you can just cut and paste the DCS folder to the new location.

 

The only thing you need to do then is update any links on the desktop or start menu to point to the new location.

What does changing the registry PATH do? Both locations will run when I click on the respective DCS.exe files in the bin folder?

 

We used to do that to make other DCS installs on the PC "know" where the remaining ones are (so that during updates, they copy as many files from each other as possible and only downloading the rest). I believe nowadays one can do the same easier by editing one of the files in the main game folder, though I'm not at my PC and can't check its name now.

 

Saved Games always remain on the system drive.

 

Performance impact - none whatsoever on framerate obviously, but very noticeable on mission loading times and stutters.

Thanks all for that great info!

As mentioned I haven't seen any performance impact. Tonight I'll fly a more graphic intensive mission and see about stutters. What would be a good way to test for stutter?
