Airwolf Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Hi, A year ago, JV responded to my question in the LM portion of the site (looks like all got changed). He mentioned that Orbx will be using the new addon method of having the sceneries installed outside the root sim directory Any updates on that procedure? I am not asking for dates - just an idea that it will happen or not. It will be so much beneficial as P3D gets upgraded regularly and saves times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nick This would be for new products right? And what would happen to all old ones? Will they be moved automatically of will we requested to move them to a new position/root? Thanks Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Hello Carlos, I don't have the answer yet but I would assume that they could all be moved. Probably this would only be of value to those with either few products or a large amount of free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any products that you install into Prepar3D v4 using Central will be installed via an add-on package. There is a handy button that will migrate a product from your simulator root into a "library" (a custom install location): More detail will follow in an official announcement soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I was beta testing this when I had the time, but now will be patiently waiting for this release. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
