MAXsenna Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Wondering can you install DCS on another drive excluding C drive ,and run all the programs needed within DCS The same as if they were on C driveLike already said. Yes. To have it run like it is on C, you need to use hardlinks/symbolic links. But that is NOT necessary. Just move your whole DCS install to the drive of your choice, and run it from there.

Jack Watts Posted October 9, 2020 Author Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Comfirm MAXsenna Want to make sure I’ve got this correct, When I download DCS to a Sata 3 - SSD additional internal drive, let’s say F Drive ! I don’t need to hard link – Symbolic Link to F Drive, DCS on F drive should run exactly the same as if it was on C Drive, is that correct ? By the way thank you for your help MAXsenna greatly appreciated. Thank you ! Edited October 9, 2020 by Jack Watts
Art-J Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 The Saved Games\DCS folder by default resides on system drive (you might need to tinker with symbolic links to move that one - IF you want or need to do it at all, that is), but the game folder itself can be located anywhere else on your computer. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

By the way thank you for your help MAXsenna greatly appreciated. Thank you !Yes! You don't even have to re-download. Just move your installation folders to F. Change the path for your shortcuts, and your good to go. (Better use Skatezilla's launcher of course). If you plan on using programs like VAICOM, you might want to change registry settings as well, but that's easy. As Art-J says, if you want to move your saved games folders, those hardlinks comes in handy. I run both stable and OB, and I share some of the Saved Games folders between them, like mods and input, missions etc. I then use hardlinks to folders on the same drive I have the core installs on.

NightHawk1867 Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Moving 'Saved Game' Folders Moving Saved Game Folders Hi, my question is similar. I was able to install DCS onto my D drive however the saved game folders were installed on C drive under users and I want to move them to the D drive. Can I simply copy and paste to the D drive the 'DCS' folder with sub folders from the C saved game folder and then delete the C drive folders? And DCS program will find them in the D drive. Thanks, Rick. :) ps saw the 'DCS updater GUI utility' post and reading that over now. 1 Canadian . DCS World Open Beta 2.7. Aircraft: Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 K-4 Kurfurst.

Rudel_chw Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 ... I was able to install DCS onto my D drive however the saved game folders were installed on C drive under users and I want to move them to the D drive. Can I simply copy and paste to the D drive the 'DCS' folder with sub folders from the C saved game folder and then delete the C drive folders? No, dont do that .. Saved Games is a special Windows folder, to move it: right click on it, then Properties, then Location. On my spanish windows it looks like this: You may need to manually create the destination folder, for example "D:\Saved Games" For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
