Been using DestinationFinder (great  OLD freeware) to choose my flights for years.

 

Fear of tons of addons messing up the sim install kept me away from airports, other global scnery like fsglobal ftx were ok.

 

 

Now following posrts on avsim I now have a system of scenery/texture/effects folder outside sim that works well for freeware airports I seen so far in early days of trying this method.

 

This system deals with my fear of  addons meesing up p3d install cause the airports are outside sim.

 

However soon as you get to orbx airports that need to work with ftxglobal ect which I also have, I loose control of install location.

 

Also I have 2 folders named DEPT and DEST that are linked to p3d scenery folder where I dump scenery/texture for current flight airports. This way no need to update p3d scenery library directly every flight, I just update  dept/dest folders.

 

This means only 2 add-on airports re referenced in scenery library at anytime, keeping scenery library short, and also avoid unused scenery active.

 

So to all AFCAD oldtimers out there, how do you manage afcads best so as not to get messy as it grows. Example how to combine afcads you manage with what ftx has to manage due to being orbx airports.

 

I also have AdditPro, but not sure I wana use it, cause my folder system does same thing, but wait and see.

 

any ideas cheers

Sorry for multiple post, new avsim post button always required several hits for me, old website worked perfectly.

cheers

Have you tried SceneryConfigEditor?   Many people use it to manage all my scenery, including payware airports.

I can a combination of custom scenery folders (outside of the sim folders) organized by region and SceneryConfigEditor.

I got six copies of your post in my email, just so you know.

Have you tried SceneryConfigEditor?   Many people use it to manage all my scenery, including payware airports.

+1  I have well over 30 payware airports and 40 AFCAD upgrades and a ton of payware addons like UTX and GEX and 40 of the 50 MegaSceneryEarth 2.0 states.    SceneryConfigurationEditor is a *MUST* have tool for keeping a library that large organized and easy to change out as need per flight.   

thanks will check sceneryconfigurator
