Jon Clarke Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 If all your scenery is installed into the XP Directory rather than in any self created library outside of the XP Directory, then all the contents of your Custom Scenery will be transferred over via the copy/paste.

TopHeavy Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Thank you for this . All my Xplane is in one folder , I wouldn’t know how to do anything else for fear of messing my pc up , Basically I purchase then leave everything to X-Plane and Orbx thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat_1952 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Since this is similar (somewhat) to my question, I'll post it here. My XPlane folder needs to remain where it is but all the ORBX scenery I have which is on the same SSD drive but in a different folder (separate library with pointers in the Scenery.ini file). I need to move the entire ORBX scenery to a different drive. If I just cut and paste the ORBX library folder to the other drive, the pointers in the Scenery.ini file will no longer be correct. If is change the folder name to the new location in the ORBX Central Settings, will that correct the issue? Or, if I just change the location in the ORBX Central Settings to the new location, will that automatically move all the existing scenery? Thanks!

Denny Knepper Newville, PA USA Please see this guide to answer your question: Moving a library to another location Moving a library is painless with Central and can be achieved in a few steps only: Go to Settings > Libraries. Note the directory of the library you’d like to move. Remove the library that you would like to move (remember: this doesn’t delete the actual files). Close Central by right-clicking on the tray and selecting “quit”. Move the directory to the new location in your operating system. This step may take a while depending on your disk speed. Start Central again Open Settings, and then the Libraries page Press ‘Create New Library’ Select the new library location, give it a name and then press ‘Save’. Central will automatically scan the library for installed products, and then configure your simulators appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
