Changed MSFS folder location
« on: August 08, 2021, 11:49:05 am »
Hi,

I previously had MSFS installed in D:\MSFlightSimulator My FSDT airports are installed in the folder: D:\P3D Addon Scenery\FSDreamTeam\Addon Manager\MSFS   

Recently I purchased a larger SSD to use as my C: drive and migrated MSFS to that drive. Everything went well, however the FSDT airports were replaced by the default airports. Checking the ..\Community folder, I saw that although each FSDT airport folder existed, they were empty and not 'linked'

I've now created symbolic links like this, and the airports are all displaying again as expected:
Code: [Select]
mklink /D C:\MSFlightSimulator\Community\fsdreamteam-airport-lszh-zurich "D:\P3D Addon Scenery\FSDreamTeam\Addon Manager\MSFS\fsdreamteam-airport-lszh-zurich"

Can you confirm this is correct? I don't want to run the FSDT updater in the future, and have broken it  ;)

Thanks,
Pete

It seems correct, symbolic links are automatically created by our installers so, it's possible they have been lost when you "moved" MSFS to another disk.
