Photoscenery only renders if the 'Orthophotos' folder is within the 'TerraSync' folder.

I installed Photoscenery-GUI, properly following the guide here: https://wiki.flightgear.org/Julia_photoscenery_generator_GUI.
I added the 'output' and 'backup' paths from the GUI, which created the 'Orthophotos' and 'Orthophotos-saved' folders in the specified path.

/.../FlightGear/Photoscenery/
✦ ❯ ls
Orthophotos
Orthophotos-saved

I specified the path to the 'Orthophotos' folder in the 'Additional Scenery Folder' section of the Add-ons section, as mentioned in the 'FlightGear Integration' section. This gave me an error that the added folder is not a terrain folder, but I added it anyway.

Now, no matter what, the photoscenery won't render when I start FlightGear. I searched a lot here and there, and after a long time, I figured out that the 'Orthophotos' should be placed within the 'TerraSync' folder, where FlightGear automatically downloads and stores the terrain data.

Now it looks like this:

/.../FlightGear/Stable/TerraSync
✦ ❯ ls
Orthophotos
Orthophotos-saved
...
...
...

Please edit your guide and specify that one needs to have 'automatic scenery download' activated in the FlightGear Launcher, and then create the 'Orthophotos' and 'Orthophotos-saved' within the 'TerraSync' folder from the Photoscenery-GUI. There is no need to specify the path to the 'Orthophotos' folder in the 'Additional Scenery Folder' section of the Add-ons section.

Cheers
