MSFS Addons Linker 4.91/5

The first thing you'll probably do when trying this tool for the first time is move your currently installed addons outside of your 'real community folder' to put them in your new 'custom addon folder'. To avoid problems, please try first with a single addon only to make sure everything works fine for you.It would be sad if you move 200GB and then you notice it does not work for you. Files placed directly in the new folder should always work but, for some users (not the majority) the files moved might get encrypted if you have the MS-Store version so it's worth checking before. Thank you.

note : for the detailed changelog, please check the 'changelog' tab at the top of the page, below are just general informations

Addons linker / Addon linker

** added 2021.06.06 **

new version, finally a little map for all those who requested it, hopefully some of you will find useful.

Please check the what's new (changelogs) for info on how to use the map (it's simple but still 2-3 things to know). I also added a little head up towards another addon manager that you might find interesting.

** added 2021.03.13 **

a new very well done video by badGamr has been posted on Youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O68u05JZXL8

It's based on the latest version (as of today) and covers most of the features, a must see if you need some help or are starting with the tool or have some questions about it

Many thanks badGamr !

Hello

Another little addon manager. Made to match my own needs and just sharing with the community.

I tried to keep the UI very simple but it should hopefully do the job 'feature-wise'.

- lets you organize your addon freely in folder and subfolders in your folder of choice
- will create links in the community folder. There is no need to move files in and out of the folder.
- very easy to activate/deactivate groups of addons (single click)
- lets you save presets of addons
- lets you rename addons (link will be automatically updated)
- lets you add / update / remove addons

Installation :
- just extract all the files and drop them in a folder of your choice and run the EXE file

usage :
- create a folder where you will put your addons, add your addons in there instead of putting them in the community folder, you can create as many subfolder as you want to organize your files efficiently
- launch the application, in the options screen set your 'addon folder' and your 'community folder'
- just click on the checkbox to activate/deactivate addons
- rest should be fairly easy to understand (little quickstart guide should be coming soon if needed)

notes :
- if it doesn't work please try to set the application to run as admin, if it works but you still get the message at the start, just disable the message in the options screen
-i was made aware that other tools seem to do pretty much the same things but probably with some differences (have not tested them though because i learned about them after mine was released last week), anyway each has probably its own advantage and it's just free and just for fun, so you can freely decide to use mine if you find it useful.

big thanks to the guys in the AVSIM forum that helped me testing the very first versions with feedback and ideas. I will now post it here exclusively making it easier to maintain for eventual updates.

Thank you

Can I hope that someday there will be an option for external language files? English is good, but a native language program is better. Give us a fishing rod and we'll catch the fish ourselves 😊

hello, thanks for the feedback, yeah i understand your point. Unfortunately this tool was not developped from the start with multi-language support in mind because it wasn't even developped to be shared, then was shared in a forum for a few people then and ended up here being quite popular. Not thinking about multi-language from the start means that now i would have to extract all texts available in the tool and read it from a file instead of being hard-coded (and then you could do your own language file based on that model). That would be quite a lot of work because texts are everywhere.

Well if the result would be guarateed to be 100% satisfying maybe i could start doing this, but then i have a big fear that the fact that the words will not have the same length in every language will probably break the UI and I might end up with some words being cut or fields being moved around and people will complain that it's crap which i would understand (i have had complaint for way less than that 😉). Also not sure how foreign character would be displayed (chinese, russian, ...). So i'd like to do that for sure but i can't promise i will because it really is a lot of work for me and the fact the result is not guaranteed frightens me a bit. Point certainly noted though (out of curiosity i'll do a little test soon to see if the UI is broken by varying text sizes, i fear that in some places it will unfortunately. Note that english is not my main language and if i had to translate the tool in my main laguage i think i wouldn't know what to put at times like for 'preset', we all got way too englishized 😊 ).

Hello, sorry for the trouble, this is unfortunately probably due to something specific that has been added recently in your folder structure, maybe even inadvertently (like an invalid link somewhere or a shortcut created by error, might even be a disk problem rendering the folder unreadable, a specific character causing problem, hard to know). From the error message you posted, what is happening seems quite clear, my program calls 'GetDirectories' (a standard Windows function) on your parametrized custom addon folder and for some reason it crashes, not much i can do about it because it's not a function i write myself, it's a standard windows function.

