JimJim - I installed my FSX Gold boxed edition (minus the acceleration disk) 5-6 years ago, and not knowing or hearing of the warnings about not installing the program into the Program File (X86), that is exactly where my FSX got installed to! I have since then, at latest count, accumulated some 177 aircraft, combination of default and freeware downloads! No issues to speak of, so far! AND, that's where it will remain until I start having issues.Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. I installed Steam using their simple prompts, it went in perfectly, and I have been very impressed with it's performance. Why are you saying that it going into the default location at C:\Program File(X86), is such a Bad Idea ? And what, or when can I expect it to go wrong ? Don't the Steam people know what they are doing ? Please explain. Much superior to my old boxed edition in every way. Since then I have downloaded and installed many planes and scenery's, have run the crap out of the thing, and FSXSE has performed beautifully. Yes, it got installed in Program File (X86). Pat: I purchased FSXSE about 3 weeks ago, and not knowing diddly squat, I installed it right in with my old Standard boxed edition.
Steam added the rest of the folders, and many others, during the install. Put it in C:\, or D:\My Games, or whatever you want, just NOT in C:\Program Files, or C:\Program File(X86).

It's default install is to C:\Program Files(X86), but from everything I've read, that's a BAD idea. People on this forum DO like to joke around a bit, BTW. That saves me a lot of time clicking on folder trees to get to where I want to be to add planes, change. I made a shortcut to the FSX folder, as well as others, such as C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX, where it places FSX.cfg (WIN7, anyway), and various other folders you might need/want.
Kind of handy, as add-on scenery's can add up to a lot of space usage on a HD. This works for me.Īnd, just as with FSX (Boxed), you can install your add-on scenery files anywhere you like, as long as the sim can "see" the location when you go to add it into the Scenery Library. From what I understand, you can also have Steam install it's folder structure in one place, and FSX in another, but I haven't experimented with that.
When you do, Steam will make a lengthy, and complex (relatively), folder tree, with FSX down in it. You also have a better FSX.CFG file.īy the way, don't be fooled. If you d/l and install FSX:SE, you now have FSX with SP1, SP2, Acceleration, and any other add-on Microsoft made for FSX.
