Low disc space on C

Post by Robbie Hilltop » Fri Nov 02, 2018 12:08 pm

Hi

I'm having space issues on my C disc were I have installed C2. Not able to have more than 2 sceneries in the landscape folder.
I have many sceneries on a portable harddrive.
Is there a way to "link" the sceneries to the hardrive, using that to run the scenery files?

I wouldn't do it with an external drive...
But you can assign a mount-point folder path to the (external) volume in Windows. The Landscapes folder should be empty to do this.

You could also keep some landscapes on C: have the other ones on another disk drive
The best way to do this is to create a junction to a folder on another disk drive with MKLINK /J
Search the forum for mklink

Thank you all.