I think i remember that someone had the same problem several months ago (he had introduced by error an invalid link in his folder structure so when the getdirectories reached that folder it crashed). To find out, i think i sent him a a test version that listed all folders one by one (so we could see the one causing the problem), i will check if i can find that test EXE again (if not might take a little time until i can do another one). I will let you know asap.

Is it possible to add a filter in the map screen.

Example

i have reginal airports in my "regional folder". That contains dozens of separate folders with the individual airports. Also i have an INTL folder.

I would like to be able to select only the regional folder for example ... and only show that content on the map.

Regards and thanks for this great program !

bad2000 2 day(s) ago

Resposta

Hello, yes it should possible. If you filter the grid that is below the map, the map will show only the filtered elements. So in your specific example, you should be able to do filter on the 'folder' column with something like 'contains(regional)'. Check the little pic here for an idea -> https://imgur.com/EZvq8Xs . Make also sure you disable th eoptions that shwo official airports if you want only your regional addons. Let me know if it's not clear enough.

I'm asking for a friend: I installed your Linker on his computer under operating system WIN11. After correct settings in the opening options screen (verified by other colleagues) I created some subfolders like Aircraft, Sceneries, Aircraft Mods in the named folder (in this case H:\Addons) and brought in verified freeware. Now there is the following problem : on the left side of the Linker only the small white squares are displayed, the respective names such as Aircraft, Sceneries, Aircraft Mods are missing behind them. However, the data are recognized and placed as links on the right-hand side of the Linker (community folder). The data can be retrieved/used in MSFS. What can I do to make the respective names appear behind the squares on the right-hand linker side?

hello, is it possible to post a screenshot because just by reading i don't really understand what is happening for you. Thank you.

KDieter 4 day(s) ago

Well, I'll try some linked screenshots

Opening screen:

https://abload.de/img/bild1vvj7s.jpg

2 folders in E:\Addons - these are

Helicopter (included H135 from flightsim.to)
Scenery/Scotland (included Lossiemouth)

Links to be seen on the right in Community folder

No names on left side behind the small squares

https://abload.de/img/bild2o6kh0.jpg

Names only appear when pressing "Expand/Collapse to folder level"

Resposta

oh ok thanks for the screenshot, now it's more clear. It's just the color that is broken, If you use the new 'black' mode you have to change the folder colors to match the rest of the view (otherwise the text is the same color as the background and you don't see anyhting). Check options screen 'colors' tab. Put some colors in the for backgound of the folders like in the pic -> https://imgur.com/ogbL6M9

The click Ok and Restart the tool, It should be better. There's probably a little something that i need to check in the code about those colors.

hello, hard to tell, can you reproduce that on demand ? or do you get always the error randomly. If you can reproduce it 100% of the time i can probably send you a little debug version to find out what is causing the problem. Also when does that happen, when you activate an addon ? deactivate an addon ? apply a preset ? other ? There is probably a little issue with one addon that is causing this but it's obviously difficult to reproduce on another pc. Let me know thank you.

Yes, I should have told you this prior, just like you mentioned it always happens 100% of the time when activating and deactivating an airport for some odd reason it's been just airport sceneries, for example, the CRJ soundtrack works fine.

bad2000 7 day(s) ago

Resposta

Hello, i have added a basic option to print the map. Use the 'Print map...' option in the right click menu when you are over the map. It will print the part currently visible on your screen. Obviously the goal of this tool is not to print beautiful maps because that' s not an easy task 😊 so that's pretty much the best i can do, hopefully it's usable for you, let me know.

can I use this program to link my add-ons that are bought from marketplace or it only works for the community folder?

bad2000 11 day(s) ago

Resposta

yes you can, there are some instructions about it in the option screen (advanced tab) if you check the 'official folder managements' option. It's important that you understand how it works, obviously if the link is not active, your content manager' will tell you that you need to redownload the addon (which is no problem and you can ignore, but it's important that you understad how it works if you want to use those options, it's a bit more for 'advanced users'). Also VERY important, test first with a single Addon and make sure all is ok for you (sometimes MS-Store prevent files being moved around, should be ok with Steam). Feel free to msg me if you need more info with that feature.

