This post will be dedicated for those of us who are interesting in multiple installs to be able to fly in different Theater and in different Era through individuals CFS2 installs.
If have ever wonder and wanted to fly in the Pacific Theater and ETO.Med,Estern Front, CBI,Korea, WWI through independed CFS2 install"s you should read this post.
Having one install to represent all of Theaters and Era of flight in one install could potentialy create problems for you because of all the clutter in that one Install.
Its better to have different install for different Theater of war or Era of flight you are interested in flying in!
Option one
First of all Install CFS2.
Now look for the CFS2 Folder install inside your PC like this:
1.Go to My Computer
2.Local Disc C
3.Program Files
4.Microsoft games
3.Combat flight Simulator 2
Now change the name of the folder that contain the name Combat flight Simulator 2 to ETO as a example.
Now you can Install CFS2 again and repeat this process again until you have all the Install you need or want.
This way you will have multiple installs of CFS2 for you convinience to fly in.
Option two
You follow the same sequence as before.
First of all Install CFS2.
Now look for the CFS2 Folder install inside your PC like this:
1.Go to My Computer
2.Local Disc C
3.Program Files
4.Microsoft games
3.Combat flight Simulator 2
Now change the name of the folder that contain the name Combat flight Simulator 2 to ETO as a example.
Now instead of using CFS2 CD"s for a new install you just make a new folder with the Name of the Era or Theater you want to fly in and copy the content from the original CFS2 install and paste it into the new Folder name after the new Theater you want to fly in.
Now you can add all the sceneries and AC plus effect appropiate to that Era or Theater as you like.
Its realy that easy!
PS a word of warnning. Make a secound copy if possible of all your new Thearter CFS2 installs just in case something goes wrong you can always fix it with your back up!
I also recommend for you to install Acman from this Website that will anable you to install most if not all this planes in different Hangars and in different CFS2 Installs.

When you use the Acman and create a new Hangar you need to include the stock planes. What you can do is to make a New Folder and place a copy of the Stock planes in it. When you make the new Hangar just copy the stock planes from this Folder. Remember also that you are limit to 95 to 100 planes per Hangar. You do get up to18 Hangar with this program.
My secound recommendation is for you to install this utility from Sim-outhouse that will allow you to change planes and ships with in a Mission and Campaigns in secounds.
It also will give the ability to change whole planes Hangars and convert them into Ai Bandits in Quick mission.
This way you do not have activate plane after planes manualy. Its call mk_cfs2_uti2v.zip
