So...I just got a new computer, but they didn't transfer over the actual FSX program so I'll have to reinstall it. However, they transferred ALL of the other files (Routes, Aircraft, Etc) When I reinstall FSX, will it automaticall sync together or what do I do? Thanks!

The way I understand it, you will need to install FSX, and then re-install all of you addons; aircraft, scenery etc. When you install addons, they "look" for the FSX installation, you can't make it work the other way around.

If it's the same FSX program, it should install with no hitches. If you're installing a new version of FSX, you would have to go through your system and delete every FSX-related file.

I would just reinstall everything, FSX is already an unstable program.. you don't want to start throwing in mismatched files or missing files.
