Technical Issues

[Brynbob]

Hi Team,

I had an SSD drive installed in my computer to speed up my FSX and operating System, but it is so full that I am loathed to run it at the moment. My dilemma is do I uninstall FSX and re install it on my 1 TB drive, which is nearly empty, or can I move aircraft and scenery onto the terabyte drive?

My system is as follows:
Bryn's PC Information. as at 25th October 2012
Operating System: MS Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit
Processor: Intel i5 Quad Core CPU 3.10 GHz
R.A.M.: 6 GB
Video Card: ATI Radion HD - 4800 Series with 1.00 GB Ram
Boot Drive ©: ADATA SP900 SSD Disk, NTFS 119.24 GB
Other Drives:"D" Drive NTFS 1.00 TB, and Partitioned: "E, F, G" Drives NTFS 250GB

Your assistance in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.

Cheers

Brynbob

Hi ya Bryn
You need everything FSX within the same directory, you would find you are better of transfering the OS and everything to the 1 TB and make the SSD totally independent for Flight Sim only .

Sorry to disagree with you there Ian my advise would be to put your operating system on the SSD reinstall your Flight sim on the other drive.
I have two SSD drive one with the windows 7 64 ultimate and the other with the flightsim on and I find that I do not get any better performance with the flight sim on the SSD than I did when I had it on a Weston digital 1000rpm HDD

Thanks also for that Ian, the cat is in with the pidgins now which way I should go? As I said to Ian, my concern is the small size of the SSD drive, I keep filling it up with Aircraft and Scenery, I thought one could move all the Aircraft and Scenery to another drive and it would still work fine, but obviously not! I was trying to avoid uninstalling FSX and re-installing it, but it looks like I will have no choice, ah well back to the drawing board!
