ROBBAN Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 When I update x-plane I have a message: overwrite the old file, keep the old file,overwrite every old file in this directory or keep every old file in this directory. Which alternative should I choose to receive correct update?Which one do you recommend? Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defiance_co Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hiya Robert, What that means is, you can choose to keep items you've changed/modded eg : ............... In Resources/Bitmaps/skycolors ..........You may of changed something in there, so the install is asking if you want to keep the whole folder as it is or replace with default/stock items It also oviously lets you keep or make singlular default/stock items back I've just done this, i have HD runways concrete grass etc etc, i just click to keep the whole folder option, that way, i don't have to redo all my items and the game/sim gets updated Hope that makes sense Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBBAN Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Thanks! I have modified resources/default data/earth_nav.dat,changed some vor,ils in x-plane map and I dont want to keep this data it means that when I choose "overwrite every old file in this directory " data I modified will be changed to the new update? If I check "overwrite every old file in this directory " will this have an impact on some addons I installed before hd mesh v3 or something?

Defiance_co Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hiya, Yes to the first part The second part, only if items rely on what you've modded/changed Your best bet is to choose single option not the whole folder, that way, take a few seconds to absorb what it wants to default/update I only mess with whole items eg : bitmaps, so no data like ILS Vor etc As always (lol, i'm a fine one to talk) back up if you can beforehand if you're worried Tony ps : The HD mesh stays in you custom scenery folder, i keep a backup when i remember to hehe, but no, your mesh won't be altered as it's a kind of addon via your custom scenery folder, but, your stock airports will generally get defaulted/stocked and appear in the custom scenery folder, and i assume also the global airports So after i stop a repair/update from overwriting my altered items, i have to remove newly created stock airports that i have replaced with downloaded ones, this is the only downside i've found to the repair/update process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
