Hi,
is it possible to move the whole DCS stuff into another directory without reinstalling it? (bought an SSD recently)
Thanks in advance.

There are programs that will temporarily shuffle your game files onto an SSD and then do a special link to it so the SSD is providing the file stream.

You should be able to accomplish a "manual transplant" by substituting all the registry paths. That's a big if though with the complex nature of the software (especially the copy protection).

Thanks, will check it out, but a reinstall looks less risky based on your comment.
