Trevor-Matthews Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hi I am a very new user to the UK south and central True Earth scenery. I have the Orbx files in their own folder and not part of Xplane as I was given that choice during the install. Xplane and Orbx are on the same drive though. I now have a test 11.50 Beta version of Xplane on the same drive, is it possible to link the Orbx scenery to the test install as well as leaving it active for my main Xplane folder?

DocBird Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Same question here. I have a couple of versions of XP11 installed on various hard drives. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and many happy landings! DocBird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hello, if you have more than one version of X Plane 11, then all X Plane 11 versions should appear as options to load Orbx Central for. Select the one you want to use and run Sync Simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor-Matthews Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Thanks, not entirely sure I understand that and don't know what sync simulator is but I will have another look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hello, here are a couple of images to help you out. Here is the drop down menu that should have all X Plane 11 versions in it. Hovering the mouse cursor over each one will show you which is which. Click on the gear icon above the yellow line to open the Settings page.

Trevor-Matthews Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Ah ha, thank you for that, I was totally missing the drop down box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor-Matthews Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Had a chance to look again and despite having two Xplane installations on the D: drive, one called X-Plane 11 and one called X-Plane 11 V2, I do not have a drop down box. It simply says X-Plane11 at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply says X-Plane11 at the top. Have you clicked on the little down arrow where it shows your installed sims? It only shows one installation, the current one being used, unless you click on the down arrow. Also check in Local Disk/Users/your name/AppData/local and scroll down until you see text file called x-plane_install_11. Open it an it should show you the number and locations of your installed XP. If you second version is not listed then you can add it by following the format> For example if your v2 is missing then you would write on the nest available line: D:\X-Plane V2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor-Matthews Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hi Many thanks for the reply, there is no arrow to open the dropdown box. Just the main installation is shown. I will modify the file mentioned, that must be the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor-Matthews Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Modifying the file didn't help. Then I thought about when that file might be read. Re-starting the PC solved the problem and now both xplanes have the scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
