April 27, 20233 yr On another topic: don't try to upgrade to Ubuntu 23.04, 22.04 and 22.10 were working fine, but with this last one several of us, me included, have problems running X-Plane 12 succesfully, with Vulkan devices error messages.
April 27, 20233 yr got the scenery set up but my disappointment was that X-organizer is windows only so I modified my original .ini file in a text editor to and made 5 separate files. .One for each region I fly. that way only the orthos/airports get loaded. I now have a West and East Coast, Spain, Oceana and Mexico. I now load the .ini for the area I'm flying in before starting XP. Is this a good work-around to x-organizer not having a linux version?

Did you tried running x-organizer on wine? Look at this topic https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/133061-xorganizer-on-wine/

When using the 'W' API instead (wide chars - I know don't pick this one up either - UCS2 vs UTF16 etc...) the limit is 32767 provided you prefix the paths with a "\\?\" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation Nevertheless, the file API is a mess and antiquated from the 16 bits area I agree with you, and look, even FS2020 code is messing around with path containing any "accented" character... as if they're using the 'A' API with a fixed US code page like 1252... this begs some other questions indeed but these are irrelevant to this topic! Yeah it can be a real headache, I tried LongPath Tool Program which helped a lot.
