davidjamesstokes Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hi i have my fsx loaded on a SSD 240 which is almost full due to the amount of ORBX scenery installed. I have a 1 terrabyte mechanical harddrive which is hardly used. My question is Is it possible to load scenery files into the terrabyte drive and have FSX find and use these files, or can FSX only utilise files in the same drive it is installed on? Any help with details very muck appreciated David Stokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llivaudais Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 FSX scenery can be placed on ANY drive in your system. The scenery library entries will have a full path if the scenery is other than inside the "addon Scenery" folder. I've had sceneries on several drives for years.

meshman2 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 You could also move the SimObjects to another drive. Just edit the FSX.cfg to show the new location; SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torkermax Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Would putting the scenery and loading them on a mechanical HDD not kinda defeat the purpose of an SSD. Slow initial load time?

evm Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Would putting the scenery and loading them on a mechanical HDD not kinda defeat the purpose of an SSD. Slow initial load time? Yes it will. Especially when both are attached to the same controller, so the SSD gets slowed down as well when the controller waits for the HDD to respond.
