  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

As far as I can tell KSZL is part of the North American Freeware Global Pack. It was added back on 9-7-15. Should be in the latest pack. It is in my Freeware Global Airports folder. Don't think it was ever a separate installer.
 
I downloaded the FTXGLOBAL_NA_Airport.zip which is 20.1 Mb in size. It says I need the FTXORBXLIBS_160528. zip which is 1.3Gb in size. The exe installers only allow the files to be put in the main FSX folder ORBX folder. I am getting full on my FSX drive. Can I install them on another drive somehow or can I move them to another drive after I installed them in FSX ORBX? I know if I do I have to point the Scenery Library to the new path. Thanks, Bob.

The only way this can be done successfully is to install the files and then move the whole ORBX folder to another drive.
Then you can delete the ORBX folder from inside your simulator folder and replace it with a symbolic link to the new location.
I would advise against this if you are not or cannot become fully confident with managing the files and creating a symbolic link.
A Google search for symbolic link should provide numerous guides and if you prefer, software to help you with the process.
 
Thanks. I did just as I asked in my question. It works fine. I have no idea about why a symbolic link is required. I set the Scenery Library to look for it at the new location. Regards, Bob.
