There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Agree with Mark on the size. I have a 512 GB SSD for FSX and P3D only. Currently 68 are free but both sims are relatively ''full'' with ORBX stuff and many addons.
As for moving your install, yes you can copy it over but you have to create a symbolic link. I have done this in the past and it worked great. Here is the ''how to'' (taken from a MS help thread and adapted) here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...o/ca51d0d3-6b45-44f2-91cd-1868114aa727?auth=1:
Step1: Copy all contents from the installation directory to the new drive, I would suggest if e.g. the new drive is F: "F:\Prepar3dv2"
Step2: Rename the original "C:\...\Prepar3dv2" to something like Prepar3dv2__
Step3: From an elevated command prompt, pointing to the original C:\...\Prepar3dv2 folder create a symbolic link to the copied one (If the new drive is F) type:
mklink /D : "Prepar3dv2""F:\Prepar3dv2"

I know it sounds a bit complex but if done right it works and saves you the hassle of reinstall.
Again, I agree with the above, I have a 2Gb Seagate Hybrid for FSX solely and am satisfied with its performance after nearly 1 year. Having said that I am assuredly in for a catastrophe - watch this space.![]()
ok,well i have 8.1 with the win 10 update...how would i move this to the new drive,without all my stuff thats there now?
maybe i should just forget this idea ...i have no clue.
