Hi there, I have a question, how can I move the Sim to another Drive without using the Move Command?

At the moment I have the sim on C drive. I would like to move it to the D Drive, which is the faster SSD Drive.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Me personally I used the move option. There is a method of copying the folder then editing the cfg file to point it to the new drive. Maybe someone who gone that route could chime in.

If it were X-Plane just copy and paste the thing and it will work itself out.

Done it more than once.

I did it a while back by cloning the drive with macrium reflect. I had to run a repair after but it only took a few minutes. Has run flawlessly for several months since.

Just move the directory with the community and official folders in it. That’s the sim.

After you move the files, be sure to edit the UserCfg.opt file.

Easy peasy.
