woodsglen Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I just got through a nightmare after a several month "leave" flying. I think between that time I had done some house keeping and set up a "limited user account" ( DCS already installed ).... and started using a large HD for other programs and not my SSD. I cleaned up a lot of stuff because my son decided that because he could use my flight Sims on "MY" computer with a 3 Mon setup , that he could just load steam and load up all of his 1st person shooters, etc. and sit in my office and spend the rest of his life there. That got very old very quick! So, I deleted 10's of gigs of stuff from my SSD and cleaned house. I made a limited user account for "online" - so computer would not be in full access mode. So.. the real question is: Would Flying and running DCS world from limited user account have any impact on running DCS in full admin account? I didn't know if this was something to stay away from due to hardware profiles, and transition from one account mode to another. Everything works now but it involved deleting DCS folder from saved games, and finally re-installing thrustmaster drivers ( and did a firmware update while i was at it. ) Just Curious!... I hope not to have spend almost three days sorting this kind of stuff out again. In some ways using the other limited user account might be easier ( no PW) ( but then IIRC I think I have to start TIR manually AS Administrator, In full admin account I have trackIR start on startup. Maybe that was intended for flying - I really don't remember. Adult Flight Sims and teenagers on Steam just don't seem to mix very well! Thanks. WG
