answered How can I point Orbx Central to a new X-Plane folder?

[Basilrug]

Hello All,

 

I have an 11.41 X-plane install and also an 11.50b9 X-plane install.  Central (latest version) is installing scenery into the old 11.41 folder.  Is there a way to point Central to the new 11.50 folder for new scenery installs?

 

Thanks for any help

Hi,

 

Central looks at %localappdata%\x-plane_install_11.txt to determine your X-Plane install locations. Please ensure your 11.50 install is included in that file

Got it, thanks Ben  btw I see a bunch of old installs not relevant anymore are listed in there, ok to delete them?

Hello,

yes, those entries must point to a folder that contains X-plane.exe and if there isn't one, they are redundant.

Hello,

welcome to the forums.

Go to the view\options\change folder and search options\view settings in your Windows File Explorer and

select "Show hidden files folder and drives".

Then go to C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local and you will see the file.
