ballacaust Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi there! I just finished building a new PC last night, and I have one question regarding it. First I'll list the exact components: Case: Rosewill Thor V2 MB: Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark I LGA 1150 CPU: Intel i7-4790k Haswell 4.0Ghz RAM: G. Skill Ripjaw X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1866mhz PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 850W Video: EVGA Geforce 980GTX CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H105 liquid Storage: (1) Samsung 850 Pro 256GB (1) Samsung 850 Pro 512GB (1) Samsung 840 Pro 512GB System has been assembled, Windows installed...so far everything works great, but I haven't had time to do anything else (install drivers, overclock, etc.). My question is this: The OS (win7x64) is installed to the 256GB SSD (obviously). I'm planning on putting FSX on the 850 pro 512gb. Will that be big enough for FSX plus all my addons? Stupidly, I forgot to check how large my current FSX install + addons was on my old machine before taking it offline. I run quite a few scenery addons, the largest pack being FTX Global + Vector + FS Global, plus all of the FTX NA regions as well as Australia/NZ. I also use quite a bit of plane addons, including all the PMDG planes + liveries, several of the Carenado's, Masjestic Dash8, Wilco CRJ, Embraer Regional Jets, all the RealAir planes, Airbus X Extended, and several other payware planes. I also use REX4 + ASN, and some other bells/whistles such as Ground Services X, FS2Crew, FSPassengers, and some others. Will all this fit on one of the 512 drives, or should I buy a much larger mechanical HDD to dedicate to addons? I'd rather not do this if I can help it, since I bought the absolute fastest SSD's currently available and would like to make use of them, plus the fact that I've never split up FSX and it's addons between drives before. Just fyi, the 840 pro ssd I was planning on using for all my other games that I'll eventually install, so for the purpose of this post it'll be off limits for anything FSX related. Thanks!

fxsttcb Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 512GB should be plenty. UNLESS you plan on using a lot of photoreal scenery. With the OS only using a small part of the 256GB drive you could use some of it for those. My huge FSX/P3D/FS9 sims all reside on a 512GB 840 Pro. Those, ASN, TacPack, and a few other trinkets are using 340GB...Don HAF 932 Adv, PC P&C 950w, ASUS R4E,i7-3820 5.0GHz(MCR320-XP 6 fans wet), GTX 970 FTW 16GB DDR3-2400, 128GB SAMSUNG 830(Win 7 Ult x64), 512GB SAMSUNG 840 Pro(FSX P3D FS9) WD 1TB Black(FS98, CFS2&3, ROF, etc.), WD 2TB Black-(Storage/Backup) Active Sky Next, Rex4 TD/Soft Clouds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudys Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Hi there.......I too have questions regarding FSX Deluxe install into a new build comp. Can anyone tell me the order process of installing FSX, add-ons such as REX4 and related SDK and net sub-software required for many add-ons I am having a real problem getting software to properly install after I have installed FSX. Is Windows 7 32 bit OK to use or should I run Windows 7 64 bit. Asus MB H97-Plus 2 GB DDR3 1600 Memory GTX 960 VC 500 GB SSD Help would be greatly appreciated Thanks RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
