• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Moving SBX to a different drive... Huge Files...

Just sharing this... Having to move SBX from C: drive to another drive as its becoming MASSIVE....

I am only doing a few mountains in Phoenix and its getting crazy huge, and now I may be shifting sources for the images... so it will probably get far bigger yet.

Hoping it will go seamless as I mainly need to get the rewiring of its 'save directories' corrected when its done transferring...
 
Hi Bill:

SBuilderX always stores its downloaded imagery tiles in a nested sub-folder chain, and will look for them there when "View Background" is toggled on in an existing project, based on info it has in a *.SBP project file or a *.SBX Exchange data file.

AFAIK, moving SBuilderX should not confuse that particular mechanism if its install location drive letter changes.


FYI: SBuilderX also checks those sub-folders when the tile down-loader feature is used, to see if a unique 'named' tile for a specific active TileServer is present and IIUC, how old it is, before it allocates time to download any such tile(s) for a user selected area.

Most recently used folder / file paths are stored in the SBuilderX.ini file, and that should be edited immediately after SBuilderX is relocated.
