Doing A Clean Install

[GhostDog]

I have, like most others, fooled around with Loman, edited cfg files and generally been making quite a mess of things.

When the patch hits the streets (if thats what patches do) i will want to do a clean install to make sure that i don't carry over unneccesary junk or "tweaks" that hampers more than they help.

 

My purpose with this post is to make a quick check list on which files to back up before such an operation and i thought some of you might be able to chip in with some helpful tips. So here it goes:

 

 

1: backup "INPUT" folder. This folder contains your profiles for joystick, rudders and keyboards. it would be quite annoying to go through tthe routine of setting everything up all over

 

2: backup any missions that you have created or edited yourself

 

3: backup your "pilotlogbook" folder

 

4: backup your "ScreenShots" folder

 

 

thats what i have so far...Any other missions, mods or skins you from others could be backed up if you dont allready have a copy in a seperate location. Otherwise they should probably still be available for download here or where you got them in the first place.

 

I would copy back the backed up files after a clean install but BEFORE any patching is done as the patch might need acces to certain files.

 

If anyone has any comments, hints or tips on this please post a reply
