Hi all,

Couple of questions regarding installations.

My install of Jane's F-18 on Windows 7 is in the /Program Files directory [not /Program Files (x86)]. Everything works fine and has for the last few years. Would their be any difference if it was in the /Program Files(x86) directory?

Second question is that I want to reinstall F-18 - can I have a second install of it and leave the one I already have? ie can I have 2 installs of F-18?

Reason is I want to do this is to have a clean install using the one click updater" so I can try some online multiplayer, but I don't want to mess up my working install.

Regards,


mdwa

I had a second install in a different folder. Now it is on a portable drive to save disk space. Runs fine. Just be sure when you patch, the patch goes to the right install.

Thanks Dragon, will give it a go and report results.

BTW do you guys still fly online? Is it only Sun nights (Mon mornings here) or do you fly other times?

So I completed the second install. I couldn't do it from the original CD because it detected that I already had F-18 installed but I used the full install from http://www.vfa-41.net/FA-18_Utilities.php and installed it to a new directory - all looks great and works well!

What's the go with mods such as skins, explosions/AB/flares enhancements, landpal etc and multiplayer - do they interfere?

I have them all set up with JSGME so can add or remove them anytime which is useful.

Keen for some online missions if anyone is interested...
