Adding 32bit Version

[doright]

I've had the 64bit version up and running, but would like to use FreeTrack so I need to install the 32bit version. Do I need to:

 

1. Backup pilot and control profiles (how?)

2. De-activate

3. Uninstall

4. Re-install with 32bit setup checked.

5. Apply TrackIRFixer to 32bit version

 

Or hopefully there is an easier way.

If you did not install 32-bit originally, you will need to reinstall, afaik.

 

There's no wrapper you can use?

(Or just spend the money for a TrackIR kit and spend the hours of tweaking with playing... :P )

No need to deactivate the game. You could probably copy the whole game folder, uninstall, install with 32bit and copy all the content back. I'm 99% sure it should work.

Ah, yes, good point and I overlooked that: indeed there is no need to deactivate.

I think all your settings / pilots are stored somewhere in the users folder and not the installation directory, so you shouldn't need to backup anything.

I think all your settings / pilots are stored somewhere in the users folder (..)

In Users/User Name/Saved Games.

Thanks all. The deed is accomplished.

I did not have to re-activate on the reinstall. Thanks for that.

 

I killed off my proto-pilot since he had more crashes then landings anyhow. That smacking into the mountain while head down entering 9 line data was a real wakeup call.

I thought the tweaking was part of playing.

I also don't deal with companies who's idea of competition is lawyer based instead of value and innovation use. That's also why I don't buy MonsterCable's overpriced stuff.
