X24 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Operating system: Windows 10 Simulator: P3D v4.5 Screenshot: Issue: Greetings Is there any way to use the substantial stock of of the dozens of scenery files that I have kept backed up over the years? I am doing a clean install on a new laptop and using FTX Central I could always just do the installations straight from my memory slab. This is going to be a mammoth and time-consuming task if I have to download everything again... I'd appreciate any guidance. I've been reading the forum for the past hour but didn't find anything on this particular subject. I tried pointing the download backup to a folder where PNW is backed up but it's completely ignored all the backup files and created a new archive of its own. I fear that I have answered my own question. At this point I will probably uninstall Orbx Central and go back to FTX Central.

Hi, yes you have....those backups from the the previous app called FTX Central are not compatible with the new Orbx Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post wasn't intended as any kind of criticism or implication of deficiency, rather to point out that I had actually tried to find a solution before reaching out. I own 152 Orbx products and this is the first time I've gotten stuck, on what is a fairly straightforward issue compared with some of the problems that have cropped up in the past. I sometimes seem to have a knack for missing the obvious, and picking search keywords and phrases that are fruitless. I am therefore very grateful that forums like this exist, and your good self and your colleagues of course. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hello Chris, I also meant no criticism of you. I was just pointing up a way to save a lot of time and effort for you if there is a next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
