sailbutc310 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I upgraded my computer with a new solid state hard drive to run windows 7 operating system. I also had to re-install the Windows operating system from its original disk into the new drive, but now I find I have to re-install all my Microsoft flight simulator programs including all my Orbtx downloads and aircraft and other programs that I had in it all over again. Where to start? Is this like starting over again with a new computer ? since the new install my old drive C is now Drive E I'm wondering will my Orbtx programs reload properly? sailbuth310 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 If you're starting from a fresh install of Windows, it should be fairly straightforward. First make sure you have the most recent installers from FSS as many now contain all available patches. From the look of it you have Australia, NA, NZ, EU, and the Global products so I would recommend you install in the following order: -Australia SP4, followed by any Australia airports -NA regions, followed by their airports -NZ, followed by airports -EU, followed by airports -Global products And wrap it all up with the libraries to get everything in sync. If you come across any issues or errors just let us know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobdeVries Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Darn I started with the global products. And I'm about to start with AUS. So that won't work than? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLonger Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Darn I started with the global products. And I'm about to start with AUS. So that won't work than? It will work. There is no mandatory order: the list that Alex posted simply helps you to not forget anything, but if you want to, you can install everything in any order you want. Just make sure that the right regions are active when you install certain add ons and specially updates. (Simply READ the readme's! ). And when you are done installing, install the latest library! People usually don't buy add ons in a specific order and so they also don't install them in a specific order. Just pick any order you want. I personally would also start with the Global stuff, then the regions and then the airports. But do whatever you like! Sometimes things can be refreshingly simple! Alex's advice to download the latest installer is a good one though: that may save you having to install a load of patches because quite a few installers have been updated to include all updates.

Alex Goff Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 That's correct, there used to be much more of a mandatory installation order but since all of the installers have been updated the order does not matter so much anymore. The best guideline would be to install would area at a time, for example EU and all airports at once. Or all the Global products at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
