FSX-MS How to get FSX to recognize addon scenery on new disc drive

[lewblok 8]

I am moving all of my addon scenery files to a new hard drive.  From what I read, I need to go into The scenery tab in settings in FSX and point FSX to the new hard drive.  I cannot find where I need to go to accomplish this.  My c:/ drive is 1 tb and it is full.  The addon scenery accounts for 750 GB so I am going to install it on a 2 TB hard drive so I will have room for more files.  Just asking to be pointed in the right direction for doing the scenery change to new drive.  Thanks in advance!

The FSX scenery.cfg file contains the pointers to all the scenery packages that you have enabled.

You can edit those lines to reflect the new scenery location, or you can create a link pointer to the new scenery location in the previous location, if they were all say in the Addon scenery folder..

Start up FSX.  At the setup screen, click on Customize.  Then Scenery Library.  Scroll down to Addon Scenery and link it at the new location.

With Prepar 3d v4 does one use the same method to have scenery on a separate drive?

Probably better asked in the P3D forum.

At the Setup screen, click on Scenery on the bottom and then link to any drive where your scenery is located.
