| I now believe that my FSX is a soup sandwhich. I am going to re-install this weekend. I want to back up my B 727 and C 130 files and install them once again in FSX. Once I have copied the folders how do I re-install them? Is there an installation program in the folders? |
To back up my files in FSX, I put them in zip files. I structure the folders in the zip file like they are in FSX (see image for how I did it for the C130).
To replace them after reinstall FSX and the C130 (or after just reinstalling the C130) I extract to FSX root folder, when asked to overwrite, I say yes.
In those folders, I have backup original unmodified files and my modified files (usually the CFG's) and nothing more than that except maybe additional liveries so I DON'T have to redo adding the liveries after reinstalling everything!
Hope this helps.

Note: In the Captain_Sim\130 folder is another folder name manuals (I extract the PDF manual(s) in there), nothing else is in there because I never modified any of the files in there.
