Update......................
!!!!!! IT'S ALIVE..........IT'S ALIVE !!!!!!
Final working install: F:\Prepare3D v3 F:\Prepar3D v3 RTMM
Although I was able to put the scenery files on another hdd, it was very difficult to update Orbx and add other scenery without having to continually trace down errors.
Retraction required; not final working install.
This is the
FINAL working install (at least on my current hardware):
F:\Prepar3D v3 G:\Prepar3D v3 RTMM
G:|Prepar3D v3 Oceania
G:\Prepar3D v3 Scenery Tester
And last but not least: G:\Prepar3D v3 SimObjects Tester
I've finally gotten all remote locations fully working and have run several Orbx updates both manually and through FTX Central 2.
I even went so far as to run Orbx update tests with G:\*** Scenery Tester on a USB 2.0 docking hub. I wouldn't recommend running as such; the hdd got really hot grinding away.
More importantly, I've moved SimObjects out of root P3Dv3 folder. This makes it much easier to trial fly and troubleshoot aircraft without directly impacting the other directories.
My quest is finished.
Thanks to all who have put up with my "blogs".