How do we ignore the update prompts? I just moved the three Asobo Canadian airports, junction-linked them, launched the sim, got the update prompt but didn't see a way to bypass it.

bad2000 8 day(s) ago

Resposta

Sorry, i dont't really understand what you did and what is giving you update prompts ? Is it the sim ? Have you maybe moved stock content outside of his original folder (in that case probably the sim sees it missing and will ask you to redownload and i don't think you can do much about it). This tool is made for 'addons' moving 'stock content' folder might not be a good idea. But i'm not sure if i understood correctly, feel free to msg with more details if you think i can help. Thank you

Hello! Your product is amazing, however as of today, the program will not fully run for me. The program says it is running, but it will not show up on my screens. I have tried everything I know to do. Do you have any suggestions? Anyone else have this problem?

bad2000 11 day(s) ago

Resposta

Hello, yep known little bug that can happen (some info about it on the FAQ if you need more info). Please try this -> make sure the tool is closed -> open the INI file (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker\MSFS_Addons_Linker.ini) -> locate the 3 rows at the bottom that start with 'Window_xxxx' -> delete those 3 line -> save INI -> restart the tool. If one day you have the same prob with the map screen there is another entry for that one 'Map_Window_Position'. Let me know if that doesn't fix it for you, thank you.

Greetings Bad - would you be able to consider adding a facility to search for duplicate airport entries on the content.xml? This would be a life saver and with the ever growing list of 3rd party airports, this could be really useful.

bad2000 11 day(s) ago

Resposta

Hello, some kind of 'duplicate checker' would be nice but, as of now, my tool pretty much sees only the name of the addon so it has no way to know if it's a duplicate of another one. I have started investigating if maybe by reading some value inside the BGL i can determine if it's the same airport, hopefully i'll be able to achieve something soon.

malvolio 10 day(s) ago

Resposta

Hi - duplicate checks of the ICAO eg. EGLL was what i meant - one could then see that they need to disable or delete one of the airports. Going through and deleting the asobo airports where i have purchased add ons has stopped many CTDs for me. As i have quite a few and Asobo add new ones, it is difficult to keep on top of. Many thanks and keep up the stellar work 😊

Hello, the path that should exist is this one -> C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker\Data and then the file MapData.bin inside it with several other files. Please check with Windows explorer if you can access that folder and if you can see and open the files that are inside it (if you can't then the tool probably can't either). It looks like a Windows permission issue, did you maybe run the program 'as administrator' before but not anymore ? Can you maybe try to run it as admin to see if that fixes the issue ?

Probably already received this feature request but it would be great to be able to save the external apps that are launched into a profile. For some planes, I want some apps but not others, etc.

hello, i have already added a feature close to that in the latest DEV version because it was requested by some other user. It allows you to say that an external program is launched only if one or more addons are enabled. I will send you a link shortly via private message so you can test if you want.

thanks for the head-up, my win10 doesn't have that update yet but yeah if it starts spreading it will be a bit problematic (not sure if it's win11 only for now). There are lot of tools using .net fw components. Hopefully they'll fix that. The 2 optional 'http' components are certainly not needed (not installed on my pc and it works fine) but yes, if it removes completely the .net 3.5 and some of the components that i use still need that it will probably cause a crash. (my tool is developped in .net 4.7.2 but i have no control about external DLLs).

I'm having a new problem I've never run into. In one of my folders, I am only able to enable one thing at a time all of a sudden. It's in my scenery libraries. I just enabled one called sdr-pack. If I now enable anything else, it will disable sdr-pack. Then if I click a third thing, it disables the last thing I enabled. I tried restarting the app.

