So, after our house was flooded last month I lost everything on my PC's C:\drive that had the Win7 O/S, Outlook data files (ouch) and most other programs one finds on your boot drive. I have rebuilt the rig with a new power supply, some upgraded RAM and bigger SSD's and now have Win10 up and running. So that's all good news.
I am in a quandary how to deal with what's left of my P3D v 4.5 installation whose "architecture" has been spread across three different drives. Just to be clear, I managed to avoid losing any irreplaceable homemade addons, e.g. repaints, addon scenery etc, which is also good. The question I think but very much welcome comments is whether I can get away with a partial "repair" install of P3D (I don't know if they even offer this) OR I should start completely over from scratch, set aside all wanted addon files to add back in later (payware a/c may need to be properly installed again too), uninstall everything P3D, everything ORBX FTX? and do a completely fresh install of P3Dv4.5 and then add back my addons. I predict people will say the full and fresh install route, as there are now breaks in the mapping to essential installed P3D related files that were in my C-drive but are no longer there. A bit of a pain - particularly Orbx and many dozens of other add on sceneries that have to be activated in the sim one by one - but that's the way the ball bounces.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.
