Then I create a link form it back to the original place. Then it works. Best of luck! Success !! I guess i had it all backwards , The reading of the Symlink instructions was a bit confusing .. and i ended up making the symlink on the D drive .. "wrong " other way around is what was needed .. so after your last reply .. I slept on it thinking and the light bulb in the brain flashed ... ( I had done it all backwards ) so i found this on the internet in the morning = same thing as your last reply .. ========================================================================= I use this shell extension on Windows: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html You need to put your data folder in the other drive, right click the folder and select "Pick Link Source", then drop at DCS folder as a symbolic link. This way, you are going to have a link in DCS that points to the folder on your other drive. ============================================================================= So in the end once i understood how it works , it was just SO easy .. download tool / configure it / drag and drop terrain file from C to D drive / delete C file / rt click on the D file and send Symlink back to C , and everything works Butter Smooth .. So I learned 2 Tricks in the same week . Good Deal ' So now I reinstalled the Caucasus Terrain map, then moved and linked all 5 of my terrains and gained back 165 GB of Free Disk space == good to go / no need for bigger HD for long time now . if ever ?

Guess not, as long as you're fine with the loading time/speed, which I assume is fine. There might be some more Pacific down the line, while years away. Happy you solved it!
