What files should I back up to save reinstalling?

Hi all,

I'd like to avoid having to reinstall fs2002, as Ive had to do it twice in one week already. So, apart from the "aircraft" file, the "effects" file, and main cfg file, what other files should I back up to save reinstalling?

Thanks

Tin

FS2002.CFG

SCENERY.CFG

If you have the disk space available, copy the entire, newly installed FS2002 folder to a safe place on your harddrive.

What exactly do you mean when you say a "safe place"? If your disk is not partitioned and if you're not referring to removable media such as a cd, zip drive disk or floppy, what would you consider to be a safe place?

Thank,

Robert

I would say just don't lose the cd, you can pull one file at a time, or do a full reinstall. There really is no safe place if you get a virus, or for whatever reason you have to do the dreaded reformat....
