Hi

 

Due to shocking load times i am going to completely uninstall p3d and reinstall on the system ssd on windows 10, anybody else doing that i cant see it causing an issue

 

Thanks

Wayne

As long as you assign its own folder outside of C:\Programfiles you are good. Putting it on C:\P3D4 would work just fine.

Thanks a lot vic

Hello,

My 4.2 is on a SSD and all OK.

 

Hi emile is that your operating system drive as well

I have an 500GB SSD with W10 and P3D utilitys (AS, UTL etc.) and 1TB SSD only for P3D and Scenery, running well so far.

 

I have a 1TB SSD with a C:\ partition of 194GB and D:\ partition of 758GB. Everything on D: except Win10. All OK.

My system is like that, everything installed on a .M2 Key SSD driver, no problems at all :)

I have a single SSD with everything on, including P3DV4 (it's even in the Program Files folder, which causes absolutely no issues, despite all the naysayers on this forum).

Install outside of program files and right click the installed folder go to properties, security tab, add your user name and give it full control.

Everything on C drive will not be a problem, but avoid going beyond 85% capacity if possible on an SSD, I have windows only on my M2 c drive P3D on my D: 1TB SSD drive, I got in the habit of doing this in the past as the C drive will fill as you install programs outside your windows drive some elements will go on C drive just as flight sims do.

PS my D drive is excluded form my AV scans.

I would never exclude anything from AV scans..

It is not advisable, specially with recent news of malware being installed with programs that were legitimate.

Excluding the Activesky and FSUIPC dll files and others that run along side p3d is not a security risk

You are wrong.. viruses, malware and adware can come from many different sources and they can hide themselves on drives that are "Excluded" from your AV scans, once they manage to get in your AV will not prevent their execution since you have explicitly exclude them and "white listed" their behaviour.

If you get a virus called as_connect_64.dll that is a dedicated hacker
