I'm well intro setting up a new Windows 10 machine for flight simulation, and I thought I was choosing to install the many FS2020 'Packages' on my secondary 1TB SSD drive, but instead I chose my 4TB 7200RPM drive. That folder is currently 193GB Machine is an HP OMEN i9-10850K CPU @3.6GHz, with 64GB RAM, Nvidia 3090 with 24GB memory and the drives are: Windows drive 2TB SSD Second SSD for high speed data 2TB SSD 4TB 7200RPM disk drive The MSFS2020 Packages are on the 4TB, I meant to put them on the second SSD. DO I need to fully uninstall and reinstall FS2020 to move them safely or is there an easier and less time consuming way? Thanks

Hey team, my current Windows 10 machine is starting to show its age with an i7-770KCPU @ 4.2GHz and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti all on an Asus motherboard. Anyway, my thought is to upgrade to this machine. Lacks Thunderbolt, but I'm liking the specs otherwise for flight sim as well as for video and phot editing Permiere and Phostshop- Lighthroom . https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1659393-REG/msi_aegis_rs_11tf_223us_aegis_rs_gaming_desktop.html/qa

Thank you gentlemen, I will experiment with each method. Fun to be back rebuilding my sim world from scratch (meaning reinstalling FSX and XPlane11 and the many, many aircraft and scenery packages I've acquired including the latest Obrx Global during the weekend sale here).

Happy to be back here after several years with a new instance of FSX and a lot of Orbx scenery installed. I used to fly with FSX up on my left screen and Plan-G on the right screen. I don;t seem to be able to have anything but a blank screen on the 2nd display when FSX is active. Could some kind person please remind me of what I need to do to make this happen like I used to? Windows 10 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti here running NVIDIA driver 23.21.13.9101. FSX and Acceleration cleanly installed with Orbx scenery.

I often used Plan-G as a moving map and for instruments on my 2nd monitor in FSX. I'd like to do the same in P3D,but whenever I 'unpause' P3D, my 2nd monitor goes black. Windows 7 64 bit btw if it matters. Appreciate any input on what I'm missing. Thanks, Phil

Very helpful response Rob, thanks!

I looked at OBS....I think I will stick with Fraps...but can someone clue me in on unused keys I can map for enable and disable? Just saw this and will try it http://www.prepar3d.com/forum-5/topic/how-can-i-use-fraps-successfully-in-p3d-v2-2/

Hi there. Still feeling new to the shift to P3D despite having had all versions along the way here. I always used Fraps in FSX and X-Plane...is that what you all are using for video and screen captures? I am a little stumped trying to find an 'Enable' key to map and a 'Disable' key. The default of F9 is not good...I tried PRINT SCREEN and Pause/Break...didn't seem to start the recording though and nothing recorded/ Suggestions and insight appreciated. Thanks. Phil

That was helpful, thanks. I found all of what you showed previously though....what I was missing was I had to click on the box for sim/none/none *and* then search through the folders under 'sim' to find that a page worth of scrolling down in the 'view' section there is a section of commands for 'Scenic Flyer' such as to toggle the panels on and off. Thanks much!

Hi, I am trying to map keys on my Saitek X52 to toggle this plug-in on and off and vary other settings: Sceninc Flyer V1.3 http://digital-avionics.com/scenic/home.html The instructions suggest mapping these commands: /view/scenic_flyer_on_off Great on a joystick button, this turns the panel on/off. /view/scenic_panel_larger Makes the Scenic-Flyer panel larger. /view/scenic_panel_smaller Makes the Scenic-Flyer panel smaller. /view/scenic_select Toggles the panel between GA and Glass. /view/scenic_transparency Alters the transparency of the panel. /view/scenic_force_on Forces the Scenic-Flyer panel to ON. ...but when I go to the Settings > Joystick & Equipment > Buttons Advanced in BETA latest, I can't type in the command...Whether I hit the Joystick button first and see it go green and show me there is nothing mapped to it first, or I try entering the command first...I just am not getting the interface here for setting this. Thanks for any help. Phil

I just did this upgrade...I had EZDok installed for a long time and was frustrated with it, so I had recently uninstalled and tried the Saitek SW for the X52 (didn't like it). When I saw there was a BETA version of EZDok that included Prepar3d, I jumped on it. FYI, it turned out I needed to go install the old version of EZDok...that comes in a Flight1.com wrapper...the code had expired...I needed to go to FLight1 and request they reactivate my code which happened instantly. From there I was able to follow instructions found here It all went well...just a lot of precise steps to follow including scanning for key conflicts in each sim, checking the version of SimConnect (no longer needed I understand now). I am happy to have EZDok back...it looks promising and works great in Prepar3d V2.5, however in FSX (box/acceleration) I acn not fihgure out how to get the hat switch on my X52 to allow me to pan around like I can on Prepar3d and how I used to in FSX...very frustrating.

