jorgen.s.andersen Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I know that several forum users have FSX and FSX:SE on the same computer. I am thinking about getting that also, but would like to know first what the possible pitfalls and problems are, and in general what kind of experience people have had with such a setup. I would imagine that having the sims on 2 different drives would be a "Good Thingâ„¢"!!! Thanks for any input - Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drobson Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I have both on the same drive, with no problems. They coexist peacefully. Darrell [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Thanks, Darrell! An old fuddy-duddy like me might want them on different drives so even I myself will know the difference. But good to know they behave together.

loki Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 You can install both but must install FSX Gold first and FSX Steam second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llivaudais Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 shortly before I built this machine I had disk and SE versions on the same OS and same drive; I had no issues. The biggest benefit I did see was sharing most of my scenery - gigs and gigs of photo textures, terrain mesh. I still share scenery between FSX and P3d but I've moved my SE install over to the Win10 drive so the issue is now moot for me... actually the two OS's share the scenery drive.

johncott Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I has FSX Gold edition then added FSX:SE on the same computer and had a few addons that would not work with FSX:SE. This was on a machine that started as a Windows 7 and was upgraded to Windows 10 when Microsoft did the free upgrade. Decided to go back to Windows 7 and after a clean Windows 7 install, just went with FSX:SE and the few addons that would not work with both FSX versions worked ok with just FSX:SE installed. John C.
