June 10, 200619 yr Hi everyone,I am running out of space on my C: drive and wanted to know if it is possible to move the Aircraft folder on to my D: drive and somehow get FS2004 to recognise it's new location.Does anyone know if this will work or if there is a way of doing this? I have already removed as much as possible from my C: drive to free up space...Thanks in advance.
June 10, 200619 yr I believe you can do this with your add-on scenery. Would that help? I am not sure how it would effect your performance.

June 10, 200619 yr Look for the program NTFS Link.It will allow you to create a "junction" or "link" in the filesystem that simply points to somewhere else.i.e. you can have a "link" in your FS folder called Aircraft that simply points to another directory on the D drive.I have FS on D with my aircraft folder on C.Hope this helps,Ian
June 10, 200619 yr Is there a performance hit?

June 10, 200619 yr possibly, but then again it might improve performance too.All depends on your system, how it's configured (both hardware and software).

June 10, 200619 yr Commercial Member What I do is use Flightsim Add-On Manager (AOM). I just move aircraft I am not using presently into it's Hangar. Easy, one step, I can compress it if I wish and keeps the FS aircraft at a low number meaning qicker boot-up time.

June 10, 200619 yr Thank you to everyone that has responded, I will definately try your suggestions. Fingers crossed hopefully it will work! :-)Thanks again.
June 10, 200619 yr If you have a lot of music files on C, it may be easier to move them or video files, etc. that are not programs.

So if you have the same problem, this is the way to go!Thanks to all that replied.
