Unable to detect scenery linked to x-plane via shortcuts

[johnfxhayes]

Hello,

The Addon Manager which scans for custom scenery to highlight them on the map doesn't seem to be able to recognize add-on scenery that is linked via shortcuts.

A lot of people like myself store our scenery on a separate drive to free up space and link it via shortcuts in the Custom Scenery folder.

Would be really nice to see this added!

Hello,

Thanks for bringing this up

Just to clarify, when you say "shortcuts", do you mean Windows Explorer shortcuts (.lnk files), or are you using symbolic links / junctions (created via mklink /D or mklink /J in Command Prompt)?

Currently X-Dispatch should be able to follow symbolic links and junctions just fine. If you're using those and it's still not picking them up, that's a bug I'd want to look into.

If you're using regular Windows shortcuts (.lnk files), that would explain it

Let me know what you're working with and I can figure out the best path forward

I'm talking about regular windows shortcuts
