May 27, 20197 yr For those of you following the saga in my previous thread, you already know I'll be assembling my new P3D rig this week which will include a fresh copy of Windows 10. I was doing a little prep, and was trying to figure out what needs to be done on my current rig before the move, backing up files, etc. I'd like to make sure to keep my P3D key assignments, FSUIPC aircraft profiles, and other little things to make the move as seamless as possible. With that in mind, does anyone have a checklist of items and or files to grab and back up? Many of us have years tied into getting P3D and associated add-on's running the way we like. What do you guys do when moving everything over to a new system? I've got a bunch of work to do... -Jason Peters, MSgt, USAF Ret.Charter Pilot (SIC).

May 28, 20197 yr It'll go a little easier and without delay if you canvas your add-ons ahead of time and identify which need to be uninstalled so that the license is released for installation to the new system. That includes (but is not limited to): - P3D itself (needs to be uninstalled and select yes when prompted to release the license) - PMDG aircraft add-ons for P3D (deactivate in the PMDG options in the FMS) - FSDT Sceneries and add-ons (deactivate on the Addon Manager dropdown menu) - FFTF Dynamic and probably any other FSPS titles Regards Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
May 28, 20197 yr Author Sound advice as always Bob, I had all those on the list already. I'm currently working my way through my file structure and backing items up to an external HD to be moved to the new system. I haven't even gotten to the P3D drive yet, but will likely tackle it tomorrow. Any idea which P3D file contains our keyboard assignments? I'd rather not go through figuring those out again. I know the FSUIPC ini file contains the aircraft profiles for my custom button assignments. Hopeful I can back up both and do some cut and paste of the relevant sections to speed up configuration on the new system. Will likely attempt similar for PMDG and FSLabs too.
