	Hi guys, As you may know, I'm looking for a new computer for FSX. And I'm curious to know if it's possible to move FSX from my current laptop, to my new purchase, and how I could do this. Let me know! Thanks

	NO MAN! wrong smiles!!! Look at it in another perspective: fresh install of fsx and addons will work flawlessly! so you'll enjoy it much more! So change smiles to something like this "" , install new stuff, and you'll get this - " "

	NNewcomb, First you must uninstall FS from the old computer, and then install it on your new one. During registration process, when entering key product, MS knows when you are trying to install FS on more than one PC. Don't forget to backup [Logbook.BIN] file (Start > Documents > Flight Sinulator X Files > Logbook.BIN) to avoid losing your flight hours and awards earned. After installing, paste saved [Logbook.BIN] file on new [Flight Simulator X Files]. Pinatubo.

	when you uninstall FSX, it leaves any changed files, or things you have added, behind in the FSX root folder. Then just save them on an external drive and place them in their respective folders. Worked for me! Then you just have to install FSX. I also recommend a fresh install of the CS aircraft (if you want to have the saved flights working).

SO I had to delete it � I use a logbook repair utility that fixes the logbook, but usually with the loss of only the last few flights. The program is called logbook editor. Here is a little bit of info from the readme.txt file: This software is a graphical editor of Flight Simulator X logbook files. It can modify fields not editable within FSX (including fligt durations) and repair broken logbooks. It can also export logbook to HTML or excel-compatibles files. It is the second last item on this page at Simviation: http://www.simviation.com/fsxmisc1.htm. I highly recommend it. The version I am using is 0.3 and I'm not sure if there is a later version available. Mark
