Sceneries greyed out in sceneries library ?

Post by fowler »

Hello can anyone explain the purpose of having greyed out sceneries entries ? It seems they cannot be moved up or down, nor deleted etc correct ?

I assume if you want to do that you have to use a third party scenery app like Lorbi correct ?

At first I thought greyed out sceneries were thoses installed outside the Addon folder, but after checking both the add-ons and the library menu in P3D5 I find multiple greyed out entries where the add-ons menu show them in the addon folder, and sometime other greyed out are installed in another folder so this doesn't seem to be the explanation.

BTW the whole addon is a mess with some installers I wanted to use a dedicated drive for P3D addons and I have now sceneries everywhere, mostly in the My Document folder where someone created an addon folder.

I am seriously tempted to desinstall all that mess and reinstall and paying the most attention to use one folder only for all addon's.

What is the best strategy to locate your addon's installation ?

Thanks

Use a scenery management tool, like the free Lorby SI Add-on Organizer.

Where can you get this Add on manager. I'm having the same issue discussed here.
