Please re-read my last sentence:


--- Quote ---The suggested location is FINE, unless you don't have enough space on C: Installing on another drive is perfectly fine too, installing INTO the sim, it's probably the worse choice.
--- End quote ---

So, again, if you don't have enough space on C:, which seems to assume you have another drive, you should simply install into the root folder of it, OUTSIDE the sim. D:\Addon Manager, for example, it's perfectly fine.


--- Quote ---What issues can this cause.
--- End quote ---

Permission issues, for example, and in general an easier way of uninstalling, if you don't install into the sim.

Thanks for your advice, I am learning something every time.

Now I understand what you mean about installing outside the FSX Sim.

A couple of further questions,

After installing the new manager I tested all the FSDT airports and only Kiah came up as being outdated.

To update I have first to unstall using the Add/Remove programme.

As KIAH is the only one not updated can I avoid un(re)installation of the other FSDT airports.

If I do not do anything with the other airports do I still need to say  yes to the Manager & Coualt delete message.

Also I will be removing the last FlightBeam scenery of KPHX at the same time following the method shown on the FB forum.

Which is why I said:


--- Quote ---Reinstall all the FSDT sceneries, using ONLY the current version of the installers. DO NOT install with older installers.
--- End quote ---

If the Addon Manager says KIAH is outdated, then it's outdated so, of course, the solution is to reinstall it using the current version of the installer.

If I remove the Addon Manager, which due to my mistake is in the SIM, as you mentioned will I be able to put the new Addon Manager outside the Sim

without any creating issues, for example any files which remain etc.

I am also migrating the FlightBeam file KPHX, according to the FlightBeam method I need to disable the scenery in the FSX Sim Addon manager then

remove the scenery from the Windows Add/On programme.

Is this the same method for FSDT.

Just follow the instructions in my first post, they already covered up everything you needed to do. I'll repeat them again here:

- Uninstall everything, both FSDT and Flightbeam. Reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?"

- Reinstall all the FSDT sceneries, using ONLY the current version of the installers. DO NOT install with older installers.

- Reinstall all the Flightbeam sceneries, using ONLY the current version of the installers. DO NOT install with older installers.
