Fsx steam install

Recommended Posts

Hi thinking of getting fsx se but was wondering if it's still best To install out with the programs folder ie E/Fsx.

Can you still use nvidia inspector

Can you still use dx10 mode and dx10 fixer.

 

Thank you,Jim

AS I'd already installed a couple of other games on steam into my other HDD, I told steam to install FSX there i.e. F:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common etc. etc.

 

No problems with FSX:SE not being installed under windows/programs :)

 

Yes the DX10 fixer works and so does NVI

 

You don't have to tweak the FSX:SE config much. (Hundreds of threads on this in AVSIM :) )

Hey Jim:

 

I created a folder on my "C" drive, called it "games", and had steam install FSX in it.

I agree with the previous poster, DX10 fixer works perfectly and so does inspector.

Ok I purchased fsx se but how do I get it to install to a different folder steam looks as though it is going to install in program files.

 

Thanks Jim

Can you not just change the drive letter?

Start Steam. Open the Steam menu, top left of box, and goto Settings. Select Downloads and click on Steam Library Folders. Click on Add Library Folder and select the folder you want to add (or click on New Folder...). You will then be able to select from the Library Folders when installing a Steam game.
