I am going to build a new Windows computer to be used mostly for FS2020 (which I haven't purchased yet). I have purchased 2 NVMe SSD drives, one 500GB and one 2TB. I was thinking I would use the 500GB as the system boot drive (C:\) and install FS2020 to the 2TB drive, so I'd have plenty of room to segregate downloads and installs of scenery, livery and other FS related items. I have some additional HDD's and SSD's (not NVMe) that I could possibly pull from an older computer. But, in reading various posts, I believe that FS will install certain files (all files?) to the C:\users\[username]\app data directory. Is this correct? If so, is that where the FS "community" folder resides (which I understand can be large)? Would this be different if during installation, the user selects a drive other than C:\ as the installation drive for FS2020. Just looking for some thoughts on the best way to set up and segregate directories FS uses to be away from the system OS to the maximum extent possible. Of course, I am hoping that installing to a non-default directory would not adversely affect the ability to install future FS updates. If FS2020 and its updates can't deal well with a non-default installation location, I'd like to hear about that before I start the system build. Thanks for any help on this.

jimmci, I have read a number of posts about the 49 inch Samsung G9 curved monitor having flickering issues when used in sync (VRR) mode (GSync) at high resolutions. Is that the monitor you have, and if so have you had problems with it? I'm considering the Samsung G9 49" curved monitor or maybe an LG 55" OLED flat TV. They're close in price. Hopefully, I don't get a spousal veto!

OK, thanks, KiloWatt. Nice screenshots. I'm still wondering if any vertical space is cut out with ultra-wide monitors.

I am in the process of researching and buying hardware for a new Windows build to be used almost exclusively for FS2020. I am wondering about how ultra-wide displays work to display FS content. If I consider a flat, 16:9 display to be "normal" and capable of displaying the full intended content of FS, how does an ultra-wide monitor with 21:9 or more ratio display content? Is the normal content stretched to fill the screen? Are the top and bottom of the 16:9 image cut off, leaving a shorter, wider image that can be scaled to the display size? I see some 49" ultra-wides for sale with 32:9 ratios. Would these in effect show only a narrow ribbon of the full vertical image, again with top and bottom cut off? Just wondering how this works. I am certainly no display expert. What I am trying to figure out is whether with an ultra-wide display in cockpit view showing the instruments, the remaining view out the windshield is reduced to a very small image. And whether there is really enough vertical screen space to show both instruments and a decent view out the windshield. I understand that FS2020 does not support multiple monitors. So it would not be possible to have a second monitor just displaying the instrument panel, correct? Thanks for any info/guidance.
