Hello,

I would like to install your test version on a new computer to see if performances are ok.

C: drive is fast (SSD) but unfortunately rather small (128Gb with only 75 free).

d: drive is slower (standard disk 5400 rpm) but has 1Tb free

So the question is (are ?)

- should I install on d: ?

- If installation on c: is mandatory how much space would take versoin 11 with europe countries scenery ?

 

I am running win 10 and would install after test a digital download. Computer is Asus F753 (i7 + nvidia 1050)

Thanking you in advance for your cooperation

Best regards

jc

I am no expert but I would assume the slowness of the drive won't really affect the game. I would install on D: drive for more space because it runs out quickly on the C: Drive. The computer specs drive the game, not so much the Drive itself. If I am wrong, please correct me. Thanks.

By default, X‑Plane will install to the Desktop. Though it can be installed elsewhere (by clicking the Change Destination button), it is strongly recommended that it be placed on the Desktop so that the folder can be found in the future, and so it has correct permission settings. Check destination folder with read/write permissions.
