question about adding scenery effects and global texture

[pueblov 0]

Dear lorby developer, on one occasion you recommend me to unify all airports, for example Brazil, to include all Brazilian airports in the add-on.xml.

  The question is:
1. in relation to the effects and global texture I can add them in the same add-on.xml of Brazil.   https://ibb.co/Qfztb45

2. Or create a separate folder with another name to place all the global textures and effects of the airports and generate another add-on.xml. https://ibb.co/jkHyxzz
I ask the question because many textures and effects are repeated in several airports. 

which of the two is better and which you recommend 1 or 2

Hi,

unless these are thousands of files, I don't think that it makes a lot of difference. I would use the method that makes the most sense to you in terms of the organization of your addons. As you are dividing them up by country, option 1 seems the best choice. Effects files or textures shouldn't use that much space, so you gain little by unifying them - and have the additional effort to always copy files around (a procedure which I am trying to avoid, not to confuse possible uninstallers).

Technically, option 2 is the better one, since the sim has to process less files - so it is faster in finding them. But unless we are talking about thousands of files, that wouldn't really matter.

Best regards
