New laptop, ONE internal hard drive. Where to install FSX?
mgh replied to bofhlusr's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
Is that the best you can do - a friend told you? I keep C:\Microsoft \Micosoft Games\ Microsoft Flight Simulator X and have never any problems. You didn't read me my right. I have never changed default permisions or UAL on my PC That is even simpler! -
My point is that operating systems can, and do, cause unwanted effects - what 's yours?

What's the disadvatages of not installing in C\Program Files (x86). It avoids messing about with UAL and permissions. I've never had to change either. -
The default boxed version of FS9 doesn't instal on a recent security update on Wn 7- I know because I had to reinstall it! Microsoft already regards it as obsolesent
-
That is my point. The default boxed version no longer installs in Win7. Beig obsolocent, Microsost has no longer any interest in it!
-
FS9 is a 11 year old obsolete game designed to run on an obsolete Windows 2000/ XP, or 98/ME. It's not going to last for ever
-
Even when new it had glaring errors. In the UK for example, the Airspace Classification is totally wrong. It ignores Class A airspace totally and uses Class B airspace which doesn't existing the the UK. Microsoft simply used US classification and ignored the rest of the world.
-
The title of the thead is ATC is NOT 'as real as it gets'! :-(. That's because Microsoft developed it as a game. That that's why add-on developers have enanced it to make a a simulation - if you must call it that. The only agenda here is thoseis who are terrified of being called a gamer - shock horror, we are simulators!!!
-
Microsoft developed FS9 (and all the version) as games - with all their limitations. By all means enhance FS9 by add-ons to improvement it. Don't blame Microsoft for not including all add-ons people wanted.in the base price. It wouldn't have sold at that prices and we'd have had nothing!
-
You dsbeleive the OP's initial post?
-
The simple explanation is that FS9/FSX are games - marketed for the game market.!

PSA: Disclose When You're Given a Free Copy of Payware to Review
mgh replied to catchman's topic in Hangar Chat
Surely it's only honest to state if an reviewer has been given a benefit - even it's a free copy. -
This thread is now more than a pointless storm in a tea-cup. It also has a more misinformation about copyright.
-
It deserved to be grounded if it can't meet the safety standards.

My laptop has one physical drive but: Local Disk (C:) Recovery (D:) HP_Tools (E:) Use only C: for applications. C:\FSX never causes any problems: using C:Program files(x86) can. Why take the risk?
