b757jonny Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Good day friends of flightsim. What partition is needed to install MSFS 2020? - partition C: will not have enough space, will it work on a different partition too. - Is there a loss of frame rates, when MSFS 2020 being installed of other partition than C: Happy flying Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 1. Where ever you would like it installed. 2. No. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdish Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 The word is the sim installs partially to C: with largest part configurable during install to where you want. I only use single partitions (Except for O/S required partitioning) Plan on installing FS2020 to physical NVMe D: drive and download cache will be on physical HDD G: (Configurable INSIDE the sim). No FPS loss if installed on different locations.

longbreak754 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hi Jonny, Yes, based on the info available you should be able to install on a different partition or a separate drive. How you will do that will depend on how you buy it via digital download - either direct from MS or via Steam - or if you buy it on the 10 DVD package available from Aerosoft - this is in the EU only. See this thread for some additional info on what will be required. As for framerates - IME of using FS2004 and FSX on both a different partition and on a separate drive I wouldn't think there will be any loss.

Elvensmith Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 If you get the Steam version, the non MS-ese part of the game will presumably go to wherever your Steam Common files are. Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.e.g.a.s.u.s Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I've got the Steam version on pre-order. As my C: drive is getting crowded I've prepared space as follows: Open Steam interface > select 'Steam' on Menu bar > select 'Settings' > select 'Library' on the right side, select 'Steam library folders' then 'add library folder' Choose whichever drive you like. I use a second drive. 'D:\Flight' ^^:cool:^^ ´´´\/``` AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 48GB RAM, RTX 2070S, 2x1TB Nvme SSD. FSX Gold, XP-11, MSFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.e.g.a.s.u.s Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 ..and all for naught. The so-called Steam version I have is only a loader, apparently. The sim is still downloaded and installed from MS-asobo servers. You have to specify the library folder again, it seems, cos it's saving to default right now as I download, which is C: Argh! Didn't realize that in time, and now 50% is downloaded so I'll just let it finish. ^^:cool:^^ ´´´\/``` AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 48GB RAM, RTX 2070S, 2x1TB Nvme SSD. FSX Gold, XP-11, MSFS.

longbreak754 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Once the install has finished you can use the tools available in your Steam account to move the installed files to somewhere else - a lot quicker than deleting and then reinstalling again....
