October 5, 201510 yr I have a new system. For several reasons I plan to install FSX Gold instead of Steam or P3D V3. Waiting for several things to shake out before..... Like preserving my favorite AC models, my use of RXP in several of them, etc. My new system is SSD based. I have a separate internal 2TB HDD that contains my Megascenery 2 states (over 40 of them) plus a number of Megascenery Ultra Res cities. Is there a method for pointing FSX to that 2 TB drive (H:) and updating the scenery library? I have the install files archived on an HDD that is on a shelf in my closet, but would hope to avoid time consuming re=installation of that much photo real scenery.

October 5, 201510 yr Commercial Member Sure is a way. I run photoreal and other addons from several hdd's. All you have to do is after installing FSX go to the scenery config window in FSX and click ADD and enter the path of where your addon is. Pretty straightforward unless I am mis-understanding your question.

October 5, 201510 yr The free Scenery Config Editor can do this automatically. What happened to AVSIM

Or can I just point to the parent directory on the hard drive?

October 7, 201510 yr Get that Scenery Config Editor (just Google it). It has a lot of features, and I don't use all of the features, but there may be a way to batch all of the sceneries by using it. It's free, so it's worth a try. Robert Yunque PilotEdge Ratings = CAT-11 (2016-09-13) I-11 (2016-10-23) V-3 (2016-08-01)
