Hello folks,

I'm brand new at this as of 2 days ago. I installed Orbiter 2010 P1, D3D9 client, and Sound4.0.

When I launch Orbiter_ng, I keep getting this message "config folder not present Modules/Server create symbolic links". What does this mean and how do I remedy this?

Thanks

The two symbolic links in /Modules/Server/ folder for "Config" and "Sound" folders point (or link) to their "originals" located in the root folder of the Orbiter installation.
If you are using Windows XP or newer and your installation is on a NTFS filesystem, these links can easily be created from Video Tab -> Advanced Setup. If you have problems with creating the links you can also use a software called Link Shell Extension (see link below) or you can simply copy the Config and Sound folders into /Modules/Server/. But then you have to keep them updated manually.
