    Great. I love this program.
    How about tutorial on adding "Official - One Store" also?

    One of my favorite features I discovered after I had been using Addon Linker for awhile was the 'scenery map' toolbar button. Absolutely love this program!

    When I switched from MFS on Xbox to PC Addons Linker was the greatest thing that I discovered. 1.3TB neatly sorted and organized by type, location, profiles, etc. Instead of manually creating junction links Addons Linker does it all for you. The advanced tools to keep everything clean is a great feature as well. This is software that I would gladly pay for. Great stuff 👍

    Addon linker is great, thanks for sharing! Another banging video, my friend. For those that don't have addon linker, simply rename community folder to 'communityold', and the sim will create a new empty 'community' folder for you so that you can safely update msfs.

    Addons Linker is simply a must have for anyone using mods for MSFS.. As I currently hover around 3.45TB of addons, ModelLib Changer and MaterialLib Changer solve so many errors for me.

    I second the vote for a sequal around using Addons Linker for the Official folder. I've used it for a couple of years, but not seen someone use it beyond the Community folder links. Including advanded features would be good too. Have used some, and they're equally great, but there may be more. Thanks!

    @raymondgoubet Месяц назад

    With Addons Linker, when installing with installers like Just Flight, or Simmarket, or ORBX central, addons are still installed fully in Community, but then you need to move them into your addons folders? Am I correct? And when updating an addon via an installer, what do you do?

    I never had any issues with updates. However, I would like to avoid future ones, thus this app is perfect. But for the life of me, I can't change the permissions on my community folder, so I am not allow to cut and paste the contents of the community folder into another folder. Any suggestions?

      Hey! I moved them to my D drive because my C drive is only 500GB, so I did it to free up space. It's one of the advanced things you can do with Addon Linker. I may do a video on it.

    Why not just rename community folder , then do update and a new blank community folder will be added. You can then delete that and rename the old one back.

    With Addons Linker, what happens when an addon has an update that linked to the Community folder? Will it automatically find the new location due to the link or do I have to change the path in the respective stores like Orbx, Inibuilds, etc?

    • @IslandSimPilot
      @IslandSimPilot  Месяц назад +3

      You can link to those folders on your PC (like Orbx, Simmarket, etc.), and when something in them is updated you just hit the refresh button like I did in the video and it’s all good. Very, very easy.