How did this work out? I have been looking at trying the EZdok BETA...just uninstalled the older version and was playing with the Saitek X52 SW and profiles for FSX and Prepar3D V2.5. I wasn't happy with EZdok and needing to make tedious camera profiles for certain aircraft. I did have good profiles for some like the NGX etc.

Just getting into DCS here. Always had a thing for A-10s as there were some based near where I grew up. When I first installed it I couldn't get my mouse cursor to show up. I opened a ticket and was just told to update my video drivers which I do regularly for FSX and X-plane anyway.... Didn't help. Only recently did I see the updated FAQ that tells one to un check show trails for the mouse. That fixed it all finally.... Can't wait to fly it some tonight.

Thanks will try it...

Hi folks...looking for a little help. Most of my scenery is Orbx US and ANZ...but I bit on end of year sales and bought MegScenery for Connecticut and Pennsylvania. They were really big downloads, and I then ran the installers and installed them in their own directory and added them ( I thought) to the scenery library. What I get now whenever I start up is an error as follows (wanted to post jpeg or pdf of the message but the rules are so strict and complicated I figured I'd just retype the error): SECENERY.CFG file error. Local scenery directory (..\MegaSceneryEarth\Connecticut\MegaSceneryEarth (possibly more characters cut off here) Connecticut 003\SCENERY) in scenery Area.156 not found. Click OK to continue. OK Can I get a little help or guidance on fixing this? My thought is to go back and delete all the MegaScenery files installed in a custom locatuion and redo the install using the C:\ etc defaults (even though my FSX is on E:\FSX BTW I do have 'Scenery Config Editor" as well as "Addit!Pro for FSX" Thanks! Phil

I use EZdok Camera and I just hit numeric keypad 2 while in the camera/view on which I want to adjust height and hit PG UP to heighten it.

I have been very pleased with the Kodiak and all its variants.

WooHoo! Updated...all fixed by following @aarque"s advice: I am going to take a shot in the dark and guess you will find them in your "SimObjects\Misc" folder. That's where they were and I removed those folders and all seems happy now.

So still having this issue while I wait for Just Flight Support to get back to me. I did run latest version of AddIt!Proo registered and when I chose EDIT Aircraft it detected some duplicate names and offered to fix that- I let it fix that but I still have errors with objects of same name. HERE are the latest errors I get in the order in which they appear when I launch FSX and again if I choose a plane to fly....after that all runs OK until I choose a difernet vehicle.

Nice find. Picked a spare up.

Whoops! Sorry @aarque, should have addressed my response to @nortmar, whose Support Team sent me a tool from JustFlight to gather data about my FSX install so they can help me. I will see when I can get after editing/checking the FSX.CFG file again...just arrived a family reunion for the night with 50 family members probably all heading for the bar.

Thanks. ZIP file from your tool sent just now. I do own Addit!Pro for FSX...when I run it there is no conflict flagged or shown. And "Yes" to your guess below- the remaining messages are "There are multiple objects..." including 'Spotty' and "ControlTower....." etc.

Thanks, looking at fsx.cfg I don;t see TrafficX at all...even searching on it....most of the rest is as you said it would be. Here is an excerpt of how I find it now pre-editing anything where I have just clipped out the parts that have SimObjectPaths in them...note the Traffic360 entry being separated from the others.....suggestion?

There is no uninstaller or Add/Remove Programs entry for TrafficX on my system...and I already tried moving to desktop/removing the folders I noted in the original post.

Thanks @aarque. I had the program already from previous repairs/updates. I used it to remove the two problem areas that had red warnings and that resolved the scenery issue, BUT the issue of duplicate vehicles/planes/spotty/control towers etc still remains.
