Guus7 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hi All, Is it mandatory to have ORBX-Scenery placed in the root dir of FSX (with Central ®)? Can I possibly use another dir ? My C: SSD drive is almost full and I would like to move ORBX-Scenery from C: \ FSX \ORBX\ *. * To another (slower non-SSD drive). Who gives me the answer! Greetings, Guus.

Guus7 Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Thank you Nick for this detailed explanation! I will study it and leave the FSX option on the SSD drive and move ORBX Scenery to an HDD drive, and execute it. Currently I don't want to re-install my entire FSX (+ ORBX-Scenery) to an HDD disk. I will consider whether the slowing (loading) of FSX is acceptable to me or not!?Greetings, Guus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guus7 Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hi Nick,It seems that your advice also applies to my PC ! I have moved ORBX to an HDD, and it seems OK (so far).Thank you ! Also for the pleasant method of explanation !Loading scenery takes longer indeed. Now about 3 minutes instead of. 1½ minutes ... Well .... there are worse things in the world.Greetings, Guus.

Guus7 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hi Nick,Converting (my) ORBX Data to my HDD drive is/was not successful ! The processor has a hard time with it. For example, the planes are often displayed transparently with only the propperlors visible. Even if I reduce the scenery quality in FSX, it does get better, but the transparency usually remains.I have put the data back to the root FSX on the SSD drive.What I am happy about is the new science about "Symbolic Link" ! I now use it to move other parts of my SSD drive in order to gain space. Quite an asset ! Thanks for that science.Greetings, Guus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guus7 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hi,Finally, I want to share that I have been studying the purchase and use of SSD Drives in recent days is striking that one speaks about the "Free Space" of 20 - 25% ! This in contrast with an HDD Drive where I always assume around 10%. My SSD Drive only had 8-10% free space!After moving data, I now have 20% free space, and my FSX with ORBX scenery now works PERFECT !!! No more transparency. Good frame rates ... Greetings, Guus.
