This is great news. The ORBX folder is huge and so far it had to be in the P3D folder. Now it will be possible to keep ORBX scenery on a different drive.

Chief, this is the LM method of installing addons externally so as to keep the default installation intact and simplify updates.

Since I have to uninstall (aka completely scrape off)/reinstall P3D quite often I use the LM xml installation model to always have things already there.
Making the xml file for each new aircraft/scenery is easy once you've done it once and just use that as a template.
