How do I transfer X-Plane 11 Custom Sceneries to a different drive?

I'm a long time "real world" commercial pilot and CFII, but new to X-Plane 11, so please bear with me.  I have recently copied my X-Plane 11 folder and contents from my primary SSD (C:\) to a new, secondary SSD (E:\). All works well from the new location EXCEPT my add-on ORBX sceneries. They're not being activated from the new E: drive. My Custom Sceneries folder shows up intact, but...

Is there a cfg or ini file I need to edit, or what?

 

Thanks,

If you only "copied" your XPlane folder then Orbx Central is only able to read the old Installation path/location of XP when it was on your C drive and therefore unable to locate the new location to activate your Orbx addons.

Go into Users/your name/AppData/Local and at the bottom end of that folder you will see the x-plane_install_11 txt file. See pic 1

Open it and type in the correct new location like I have exampled in the 2nd pic below: In your case it would be E:\XP11/
