Hi thank you . the sim works great! I have active sky next which is my first hurdle. So when installing activesky directs me to locate prepar3d application data which i've done to no avail. I'm not sure if i have to load everything on the drive with my OS. Or if there is a program i saw called Shell or something that provides a link or shortcut between my HDD and SSD or if everything including OS should be on the SSD. At this point i'm reaching out to everyone for help before i do a fresh reload of windows and start all over which would really hurt my moral.
