September 7, 200520 yr My FS9 installation has grown much larger than I anticipated to the point where, even though FS9 is on its own disk partition, I am rapidly running out of free space on that partition. I have already moved infrequently used planes to a different partition (I copy them back into the FS9Aircraft folder if I do want to use them) and have also moved most of third-party sceneries to another partition. What I'm wondering is if it is possible to move the entire Aircraft folder to another partition and then point FS9 to that folder?
September 7, 200520 yr I had the same problem. If you have free space elsewhere on the drive, get a copy of Partition Magic or Partition Commander and resize the FS partition.Sure beats reformatting and reinstalling.John
September 8, 200520 yr Thanks for the info. I was hoping I wouldn't have to mess around with the drives but bit the bullet and used Partition Magic to increase the size of the FS9 partition. Everything still seems to be working, knock on wood.
September 8, 200520 yr Donny AKA ShalomarFly 2 ROCKS!!!I don't know if you use FSM 2.8, but one of its utlities is to zip up aircraft and send them anywhere you specify. You can get them back in less than thirty seconds. But you shouldn't do it to defaults whose guages are used by other planes. There is a way to divide aircraft into fleets and deactivate them to conserve resources as well. Some say more planes active means less performance. Many other utilities too.It's an 8 meg download from Avsim, but it packs a punch.Best Regards, Donny
September 9, 200520 yr Just for the sake of completeness (as I see, that you've already solved your problem): if you use WinXP and NTFS disks, it is actually possible. You can move an entire FS subfolder's content to the root of another partition and then (with XP's Disk Management[1,2]) mount this partition in the now empty folder.RegardsOliver[1] Disk Management overview:http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...ncepts_02a.mspx[2] To create a mounted drive:http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...ccess_path.mspx
