  1. Whatever folder Orbx scenery installs to should be in your Addons Folder. If it installs straight in to your Community Folder just move it to your Addons folder. If you have setup Linker correctly it already knows to look in your addons folder (where you have placed your Orbx Scenery) and then when you tick that addon in the linker the app creates a shortcut and places it in to your Community Folder. Having a shortcut in your Community Folder "tells" MSFS what to load at startup.
  2. Hi Rob, you should not get CTD from loading a few sceneries. i.e. if you were doing a cross country vfr flight stopping at say 5 airfields you should be able to safely load all those airfields without any CTD. It might depend on the type of addon. I find that nearly all older Mesh or LOD type addons can cause my system to CTD so it is important to check that those types of addons especially are compatible with the latest MSFS2020 update.
  3. Ok, sorry Doc_Z I misunderstood your issue. If you know how it works then you should already be able to answer your own query😉 Yes move any folders that are not shortcuts created by the linker across to your Addons folder (or whatever sub-folders you have made therein).
  4. You do not do any manual moving yourself. You "tell" the app the path to the community folder and "tell" it the path to your Addon folder and the app does the rest. When you open the app it immediately looks at your Addon Folder and activates everything so in my case I then untick everything I do not need for a particular flight which cuts down load times dramatically. Once I have done this the app willonly automatically activate new addons. In my Addon folder I have created separate folders for particuar addons. In my case four fiolders titled Full Aircraft, Liveries, Scenery and Utilities and the app picks them up from the link you made to the main Addon Folder you created. The app is very intuitive. You can create any folders you want in the Addon Folder i.e. in your case you might have a folder titles Orbx TE and another Orbx extras etc etc whatever you want. This has either helped or totally confused you😄
  5. "Bassman" self explanatory I should think😉 and nothing to do with fish!
  6. Unless you want to spend the majority of your time going inside terminals and "driving" around, there is a very good YMML (updated Oct 2022) on a well known MSFS freeware site from which you can do realistic taxiing, departing and arrivals.
  7. Sorry I don't know what it looks like in FSX but I would be interested in seeing some screenies of your MD500E setup?
  8. Hi Sniper, we too have a Defence Force unit whose job it is to identify remains of servicemen and women and they we are also still recovering bodies from all theatres both WW1 and WW2; this is where family DNA has proven to be invaluable. With a DNA data Base whenever remains are located most times they can be identified. Science is a wonderful thing bringing closure to many families.
  9. I am lucky, my grand father made it back from France in 1917 albeit with trench foot. Got married had six sons and two daughters which is why I am here
  10. There is no one corner where all four named states meet. There is one corner where NT, SA and Qld meet and another corner where SA, Qld and NSW meet.
  11. Actually I find Meribel (LFKX) a more difficult landing as I sometimes find it difficult to locate the runway. It's a great region to fly in.
  12. Sort of related, but within time constraints mentioned is it possible to totally delete a post rather than editing with blanks. Many forums have this function.
  13. Once you get sorted I strongly recommend the following app from Flightsim.to MSFS Addons Linker makes organising and managing all your addons from a different drive or storage point with ease. There is also a tutorial Tutorial but all you really have to do is tell the app where your addons are stored and where your Community Folder is and the app does the rest. Big benefit is game starting time if you have lots of addons. i.e. I have every addon for Australia which if everything was active takes ages to load so before I do a flight I just check/tick the scenery that I want and then when finished or when starting a new flight somewhere else I just untick addon I do not want. I have even saved my scenery in separate country folders so I can locate scenery easily. Anyway just FYI. Cheers
  14. Yes, Vancouver for instance looks like melted butter but then so does so much MSFS2020 city sceneries not just in Canada. Tried to taxi my 172 float plane up to the Vancouver Harbour Seaplane Base..not a pretty sight
  15. What's with "This video is private" on a member forum? The bottom right arrow does take one to Utube pages though???
  16. Both systems have Liquid CPU cooling which is definitely a postive.
  17. I am not a monarchist however I am an Elizabethan. She did her job well and was a steadying influence in UK life. RIP Queen Elizabeth. Now if the media would just leave the boys alone instead of blowing family issues out of all proportion just to sell magazines.
  18. ..and as we all know everything painted red goes faster!!!
  19. To locate seaplane bases inP3D, P3D5, X-Plane and MSFS I installed Plan-G (freeware), built the relevant data base for each sim and then under the Map heading I limited the search (top left hand side) to FloatPlane Bases. Then in the map view you should see all the available bases at Zoom 9 (bottom left hand corner). If not visible just zoom in or out until they are.
  20. I might try taxing thru the tunnel
  21. I have just tried the Jeppeson one and where it starts using either "runway 01" or "runway 02" or "Parking" is terrible although you can start the aircraft and fly "out" of the mess into the countryside and then come back to the tunnel entrance. It is so terrible, for me anyway, that I will not be using it. I will now try the publicisar version and see how it goes. Ok, the publicisar one works fine (for me) but good luck doing this flight, I can't even make it to the tunnel entrance in the Extra yet
  22. Quick note, this is all for use in MSFS2020 !!!Just in case I have missed something
  23. I am not sure I am allowed to post a link but here goes (if not allowed I am sure that admin will remove) Two versions available. Catalca Tunnels by Jeppeson2001 or Catalca Tunnels by publicesar Do not use parking as a start it is a mess for me. NB: Each version has it's own different fictional ICAO.
  24. Personally (subjective of course) the addon by Jeppeson2001 which has 2 x "runways" and an ICAO C4TA is the one I would choose. Of course the ICAO will not work until the addon is installed.
