Installation Question
Lude2Envy:
The CLT installer moved everything from my FSX/P3D folder into the Addon Manager folder, but the sceneries are no longer in the scenery library in FSX/P3D. They're only in the library for P3D v4. Is this a mistake or do we have to go back and add each airport manually in FSX/P3D? Thanks.

The installer will not just move the sceneries, but will of course update the entries on the scenery library, in FSX or P3D up to version 3.2.
Version 3.3 and above will use the new method of the add-on.xml, so they won't be in the scenery.cfg anymore and this is CORRECT, but they will obviously work in the sim.
The most likely issue is that your scenery.cfg in FSX ALREADY had some kind of syntax error or illegal commands or other issues, so the installer couldn't updated it automatically, risking corrupting it even more.
You should be able to fix by downloading and installing the updated installers. The migration was made for the obvious reason to SAVE you from re-downloading anything, and it surely works, but it cannot work if your scenery.cfg already had issues so, I would like to have a look at it, if you could send it to my by email.

Holy crap!
Same here in FSX!
ALL my FSDT and FliGHTBEAM and Cloud9 sceneries
-like 6 GB are moved by the new KCLT-installer
from my big Flightsim HD to my small C HD,into the Addon-manager folder,
and there is no way to change that.
To click the browse-spot in the installer does not work.
My C Harddisc now has no space anymore.
All the FSDT and Flightbeam sceneries do not work anymore.
To download the latest installer of any of your sceneries,as you propose just lets this
process repeat again.
And to make this clear : my scenery.cfg is in the best shape!!!
All kind of sceneries of any developer worked perfect till now!
But the installer changes the paths in the scenery.cfg correctly to the Addon-manager
folder.
But as said above,I do not have enough space on this harddisc an I do not want any
scenery in my programs folder!
What a mess,what a desaster!

You were offered a chance to choose the installation folder for KCLT. The installer just moved everything else in that folder because, as usual, all our sceneries must stay together in the same place.

The browse button surely works, the 1st time, allowing to choose an installation folder.
The 2nd time you run an installer, it will defaults to the previously chosen one. FSDT and Flightbeam sceneries ALWAYS had to stay together, under the simulator main folder, you didn't had the ability to move them around freely so, really, what's changed now ?
Nothing, they still must be together, just that now, you can CHOOSE where you want to have them, while before, you didn't even had that choice: they always went under the sim.

Them why you chose to install under C:\ ?? Again, the first time you WERE offered a choice, it's just for subsequent installs that you cannot choose anymore. Before, you didn't even have the ability to choose, now you CAN, and you can do a mistake...

That's because you never said your problem was that you didn't had enough space on the drive you choose to install into.
--- Quote ---But as said above,I do not have enough space on this harddisc an I do not want any scenery in my programs folder!
--- End quote ---
Then why you haven't selected a bigger drive when asked to, which was the fist time you installed KCLT ?
--- Quote ---What a mess,what a desaster!

Which you caused, by purposely telling the installer to use a drive you knew didn't had much space. But of course, the installer obviously have a logical way to fix this, if you realize you made a mistake, and chose the wrong drive initially, you can do as follows:
- Uninstall all sceneries. During any of the uninstall processes, reply YES to the question:
"Do you want to remove the Addon Manager" ?
Which will CLEAR the choice you made initially so, on the next reinstall, you will be allowed to choose the installation folder freely, like the first time so, this time, just be careful and choose the correct place.
