Just bought a 2nd 100GB SSD and thinking about starting to convert over from FSX. Is anybody doing this and is this a problem having both on the same machine?

Thanks
Steve
 
Thanks Gdavis101, one other thing, when you purchase it, is it a physical disk or is it a huge download?

I have been looking at getting Prepar3d. They broke it up in to 16 downloadable .rar files to make it "easier." So you will need WinRAR or something to combine the files together, and install the program. Other than that it looks pretty painless to set up.

P3D is around 10 GBytes. My download option is in 3 large rar files. I don't know if other options are available.
 
Same as buying large ORBX scenery. 3 to 4 Gig chunks. I didnt know they reduced the download parcel sizes. Thats a plus.


I have FSX, FS9 and P3 on the same external drive. No problems.
 
OK, thanks everyone! Just saw also that the latest version will be out on the 20th so I'll wait and start downloading the files then. Looking forward to joining all here that have already moved to the next logical step in this great hobby.
