May 26, 20197 yr With the growing popularity of P3Dv4 it would be really useful to have a comprehensive guide as to how to set up a flight sim PC to run both. I'm currently running FSX only but am contemplating building a new higher spec machine to run both sims. It's a bit like stumbling around in the dark... My current plans are to install FSX on one M2 type SSD and P3Dv4 on a second one. But where would I install the OS....on another smaller SSD? Another conundrum is where to install Orbx scenery, Active Sky, REX, FS Commander, FSUIPC4 and FSUIPC5. All very confusing and time-consuming searching the various forums for advice, often without success. Can anybody point in the right direction?

May 26, 20197 yr FSX and P3D can exist independently of each other, on the same PC. Just install P3D wherever you like... I have it on a separate 250 GB SSD. Bert
