Then – if you want to reinstall your FSX you will just copy the contents of entire Effects folder to your new FSX installation. Alternatively you can create an Effects folder inside your Sceneries_Direct to keep copies of all effects. Keeping it saves me time when I reinstall my system or FSX.Ī note – if you have a folder like this (I called my Sceneries_Direct – for the direct installation of this sceneries) – do not add any sceneries that make you add files to “Effects” folder. This folder “lived through” several FSX installations. Which add-ons should you uninstall?ĭo not remove sceneries that you have added to your Scenery Library manually unless you think that the installer added some files to your core FSX folder (for example the installer can add something to the Effects folder).

Keep in mind that you (probably) have a very large hard drive – a few additional megabytes (or even gigabytes) will not make a difference. In doubt – just make a copy of the whole folder or simply rename it (it’s a good way to keep folders you intend to remove – rename them adding _backup to their name and leave them in the same location.
