Symlinks & Hardlinks

[zswobbie1]

It's easy to 'share' scenery across multiple installs, just by directing the library to get the scenery files from another folder.

I was wondering if something similar can be done by using symlinks &/or hardlinks, so aircraft can be shared across multiple FS2004 installs.
Anyone tried this?

I found program called 'Symlink Creator' & will give it a try to see if it will work in W11.

In principle, it actually works..

I can set up a single 'master' hanger for aircraft, for both my Golden Wings & my Platinum Wings install, and just link any additional (more modern) aircraft to my Platinum Wings install,
This saves a lot of space & duplicates.
