answered Moving all Orbx scenery back into P3dv4.5 root folder

[Double Bubble]

Hi, is this a simple thing to do? Can I move all Orbx from a library back into the p3dv4.5 root folder?

Hi Rod

 

Sorry, but no this is not possible.

 

You would need to uninstall and reinstall the products.

Ok thanks Doug, understand.

I've gone ahead and uninstalled all my Orbx scenery from my created library via Orbx Central except Global base which is installed in the p3dv4.5 root folder, is there any thing else I need to do before reinstalling all my Orbx products back into the P3dv4.5 root folder?

 

Rod.

No, just be sure to choose the simulator when Orbx Central gives you a choice.

I have all my downloads in a backup folder created by Orbx Central all dated 2021 but it's not using them for a reinstall instead re-downloading every product again, what is the point of these backup files? Can I manually install using the zip files?

[Doug Sawatzky]

Hi

 

No, it is not re downloading them, it just appears that way by the wording on the install process, it will only download update files and scan your backups, as long your backups were created by Orbx Central and not the old FTX Central.

Thanks for the reply Doug but I'm pretty sure it is as my internet usage has gone up by 35gig as I watch the downloads happen, Central is definitely not using the backup files. I've checked the path to the backup folder which is correct, is there anyway to use the zip files manually to install?

Sorry Rod, there is no way to use the zip files manually.

 

Maybe try restarting Central and go to settings/help and run the sync simulator function and see what happens.
