Installing FS9 and FSX

Post by Graham King »

I am building a new computer with the power to run FSX. I want to install both on my computer so I can see how my paints differ between versions.

Has anybody else done this and which order do I install them if I want FS9 to be my main version?

Why can’t they keep the colours in the bloody paint pots and just leave them grey

I have both Sims on my machine. They run without interference. Also the filesystem does not share componensts.

I would suggest to install FS9 first and then FS10.

Good Luck

I agree, they don't bite.

Install FS9 first en then FSX. ( remember to uninstall in the reverse order or it will mess up your registry)

Sorry old thread revive, FINALLY got a machine capable of both max sliders in FS9 and almost max in FSX, so I bought FSX, of course in my excitement to finally have good smooth framerates, I started installing FSX first before I made the port over of my existing and MAIW heavy FS9 files. Any updates to the procedures or "user tips"?
