Linking Custom Scenery Folder What Am I Missing ?

[Defiance_co]

Hiya's,

I came across a piece regarding linking the custom scenery folder from one hdd to another hdd

It's not that explicit, and leaves me at a standstill

I have right mouse clicked my custom folder on F: and placed the shortcut on my C: (both have x-plane 10 obviously)

After initial startup, i exit to check the ini which now shows in the shortcut folder (C:\users\ant\desktop\x-plane) , this is what it shows ...........

I
1000 version
SCENERY

SCENERY_PACK F:\X-Plane 10\Custom Scenery/

The shortcut for the actual f: custom scenery folder works a treat, and takes me from c: to f: fine n dandy

Anyone know what to edit the above ini too ??

Idea is, c: is a mere 128gb ssd holding W10 x64 + Base X-Plane install, f: 500gb ssd holds my pretty large custom scenery folder and assorted x-plane stuff to wade through and try lol

Here is the actual text i came across ##################

Take the scenery file (folder) from the "other" folder with the right mouse button and move it back into the original Custom Scenery folder. Release Right mouse button there and select "create shortcut here".
Then there is a "shortcut folder" in Custom Scenery folder of your X-Plane 10 installation.
Then start X-Plane 10 and exit again. In the scenery_packs.ini now is the entry at the beginning of the file in this way:
SCENERY_PACK I:\ additional sceneries\<Scenery Name>/

Where I (for example) is the other hard drive and the scenery is stored in the "additional sceneries" folder there. Instead of Scenery Name, the corresponding name of the scenery appears.

In the scenery_packs.ini file you now can move this entry to the correct position. ###################

Help Much Appreciated

Cheers

Numpty Tony
