January 19, 20197 yr New system and first time install of P3Dv4. Have two 2TB SSD drives, so not clear whether to install P3Dv4 on the system drive C: or on the other drive D: Does it matter? Ive also seen recommendations to not use the default file path and use a custom folder off the root like C:\P3Dv4 instead. Does it matter?
January 19, 20197 yr Functionally, it doesn't seem to matter. I have my P3D installed on a drive separate from the system drive and it works very well. I prefer to have P3D on a separate drive for a couple reasons: 1. If system drive crashes/dies my sim info is not affected. 2. I can easily change the sim to a larger drive as I purchase/install additional software without having to reinstall the system. Hope this information is helpful. Danny Danny

January 20, 20197 yr No performance benefits that I could see in the sim. I have installed the sim on to an ssd from a standard HDD and that has helped performance a little. Danny Danny
