Store scenery on an other disk.
Store scenery on an other disk.
I used the conder-updater to store scenery on an other disk and i changed the condor-scenery directoy to the same. See attachment.
in spite of these changes condor still search for scenery in the original installation directory: C:\Condor2\Landscapes.
any idea what is wrong and how to solve this probem?
thanks
Paul

Re: Store scenery on an other disk.
First one needs to be the condor landscape directory. That is the only place condor looks for landscapes. The updater will create a symbolic link to the landscapes folder where condor looks with a link to where the landscape is actually stored.

Re: Store scenery on an other disk.
The first one IS the actual directory in which the sceneries are stored.
the updater seems not to make a symbolic link.
how to fix?

That is wrong. It needs to be the condor landscape directory (usually c:\condor2\landscapes). That is the folder the updater makes the symbolic link in

Re: Store scenery on an other disk.
I changed the update according your instruction. See attachment.
In c:\condor2\landscapes i only have scenery Slovenia2.
the updater menu installed files shows only slovennia2 . see attachment
Condor free flight menu only shows slovenia2. see attachment.
In D:\Data Intel\Condor2\Landscapes i have the sceneries AA2 and NethelandsHD.
So the updater does not make a symbolic-link from c:\condor2/Landscapes to D:\Data Intel\Condor2\Landscapes as it should do as your wrote in a previous reply.
Is this a correct?
I reinstalled the updater with the same result.
any suggestion?
thanks Paul

Re: Store scenery on an other disk.
CU creates symlink when *IT* installs landscape. Not after.
Instead of reinstalling landscapes, you can create a symbolic link yourself with command prompt, you find all details on Google (search for MKLINK). The link MUST be created in Condor landscapes directory and will be see as a directory by Condor. When Condor reads in it, Windows transparently redirects access to the target (ie other disk).

I use this. Maybe easier then what Thierry suggests: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshe ... nsion.html
If you want the Condor Updater to do it you have to reinstall the landscapes.

Re: Store scenery on an other disk.
Yes,
indeed, a symbolic link is made after (re)install of a landschape
On my old cumputer i could copy all downloaded sceneries from a disk to another disk, changed the path in CU and it worked.
On my new computer it did not worked.
thanks for your help

Re: Store scenery on an other disk.
I have written a small utility that creates symbolic links for landscapes

Re: Store scenery on an other disk.
Thanks for your reply. It will fill the need for some users and will give along with the other answers in this topic a good overview of possibilities to make make symbolic-links?
