Hi guys,

I absolutely love FS9 but lately i have not been able to use it as i had it installed on the family's computer. I really want to play it again but cannot afford to buy a new comptuer as i have recently purchased a PS3. But i have had an idea, so please tell me if this would work or not.

- Plug my 2gig memory stick into the computer > Download FS9 and its addons on to the memory stick > plug the memory stick into my PS3 and somehow put FS9 onto the PS3's hard drive > Plug the PS3 into the computer and play FS9. Now it will not take up memory on the computer and i can play with max settings.

Please tell me this can work!!!

Thanks, SB

It is a windows program so you would need windows to run it like other base software ...

Oh true...how stupid am i!

How about just installing it to the memory stick. The plugging it into the computer every time i use FS9?

FS9 is about 11GB without addons.

I think both of you guys are a bit out.

My 'Flight Simulator 9' folder is just over 6.4Gb (it's a full install, not the minimal option), and that is with add-ons like Robin Corn's Rotorua and Wellington Scenery, various other freeware sceneries and afcads, payware and freeware add-on aircraft (PMDG Beeches, a couple of Carenado aircraft etc).

For a completely vanilla installation I reckon you could be looking at about 5Gb.

And yes, I think your idea of having FS on a USB drive could work, but would probably be hampered by the low read/write speed of Flash Memory.

You can always just buy another HDD and put that in the PC and load it onto that.

Would This Work? :)
