December 22, 20178 yr Hi. I've never dealt with Dovetail before, but just purchased FSW. Is it possible to download FSW to one computer and then actually do the install on my sim computer which would be connected to internet for the actual install process. It didn't appear that I could, but would prefer that.

But you can't run the sim in more than 1 steam online account at the same time (meaning you can't use it in both your computers at the same time, what I think you won't do). But you can keep it in multiple machines without any problem. I have it in my notebook and main PC.

December 23, 20178 yr Author Thanks. Actually, I didn't want to install on more than one machine (flight-sim computer), but wanted to have the program software downloaded to one computer somewhat as an archive, I guess you would say, and then just transfer it to my sim computer for the actual install. It appeared the only choice I had on Steam was to actually install it as it is downloading to the first computer. All of my other sim software I download the program to computer 1 and then via HD transfer to sim computer for actual install.

Steam will download and install it, but you can do a backup after the download is finished. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8794-yphv-2033 On this tutorial the first step shows how to do the backup, the second step shows how to restore on the other machine. It's really simple. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel
