MJChernis Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Has anyone tried creating libraries for different categories of products purchased from Orbx? Was thinking of creating distinct libraries for aircraft, airports, cities, vessel, and other. Is there any reason not to? Can I just copy the files from the Main Library to the library folders for each category? Edited January 12, 2023 by MJChernis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hello, as far as I am aware, there is no limit to the number of Orbx Central Libraries and they can of course all be given names of your choice. As long as you are copying intact folders from one library to another library, Orbx Central will continue to see them. The file structures must not be disturbed.

bvdboomen Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I have done this and it works great. Using libraries in Orbx Central is the way to keep add-ons physically outside the Community folder and then link them with Add-on linker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The file structures must not be disturbed. Do you know which part of the directory structure needs to be preserved? Does EACH separate library need the MSFS sub-directory? And, does each folder need to be double nested? Right now, I have: D:\Orbx\MSFS\Vessels Enhanced AI\Community\Seafront-Livingworld-Vessels-ai Not sure if you need all that nesting or you can simply have a library called Vessels with a directory structure of D:\Vessels\Seafront-Livingworld-Vessels-ai which is linked to community. Thanks in advance. Mark Edited January 13, 2023 by MJChernis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 You will need D:\Orbx\MSFS and then copy each product folder intact into that. For example, D:\Orbx\msfs\Vessels Enhanced AI. Leave all the contents of Vessels Enhanced AI as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I follow. The plan was to create a couple of separate libraries. One for aircraft, airports, vessels, etc. Not sure I could do that if they all needed D:\Orbx\MSFS to be the root. Will the following work: D:\Orbx\Airports\ D:\Orbx\Vessels\ D:\Orbx\Aircraft\ And, I'd put the product folders inside of those? Do I need the MSFS?

Nick Cooper Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 If you want Orbx Central to recognise the libraries, then you will need to put all of the product folders into an msfs folder. If you don't then it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
