great_western Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I installed Orbx Central with the intent of trying the X-Plane demos a while ago. For some reason I could not see X-Plane as an option (even when I selected the option that allows you to locate your sim) so I decided to set it up for FSX first with the hope that later it will allow me to also install addons for X-Plane. However, I have found no such option and the drop down list that is supposed to show all the available sims does not work because I have X-Plane installed on a different disk. Furthermore, when I reinstall Orbx Central, it remembers that I have selected FSX as my simulator and whatever I do, it seems I can't change this option.

Nick Cooper Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hello, welcome to the forums. Orbx Central looks for C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local\x-plane_install_11.txt. That text file must contain the exact path to your X Plane 11 root folder and that folder must contain a copy of X-Plane.exe. It also looks at the admin appdata folder, so if you are not logged on as an admin, you may need to add a copy of x-plane_install_11.txt to the admin appdata\Local folder.

great_western Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Thanks for the welcome and the quick response! I changed the text file on the admin account which was set to an older install of X-Plane - I updated it to the new one and now everything works great! Thanks once again!

JW Johnson Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 What would be the proper labeling of Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 - MSFS 2020? I have unfortunately the same problem, only X-Plane is the default and MSFS 2020 is not recognized. Thank you, JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
