Is there any way to change the path of the Scenarios folder that Orbiter is looking for? I'd like to place it on a different drive than the Orbiter executable.

Has anyone ever done this? Is there a config file that would specify the location?

Thanks,

Brass

Yes this can be done. One options is to create a junction point so that the scenarios folder redirects to another drive. I think it's also possible to change the orbiter.cfg scenariodir entry to point to another drive.

Look for the line "EchoAllParams = FALSE" in orbiter.cfg. Set it to TRUE.
Now open Orbiter and close it again.
Open orbiter.cfg again.
There should be some line now which says there the scenarions are.
Symbolic links would also work. EDIT: :ninja:

Thanks guys! I have already set up a Junction for this, but the config method is exactly what I'm looking for as I'd prefer to have things as clean as possible. Giving that a try now.

Working like a charm via Orbiter.cfg, thanks again for the fast help!
