\FS\P3D, which doesn't exist.

My registry points to E:\FS\P3D, which is on my SSD, and there are NO registry entries for C:\FS\P3D, yet ORBX has remembered it somewhere, somehow, from long ago :-(
