June 3, 20206 yr Hi-running P3dv4.5 on Windows 7. Using Orbx scenery exclusively, and all of it on the same drive as P3d. Have held off getting Orbx True Earth scenery because of the size of ssd space needed. Would someone please let me know how to get an additional external drive and put all Orbx on it and leave all the other programs on the existing drive. Thanks much.

June 3, 20206 yr In Orbx Central, you can migrate your scenery, one package at a time, to an Orbx library which can be on any drive. 🙂 Edited June 3, 20206 yr by Bert Pieke Bert
June 3, 20206 yr , Bert...when you attempt to move the scenery to an Orbx library there's a note/statement: "if the scenery is working correctly, we suggest you do not migrate to a library". Is there a consequence or performance issue they're warning us about? Paul K KGYR Paul K KGYR

Hello Bert--does that statement apply equally to windows 7? Also, is the below external ssd good enough?

As for a USB SSD... possibly... if on a USB3 port.. I have no experience with that.. Bert
July 8, 20205 yr You may find loading may take longer as your scenery is now reliant on the speed of your USB3 and not the drive, an internal SSD will be faster, i have a 4TB external SSD for storage i store my downloads on there after installing. Raymond Fry.