CalsFM 19 day(s) ago

Resposta

Interestingly it seemed to go away when I disabled all addons and then slowly re-enabled. I'm 90% sure though that it has something to do with dependences. Each of the addons that would only be enabled one at a time are dependencies of other addons (not of each other.) Either way, I'm good to go now but something might be kind of weird with dependencies.

bad2000 18 day(s) ago

Resposta

By default, unused dependencies are automatically disabled. So if you enable 'sdr-pack' (which is a dependency of something else) and then enable another addon, 'sdr-pack' will be disabled unless another addon that uses 'sdr-pack' is currently selected. If you don't like that, you can change that behavior in the option screen by checking 'Do not automatically disable dependencies if not used' (advanced tab). Let me know if something is still not clear.

Won't fly without it. Thanks for taking your time to make this.

The program does not remember column layout after restart. (Correction, It does, i'm just blind)

Anyway of porting whether a mod is a Sim Update compatible and displaying this in a column?

bad2000 21 day(s) ago

Resposta

Thank you for your comment, appreciated ! You can save the order/size of the columns with 'right click menu' -> 'save columns order/size'. If you do that, they will be restored to that state next time you start the tool. My tool doesn't know what the addon is, so it can't tell you if it's compatible or not with a particular SU, what you can do is add 'descriptions' to the addon (there a little '...' button inside the field or 'set custom description' in the right click menu) and you could put the info you want there. All being done automatically is unfortunately not possible. Let me know if something is not clear.

Hi. First of all thanks for this great program. But recently I´m having issues with it.

When I select some addon and save / apply a preset, the next time I open it and apply the same preset, not all addons are selected. I tnink tis is happening since the last SimUpdate...maybe?

Regards...

hello, a bit difficult to reply just by reading your message, not sure what is happening there for you. I have sent you a little private message so we can investigate further.

Hello. I have discovered that the folders that it did not let me select are empty, but I do not understand what could have happened for this to happen.

If I replace them with the addon again completely, I can select them without problem. I don't know how so many folders could have been emptied and only the main directory of each addon was left, but that was the problem.

All the best.

First of all, thank you!

Just installed this yesterday, but I've found some folders are not linked when selected. They display a Star instead of the red or green button.

Folders like AirlandFS Beta 1.5, AFC_Bridge, aig-airtraffic-oci-beta_CVT_, and even a user generated scenery, ezro-san-sebastian, they won't be active no matter what I try. I can tick them but they won't have a link inside the community folder.

Bypassing this app an placing manually inside the Community folder, they all work fine.

I've deleted the app and installed again, no help.

Any ideas?

bad2000 23 day(s) ago

Resposta

Hello, thank your feedback appreciated. The addons that are activable are addons containing manifest.json files so for example all folder ending by _CVT will not because they are not addons, the CVT folders are created automaticaly by the sim (if you delete it it will be recreated the next time the sim needs that folder). For the AIG_CVT folder, i have for example put inside the same manifest.json that is in the main AIG folder so that i can activate the CVT at the same time as the main folder (via dependency so that it's activated automatically when i activate the main addon).

AirlandFS seems to be a program (EXE) and not an addon, so once again it will not be activable because it has no manifest.json file. I'm not sure about what is AFC_Bridge, looke like some sort of drivers so probably not an addon either. For the San Sebastian addon is it this one ? -> https://flightsim.to/file/6966/san-sebastian-pais-vasco-spain ). I'm trying to download it to check but it's so big and speed so slow that it's gonna take a good 2 hours. If it has a manifest.json file (probably has) try to unzip directly in your custom folder, never put it in the real community folder if you have the ms-store version because sometimes that makes the files not working when they are moved elsewhere.

To sum up, check in the folder if it contains a manifest.json file in the root level, if not it will not be activable via linker because it's not considered as an addon by the sim. Let me know if something is not clear.

bad2000 23 day(s) ago

Resposta

i did a quick test of the san sebastian scenery, no problem on my end, i can activate the link and it shows fine in the sim. If you are still having issue after downloading the 2 part of the addon, send me maybe a private message with what you are seeing inside addon linker for that addon, maybe it will give me an idea of what is happening for you. Thank you.

