An FSX re-install is in my near future. I installed CFS 3 this weekend. I knew I hadn't liked it but couldn't remember why. After about 10 minutes, I realized why and uninstalled it. It must have taken stuff from FSX with it because when I tried to run FSX, I got the dreaded "Fatal Error" message.
I tried all the usual, removing logbook.bin, removing FSX.cfg, running the TweakFS registry utility. Nothing helped. Finally ran a repair from the Acceleration disc and that didn't help either. I get the splash screen for about a minute, then the fatal error message.
Here's the real point of my post. I'm thinking of leaving my old install intact and renaming FSX.EXE, then making a new install. I'll re-install all my payware over time, but I'd like to have the old install to copy over certain things like AI planes and traffic files, repaints, etc.
Does this sound like a viable plan? Any tips or advice would be appreciated.
