tanker50 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hi: Is there a safe way to move my Orbx Library from my C: drive to a different drive? Right now, between P3D V5 and MSFS 2020, my Orbx directory takes up 1tb, and I only have 365gb left empty on my C: drive. I want to move by Orbx library to my E: drive. Both are SSD's so the copying will not take much time. I imagine that the tricky part will be changing all the references in the P3D V5 "cfg" files, and the shortcuts in the MSFS community folder. I would prefer not to delete everything and then start from scratch if possible. Any ideas? Mike Gutierrez, North Hollywood, California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hello Mike, there is a section in the User Guide that tells how to do this. Moving a library to another location Moving a library is painless with Central and can be achieved in a few steps only: Go to Settings > Libraries. Note the directory of the library you’d like to move. Remove the library that you would like to move (remember: this doesn’t delete the actual files). Close Central by right-clicking on the tray and selecting “quit”. Create a new and empty directory in the new location Start Central again Open Settings, and then the Libraries page Press ‘Create New Library’ Select the new library location, give it a name and then press ‘Save’. Move the files from your original library into the new location. DO NOT amend the file structure. This step may take a while depending on your disk speed. Central will automatically scan the library for installed products, and then configure your simulators appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
