Symbolic(specific extra folder)

[Michael Moe 495]

Hi , my Windows C drive has 400GB to spare so i was wondering how i can make that visible to MSFS and install addons to that folder also .MSFS Is installed on another drive (O:MSFS) and (O:MSFS/Michael/Community)

For instance a /MSFS/EXTRA Community folder on the C drive?

Thanks Michael Moe

Hi again , i know ORBX is installing outside the O:/MSFS/Community folder , so why is this not just standard for every other addons? I meen if i just point to a folder of my choice during installation and they do the math?

The standard for MSFS is that all add-ons, indeed all content, goes to into the "Community" or "Official" folders.   Orbx have a (fairly recent) history of using a "library" in FSX/P3D and  ported that concept to MSFS.  Most other devs will not have that infrastructure. 

That's where the Addons Linker comes in, letting you do it yourself, the way you want to.  In fact in this context it's Orbx that's the outlier, as I hate having several systems messing about with my flight sim files.
