Hello everyone,

 

How do I go about getting Orbx Central to list Flight Simulator 2020 in the platform selection box, in order to download contents I own?

 

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

 

Thank  you.
 

 

Operating system:  Win10

Simulator:    Flight Simulator 2020

Hi

 

First Uninstall Orbx Central.

Then Delete the below folders

C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Orbx-central-updater

C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Orbx\Central

Then Reinstall  Orbx Central.

You will need to close Orbx Central and run the simulator first, then recheck.

Hi Doug,

 

It worked. I can select the MSFS in the menu.  However, in the backup menu, I already have it pointing to a Orbx X11 folder on a separate drive.  Do I need to create another backup folder for MSFS2020?

 

Thank you.

Does Orbx Central use one backup directory/folder for all platforms I use regardless of the name of the directory/folder?

 

Thanks

Quick question.

 

I downloaded couple files and upon installation were installed at:

 

 

 

Is it possible to redirect the save to file to a different Drive and Directory? Due to space limitation on my C: drive I would prefer D: instead.

 

This is were the MSFS2020 is currently installed.

Thank you.

Hello,

certainly, you will just need to refer to the Libraries section of the User Guide and set up an Orbx Central Library in a location of your choice.

You can then install your products into that instead.

If you decide to do that, I would recommend that once your new Library has been created, you delete the "Main Library", assuming that it remains empty.

 

This is how I have set mine up, as an example.
