Normally, Add-ons folder placed in Documents folder. If you want to install your add-ons on another disk, you need to relocate the Add-ons folder. But how to change location of Add-ons folder?
1) Create and rename a add-ons folder to where you want.
For example: D:\My Addons
2) Go to location of add-ons.cfg folder.
- We have two add-ons.cfg folder: One of located at
C:\Users[Your username]\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v[X]
This folder using for user dependent add-ons. - Other of located at
C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v[X]
This folder isn’t user dependent and add-ons will work with all users.
You can choose which you want.
Note: ProgramData and AppData folders are hidden folders. You must open viewing hide folders option for viewing these.
3) Find the add-ons.cfg file and open it with Notepad or other text editors.
4) Add new discovery path to end of the texts and save it.
Discovery path text:
[DiscoveryPath.X]
PATH=Your Folder
TITLE=Your Title
ACTIVE=true
REQUIRED=false
- [DiscoveryPath.X]: X should start with 0. If a another discovery path already added, add 1 to last number.
- PATH=: Path is location of your new add-ons file.
- TITLE=: You can give a title what you want.
5) Now you can use your new folder as an add-ons folder.
