johnyyz Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I am currently running windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit 1. I was planning on setting up P3D on a separate SSD from FSX so if I don't like it I won't corrupt my FSX ( I assume I can do this ?) 2. Can I run P3D in windows 7 64 bit 3. Must I get the professional license or would the academic license do fine ?

lnuss Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The license is for you and you alone to decide. Moderators strongly discourage that discussion. But you can run P3D on the same partition as FSX or different, your choice, and in Win 10 or Win 7 -- again, your choice. Any of those options should work fine, since P3D and FSX are completely separate from each other. It's like asking if you can put a browser on one drive and a picture viewer on another. So whatever you decide should work fine. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, what's in P3D stays there, and what's in FSX stays there. They're independent of each other. But... IF you want to do so, it's possible to point P3D to the path name of some add-on in FSX and use it without making a copy (many, but not all, can work this way), or vice-versa, so if you've done that, then removing one will affect the other to that extent. But otherwise independence is the word. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
