usb777 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I have found I can install an aircraft into the FSX program while it is open and running. Is that a good idea or should you close the program first? Mike G.

mrzippy Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 If you want to see the new aircraft in the selection list after you install it, I think the program needs to be restarted. I don't think it will cause any harm. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usb777 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 They show up in the list. I just tried it to see. I try not to keep to many loaded since it slows down the load up time.

llivaudais Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I've never had any issue with installing while I'm running; the ONLY thing that doesn't work: if you needed that aircraft to properly display other players in a multiplayer session the game will NOT change the substitution it originally made - you do have to restart for it to use the new AC for other players.

usb777 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I found I can do this with FS9 as well. Eleven years and still learning. I love this game!! As well as everyone who takes the time to answer my threads no matter how small or lame, someone always answers my questions like Mr.zippy! Hats off to all! Mike G.
