rcburse Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I have xplane 11 latest update 11.32. I installed TE GB Central and South last month. Since then there was some updates which I wanted to install, went on FTX Central, but it didn't recognize that my products were installed. But they are installed and work fine. Possible explanation: I have the scenery installed on an external hard drive with a short cut link to the main XP drive custom scenery folder. If that is why it's not recognizing the installation, what should I do? I didn't want to have to reinstall as that takes a couple hours. Any help is Greatly Appreciated.

Nick Cooper Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hello, welcome to the forums. FTX Central cannot see shortcuts but it can see symbolic links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcburse Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 How should I go about updating the scenery? Move the scenery back to xplane custom scenery folder then update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hello, you could do that, or you could use symbolic links instead of shortcuts to link it back to the Custom Scenery folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to use symbolic links. Can you point me to instructions? Are symbolic links better from a performance standpoint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
