Re: Realsky on hard disk

Thomas Pfleger Aug 22, 2005

Hi Oliver,

You can achieve this the following way:

* copy the RealSky data to your hard drive (NTFS file system strongly
recommended!). I assume you use D:\data\realsky
* create a batch file with one entry: "subst R: D:\data\realsky".
This maps your RealSky directory to a virtual drive letter R:
I put this small batch in my Autostart folder and so the mapping is
done automatically on any system startup
* In Guide go to Extras.DSS/RealSky images" and choose "RealSky/DSS
from CD". Here you select the drive letter specified in the subst
statement.
* After prompting with OK, the image should appear (but only in
higher magnification levels!)

Hope this helps,
Tom
