Just a heads up. ORBX have released the long awaited Migrator Tool.

Thanks for the HU Pat .

I'm glad I got up early over in the Eastern Time zone in Ohio . I suspect their server might get a bit busy today .

If you use fsx yes this tool is worth it, but I don't use fsx anymore and I am not about to use it as a host for addons.

I have many ORBX sceneries installed and working fine for over a month now using symlink

I cant find it!!! (sigh... )

EDIT: Found it. Googled it and found it right off.

Is anyone else having problems?

Yes, it doesn't seem to migrate Oz properly for me. It's all there but the FTX Central doesn't do its switching thing so the autogen is wrong.

Read of similar problems on the ORBX forums.

I must have been lucky as I got everything to work first go. Even FTX Central has all three areas. Default, Oceania and North America. Just might have been my lucky day.

My FTX Central only listed default and North America for me , but I only fly in North America and the switch went very smoothly and after I clicked on North America , all were there and worked fine . ORBX scenery is absolutely gorgeous . I did run into a minor Win7 problem on my setup . Every time I clicked on "P3D lights Day and the P3D Nights Only" exe file that gets placed on the desktop I get a security error , even after trying to change the FTXLights_P3D_Day.exe security settings(right clicking on exe and then under Properties\Security and changing to FUll Adminstrator rights . I've tried to run the files under admin and still get the Win7 error . I'll fool around and come up with the combination sometime . In the mean time all ORBX scenery in Prepar3D is there and fully functional . The Light Switcher can wait . The FTX AERO for Prepar3d worked fine also .

Does the dll.xml file get updated with scenery flow dlls statements?

If it does then the tool did not work for me.

Updated. I cannot believe how much grass there is now!

I need to trim things down as my frames went from 20 down to 9-12.

Apparently it does but sorry to say I can't answer why or how due to my lack of computer knowledge .

Here's another hint - don't forget to run Aero from the Tools menu of FTX Central. This will give you much better ground and default runway textures. (So long since I ran it in FSX I forgot it existed!)
