August 12, 20205 yr Searched and got no hits on this topic. Does anyone know if FSX and FS2020 can exist on the same computer or is it one or the other? Curious
August 12, 20205 yr Yes but why FSX | DCS | X-Plane 11 | MSFS 2020 | IL2:BoX Favorite aircraft currently: MSFS Savage Cub

Curious Yes they can. In fact as long as you have space, you can have FSX, FSX SE, P3D V3 v4 & V5, XPlane, etc. Enjoy them all! Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.

Curious It's sure, yes. MSFS is a completely new software and it has nothing to do with FSX. But I think, if you try MSFS, there will be not any way back to FSX 🙂

August 12, 20205 yr Author Thanks all. It was not a question of why, just whether I could (just in case) 😄
August 12, 20205 yr No, but FSX and MSFS can.

August 12, 20205 yr If you have the space you can keep an old sim around for reference. Say for trying to duplicate an old behavior in FS2020. It won't be long before it becomes irrelevant but just leave it and do a full new install on a super-fast NV-ME drive.

August 12, 20205 yr I'm actually thinking about reinstalling P3D 4 with some of my OrbX stuff, simply for screenshot comparisons of particular regions.
