Does mklink still work for terrains?

[Phil_A]

I would like to share the same terrain data with DCS World and DCS World OpenBeta to save storage space on the primary C drive.

mklink /J "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\terrains\MarianaIslands" "D:\terrains\MarianaIslands"

Unless they are both the same version you can't share them. Currently OB is ahead of Stable by 3 updates.
