When following the manual to create a link for navdata (3.8 Navdata installation) I noticed two things for the X-Plane 11 Demo:

1. The Path is not x-planefolder\Custom Data\, but x-planefolder\Resources\default data\ in my case
2. Using mklink /D caused a "insufficient priviledge" error in Windows 10, while using "mklink /j" worked, creating a junction:

   Code: Select all

   18.12.2019  23:14    <JUNCTION>     navdata [X:\X-Plane 11\Resources\default data]

Hi crashpilot,
Those are the default data. According to X-Plane documentation, the custom data should be installed in the custom data folder. If you don't have custom data folder, you can link whatever you want, also Resources\Default Data.

You miss elevation privileged, as mentioned in the manual, that's required in order to create a symbolic link in windows

Sorry for the late reply: Won't a "junction" work as well?
In Windows "dir navdata" shows the correct directory contents.
