How to move scenery to another location
« on: October 14, 2021, 04:38:59 pm »
Hi Guys,

I use P3D v4.5... and have several FSDT and Flightbeam Scenery installed within p3d simulator drive.
Because of drive space I would like to move the scenera to another drive.
How can I do this?
Is there any step by step instruction available and must I download a new installer for each scenery
from the fsdreamteam 'product and download' site?

Thanks in advance

Lothar

With FSDreamteam, uninstall everything you own by FSDreamteam. When it asks if you want to remove the Add-on Manager, select yes. Then run one of the FSDreamteam installers, and it'll ask where you want to install your product. Select the location and install it. Run the remaining installers, and it'll install in that location. If you already have installers for the sceneries, you can just use that since it's going to run the updater anyway. As far as I know, FlightBeam scenery automatically installs in your P3D folder.

Hello,

I uninstalled all FSDT scenery inclusive GSX. Then I run the existing GSX installer first and get an error.
The installation process ask for the 'gsx_p3d4_setup.bin' file which can not found in the 'C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Documente\GSX_Installer' folder.
I can not found the file on my C: drive also.
Pleas help!

Thanks
Lothar

In that case, I'd say go to the FSDreamteam website and download the installer that's there, perhaps you do need a new one for GSX.

Ok, with the new GSX installer GSX is now installed within the other location without problems.
Do you recomend now that I should download new installers for the other FSDT scenery also?

Try the current installers first, if those don't work, then download new ones.
