Second install SF Gold?

[ndicki 22]

Just reassure me before I click OK - the best way to set up a second install is simply to copy the contents of SFG root into another folder, and go from there? There aren't any CFS3 style "application data" style hidden traps for the unwary, are there? I want to separate the NATO/Warpac stuff from the IDF/Arabs.

But make sure you have enough space left on your harddrive!

After my 15th install, i noticed i was unable to install any addon aircraft, as my partition "Games" had only 2 MB left.

Oh, do I know the problem! And I've just looked - my SF install is 18GB! My (multiple) CFS3 installs are between 5 - 8 GB each, and I thought that was bad; I'm one of the Desert Rats team, developing the Mediterranean Air War add-on, and the Battle of France team too, so it all piles up and up... 18 GB, though, grief, it goes quickly! I only got the game at Christmas time!

 

I think I need another hard-drive...
