Just remember to do a good defrag of the HD.
By remote hardrive do you mean external (outside of the computer)?

I would imagine that the data transfer speed of an external drive would hinder performance. Why not put on on your main hard drive? No reason why FS9 and FSX won't co-exist. They do on mine and many others'.

Just don't install it in \program files !! smile.gif

Install it into c:\fsx and it will exist quite happily next to fs9 (which should be in c:\fs9). Works great for me smile.gif
