Reinstalling X-Plane


Recommended Posts

Posted

My X-Plane installation has stopped working completely, so I plan to do a fresh install because I haven't done so in a while.

 

I was wondering if there was anything I should take into account, as I have Orbx True Earth GB South, and I'd rather not have to install it all over again too. I have X-Plane 11 on Steam. Will it automatically recognise the new install, and is there anything I shouldn't touch (in particular, can I delete the plugins and aircraft folder for the fresh install)?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

I suggest that you move your Custom Scenery folder to a safe place on the same drive as your XP but out of the current XP directory.

XP will install another blank Custom Scenery folder which you can then delete and replace it with your current but moved Custom Scenery folder.

This will save you having to reinstall all your addons. I also suggest you can do the same with your Aircraft, Airfoils and Plugin folders. Then when the new XP is installed you can drag and drop planes, airfoils and plugins that you want o keep by dropping them into the new folders that XP will have installed.
