Hmm well I almost have the same setup as him take a look at my signature, I'm going to install FSX on my SSD and Win7 on my 1TB. My SSD is a ton load faster than my HDD.

Could you or someone explain how( or direct me to a tutorial) on how to put FSX on SSD,and WIN7 and other stuff on the HDD?My Velicoraptor is almost full. Thanks!

Yikes!Fantastic to see some shots of the about to be released a/c.I just find it fascinating that people have so much time to sit there and pick apart every itty-bitty little detail of every shot that is realeased - must drive those at PMDG crazy to have to respond to so many questions!Sort of reminds me back here in West Oz how us Aussies pull apart every damn cricket match over the 4 or 5 days it runs - or the footy matches in winter where every detail is discussed ad-infinitum.Me? I just take it as it comes, got some very enjoyable planes to fly on FSX while waiting... if anyone wants an aircraft that is challenging and complex to fly, go and buy a copy of the FA-18F Hornet (Superbug) from VRS - the 350 page manual did my head in!, that should keep you all busy whilst awaiting the hard working blokes at PMDG to release their latest offering.Just my take on it all.Cheers 'n beers 'n a Happy New YearDavidPerth, WA.

You didn't watch the YT video linked in the first post of this thread, did you? :( Go watch it and you'll have your answer.

We'll make it easy for you and post the link again. This video was taken using TrackIR.

Well the SSD is still alot faster but after looking on the web and finding this post I don't know what my 30GB SSD will be used for we'll see when my computer gets here (pray's next week)......you should look at this link if you haven't already http://forum.avsim.n...ell-a-good-ssd/ . Also I'm up for any suggestions to what I should do with my 30GB SSD.

You want Windows on the SSD, trust me. That's part of the entire reason for getting an SSD, so that the OS is there and nothing has to wait to load during boot, when accessing things that need Windows files etc.

Well to late for that now I thought win7 would be too big for the 30GB but i realized after i ordered that its only like 5GBs, oh well lol can't wait for you to release the NGX I want to see how it does on my PC.

does a SSD make much differance? with fsx?

Not to mention the huge increase in overall system responsiveness when just doing normal tasks in Windows etc. You basically never have to wait for anything to load.

What's the advantage of having one win7 instalation only for fsx?Does it realy improve performance?Thanks in advance.

It improves windows loading times, fsx performance is not really apparant.. processing power gets you perf on FSX not SSD

The reason I do that, is because my PC is used for quite a lot of stuff, photoshop stuff/work stuff on office, various other applications for network and web stuff, having many of these installed often means they have some form of backgroud task running, along with virus software slowing system down etc, and the fact that they then all slowly frag the drive up. So by having windows 7 on soley for FSX means it doesnt have any junk running in the background which may be taking some CPU power or ram away from FSX. I also run it without all the pretty aero stuff etc, as all the PC does is boot up and run FSX, all my other software I need for FSX is running from a second PC over a network.

Sorry for my bad EnglishNeedless to defend PMDG. It is true that PMDG did a good job but "coming 2010"means "coming 2010"!If PMDG did not able to do before the end of 2010, in which case he should not write"coming 2010", and certainly not replace it with "Coming SOON!" giving even morehope! (Christmas, New Year)I always was patient, I asked for any info on the release date.But when information is posted on the official site, I'm sorry but the question is quitenormal.Besides her I would continue to wait, and I would buy it the day it comes out, if I still herethe FSX.I hope the team what PMDG show understanding of it.Sorry for my bad English, I'm french.

Some people are unreal!

Just think, we are gonna have to go thru all this again before the release of the tripple 7!!! Not looking forward to it (thee when, when)!:(

An interesting idea James - can you have two versions of the same W7 disk on one computer or are you doing everything else under XP/Vista? Would be handy to have W7 and FSX on my RAID 0 then all my other stuff on a separate HD with its own W7 but is it allowed/possible?
