Got through to "Create a new Steam Library on a different drive", but when I go to do that, it only shows me the drive that Steam is currently on.
So I am stuck, can't see the other drive that I want to move it all to.
Any thoughts ?

In the upper left corner of your Steam Library click "Steam" then 'Settings" then on the new box that opens, choose "Downloads" then click on "Steam Library Folders"

You will then have the option to create a new Steam library folder on a different drive.

Once that is complete, return to the Steam library, then right click on the game you want to move and choose "Properties"

Under "properties" choose "Local Files" and then choose "Move Install Folder"

Choose your newly created folder and Click "Move Folder"

Done.

Ok
Thanks
Out of curiosity, will that also move the Orbx/AFS 2 Lowi I installed the other day?

I want to move AFS 2 off a hard drive to a new SSD.
What's the best way to do that?
Delete current & download again?

Not sure how to run the Steam File Integrity check, but FS2 starts up & is running ok now after:

Installed GeForce Driver v382.23 & some Win7 updates.
Noticed after that that Aerofly_FS_2.exe was showing as 6/1/17, 7,231 KB, so somewhere in all of the updating the .exe changed.

Sys: i5 4690k @ 3.50 GHZ; 8.0 GB RAM; Nvidia Ge Force GTX 1060 6GB

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Jeff
Not using VR.
Will check the GPU driver situation & find the specs & do some more digging around/ testing.

From bin64 I ran aerofly_fs_2.exe. (5/13/2017, 7,303 KB)

It went into a cycle of showing a small black screen with wording "Aerofly is Starting", that lasts about 4 seconds then disappears.
Then re-appears, the disappears & then comes back - - I let it run 30 minutes in case there was a major D/Load going on, but have come to the conclusion it is stuck in a"loop"

All was ok until I installed the other FSim, & Steam got in the middle of everything.

Incidentally, the other FSim is crashing the PC after about 5 minutes of operating.
Perhaps I should have stuck to AFS2.:)
Any help appreciated.

I had AFS 2 running ok then added via Steam another Flight Sim that was recently released.

When I open Steam I can see both Flight Sims with the option to start either.

However, AFS 2 won't start now, the other one will.

Can I uninstall AFS 2 & D/Load it again & reinstall to see if that clears things up?

Thanks

Had done a restart, no effect.
Shut PC down completely & went back an hour later. This time it started ok.
If I had to guess what the issue was I suspect it was something to do with Steam getting in the middle of the opening process, looking for a wifi connection, which has been slow this morning.
Had a look at NYC. Very impressive set of skyscrapers.

Went to open FS 2 this morning by clicking on PC home page FS 2 Icon.
Normally the blue screen with all the FS 2 choices would come up, but this morning I got a small black screen in the center of the home page saying that FS 2 was opening.
Then that screen would disappear after about 3 seconds, then reappear - & keep on with this "blinking" cycle.
Any thoughts on how to fix it, make FS 2 open?:confused:
Thanks
