M-Sauce Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hello Forum. Been out of the loop a while and see that Central has been updated a few versions. As per the title, what products can be migrated to a Library instead of residing in the main P3D folder? Currently, I still have all my "Global" listed products installed in the main P3D folder (Base pack, Trees, Vector, and Open LC products). Can they now be migrated to the Library? Would be worth having a sticky post here that outlines what can and can't be installed to the library. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the Swede in Spain Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 ALL products except for ESKS can be migrated to a library of your choice. I have done so with all Orbx released products. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack the Swede in Spain Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I have my EGTH installed into my Orbx-folder outside P3D., Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaab Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Yes - initially was installed in library, but was not showing. You had to move it to Prepar3d folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can only be done on a new install as Global Base cannot be migrated. There are a few other select products that can only be installed into a library or the simulator due to certain simulator limitations. As mentioned by others in this thread, ESKS and EGTH can only be installed into the simulator due to clashes with the default airport database.

Thought it was only just released. OK, either way, I'm still on 4.5 and probably will be for a a while. So I can go ahead and migrate all my Global programs, except Global Base, to my Orbx Lybrary. I don't own the two airports that must be installed to the P3D folder. Thanks. Might be a good idea to make a sticky with this info, it is not readily available and would be easier to update as changes occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is possible and does often work, I wouldn't recommend it if everything works fine and you've got plenty of disk space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I have P3Dv4.5HF2 So if I want all my global products in the library, I can uninstall all the global addons, and re-install the scenery portion of P3D, then install fresh the global products into the library. Is that right? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanjo Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Quote I have migrated LEBB and LOWI from P3Dv4 to Orbx library and everything seems to go well, but I have received a message : Path Not Found : F:\P3D-V4\Orbx\FTX_GLOBAL\FTX_AA_LEBB\scenery\*_objectflow.xml What to do please Thanks J J Gomez Prieto IVAO 142928 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
