Want to install Persian Gulf Map on different hard drive.

Hi

I have DCS and Nevada already installed on my SSD.

However I can't fit the Persian Gulf on the SSD although I have 2 other SATA drives with enough space.

So 2 questions.

Can I install the PGM on one of my SATA drives and direct my main DCS game to look for it there and not on my SSD?

And will it perform ok being on the SATA drive as opposed to the SSD I use for all my other DCS stuff?

Thanks

You cant directly install a part of DCS on another drive, however, existing parts of DCS can be moved to another drive and linked using the Windows command: MKLINK /J

So, you could move Nevada, and then you will probably have enough space to install the PG map

And will it perform ok being on the SATA drive as opposed to the SSD I use for all my other DCS stuff?

It should work, but of course the performance wont be optimal .... in the end, the proper solution is to get a larger SSD.

You can just move the whole thing and not worry about symbolic link. It's just a matter of updating the shortcuts to point to a new drive.

I was trying to mantain as much of DCS as possible on the SSD drive .. rather than move the whole thing over to the regular HDD. This way I expect higher performance.

A larger SSD is the correct solution.

... only if you do have the money to purchase it :)

Yikes. I didn't realize the "target" was a magnetic HD. Yuck!

But SSD prices have plummeted these days.
