FSX reinstallation

[Claude Troncy 4]

Bonjour,

 

I have to re-install FSX, the PMDG 737NGX has no problem.

 

It is not clear to me if there is a way to save all the PMDG FMC setup (Aircraft, option) in order to restore it after the re-install of FSX and 737NGX.

 

May be there is some files to save, and restore.

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Claude.

Are you talking about saving your panel state files? I think you could copy your Panel States in the PMDG folders is your FSX root folder, Your save files I think are placed in the documents (could be wrong, I am not on my FSX computer). I always cleared out everything when re installing so not exactly sure it will work. The PMDG intro document explains what is created when you save in better detail.

 

Good Luck!

Hi Brandon,

 

I am not talking about the Panel state but the Aircraft (Where we configure the equipment) and Options (Where we define the key commands, mechanical failure....) that's different from the Panel state.

 

I do not find anything in the doc how to save/restore, those data.

Best regards

Just make a backup of the entire <FSX>\PMDG directory.

The specific files that you are asking about are stored in <FSX>\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\Aircraft.

 

They are named <atc_ID>.inf

Thank you John

I found these files.

 

- PMDG 737 NGX/Aircraft/<atc_ID>.ini for the specific options related to <atc_ID>

 

-  PMDG 737 NGX/737NGX_Options.ini for the options related to all the 737

-  PMDG 737 NGX/737NGX_Shortcuts.ini for the key commands

 

Best regards

Claude
