May 11, 20179 yr If installing ATC (RC4, PF3, PATC/X etc) on the main PC where is a better location for it: on the same SSD with P3D or on OS SSD? Thanks, Dirk.

Hi, I would recommend to stay away from Local Disk C (where most of us install OS into). Same or different SSD/HDD doesn't matter. I have a 240GB SSD with Win10 and Window softwares only. A different 480GB to install everything related to simulator which I though it would be more than enough, time proves me wrong.

Hoang Le Is it still valid even if I'm not going to install ATC to any of the problematic 'closed' Windows folders, like Program Files etc. but just on C:\ ? My concern is rather about OS and hardware simultaneous access to different locations on the same SSD (with P3D) or 2 different ones, I'm not sure which way is less stressful overhead-wise. Thanks, Dirk.
May 13, 20179 yr Moderator The best place is on another PC and then use WideFS (commercial software by Pete Dowson) to link to P3D. The second PC can be anything as the processing is minimal. Enunciation will be smoother too as it's not competing with P3D for resources. RC4 can be run this way, not sure about the others. Ray (Cheshire, England).

May 13, 20179 yr Author Sure, Ray, after 11+ years of RC4 upgrade, first time asking how to run it on the main PC for my MCE test purposes. Dirk.

Thanks, Dirk. Hi, I believed it has to do with the security settings in your Window. If your security setting is the same as other drive then you should be good. I do not think there will be any difference if you install it in C:\ or D:\ , the limitation that we have to deal nowadays pretty much from inside the simulator, computer hardware are too good for it now. I setup exclusion in my anti-virus for P3D drive so I want to put all in one place to manage easily.

I have mine on Drive E:\ and my sim is on Drive F:\ The original question was if I were to install RC4 (or PF3 of course) on the same PC where P3D was what would be a better location performance-wise (both are SSDs). Thanks, Dirk.
May 13, 20179 yr Well you can either run your sim and ATC programme from the same drive or different drives. It's up to you. How it affects performance depends on your configuration and whetehr your disks are full or not more than two thirds.

I doubt whether you will see any noticeable difference. With PF3 make sure you follow the deactivation instructions.

I'm just playing now with MCE and RC4 interaction on the main PC (as the current MCE build does not work with RC4 on WideClient) for the learning purposes only. And I'm anxiously wating for all current MCE/PF3 issues to be resolved. Thanks, Dirk.
