Parallel installation of addons for FS9 and FSX

Skybird · 09-30-11, 06:33 PM

I plan to get the wonderful PMDG 737NGX when the patched and complete package gets released on disc. In preparation of that, I took advantage of a -20% shop jubilee offer for FSX Gold and ordered it for 23 Euros, free shipping. Aerosoft currently offers all with prices 20% less.

I do not wish to get into the money-spending frenzy once again and do not plan, currently, to buy plenty of FSX addons. However, I have a fully modded installation of FS9, with several Aerosoft Mega Airprots, the German Airport series, some of these have both FS2004 and FSX versions on disc.

With the FS9-addons already entered in the registry database, can I nevertheless safely install these addons a second time for FSX, parallel to the FS9 installations of the very same addons?

I probably will also get the FSX Environment by Fight 1 sooner or later, having good looking clouds is important to me in a flight sim, but I am not sure what kind of package I should get for mesh improvements. Am I better off with Global X 2010, or with Flight 1's Ultimate Terrain series?

I am prioritizing to turn FSX into a PMDG-737 focussed solid sim, with good frames nevertheless, that'S another reason why I am hesitent to mod it as much as I have done with FS9. I know of Flusifix program. Any more basic tips for a FSX-starter?