Also important to understand, 'star icon' means a folder and 'red-green dot' means it's an addon (the ones that have manifest.json file), that because you can have multiple level of folder for exemple 'aircrafts, scenery, ..) and then inside those folders you put your addons. The folders will show with the 'star' and the addon red/green for activation. Oh well maybe the more i write the more confusing it gets 😊

suburbannun 22 day(s) ago

Resposta

Oooooh, thank you! Now I understand.

Really good explanation. As this was my only 'black hole' with this app.

Some of those like AirlandFS and AFC_Bridge (I think this is for the Bravo Throttle), should just stay inside the community folder anyway.

As for the San Sebastian scenery, I'll download again, but it's no longer an issue, since I now understand what works and what doesn't.

Thank you very much!

Cheers : )

Version 0.15.8156.23 May 01, 2022

A mini maintenance release just to fix a few minor issues add add a few specific requests, and hopefully a useful improvement in the 'launch external programs' feature, see example pic --> https://i.imgur.com/AmW4Lnu.png

[IMPROVED] Overhaul of the 'launch external programs' options. If needed, go through your existing programs and adapt the settings as needed (right click 'edit' to change the parameters for each program). Custom arguments, custom delays, waiting for simconnect, process priority and affinity can now all be set for each program individually

[IMPROVED] You can now add custom folders to be scanned for the documentation browser, there is a little button at the top-right of the screen. (For example if you want to add your MD80 docs just add the 'C:\Users\<your_username>\Documents\Maddog X Files' folder as custom folder).

[IMPROVED] You can now add/remove multiple tags at once via the new 'Manage tags for the selected addons...' right click menu option. Note that this needs to be improved to be able to remove 'tags', for now it just add tags, should be available in the future version.

[IMPROVED] It's now possible to enter multi-line descriptions for addons.

[IMPROVED] If you have multiple 'addons folders', you can now choose in the options screen if you want them to be sorted by 'name' or in the order you have introduced them in the options screen (note that this option has no effect if you have saved a custom layout that includes a sorted column)

[IMROVED] If you have specified batch files in the auto-launch programs, the 'black command window' will not be shown anymore when executing the batch

[IMPROVED] Custom description can now be used as map dots tooltip, the description column has also been added to the map screen grid.

[IMPROVED] Some little improvements for the recently introduced new 'black' dark mode

[FIXED] MaterialLib/ModelLib scanner could hang when reading a layout.json files containing errors.

[FIXED] Documentation browser was sometimes not refreshing the documents list properly after applying a filter or doing a search

[FIXED] The first item of the main view wasn't always properly selected and focused when launching the tool

[FIXED] The renaming of the 'description' column had no effect if a custom layout was saved (via the option 'save columns/order size). The renamed column was also not renamed in the other screens (gridview / dependencies and preset editors)

[FIXED] The 'Load preset' argument was not working properly if used at the same time as the 'startsim' parameter

[FIXED] The usual little fixes here and there
Version 0.14.8141.41 April 16, 2022

oh well yeah, i will never get it right the first time, so here is the little hotfix as usual ... sorry for that ;)

[HOTFIX] new 'documentation browser screen' was not opening properly due to a little last minute change that was not tested on a PC without development tools
Version 0.14.8141.35 April 16, 2022

Hello,

Nothing major but just a little update mainly to fix a few little bugs and add a few requests. Thanks as always for the feedback and ideas.

[IMPORTANT FIX] Fixed a possible issue causing the main screen to not appear correctly if the decimal separator was not set as the dot (.) in the Windows regional settings

[NEW] : Added an 'Addons documentation browser' allowing access the PDF documents of all your addons in a single screen without the need to go hunt for them in subfolders (all addons managed by the tool + all the addons in the official/onestore folder are processed). The documents will also be avaible in the main view in the right click menu 'Documentations'. You need to launch the new screen at least once to scan the data the first time (button at the bottom). Example screen here -> https://imgur.com/Q1Ww275

[NEW] : Option to launch the tool only with the map (options screen -> 'map options' tab). You can restore the normal UI with a little 'show main window' button available in the right side panel of the screen when needed.

[NEW] : new experimental darker dark mode (it's called 'black'). You might need to change some of the 'coloring' option in the options screen to match with the darker interface.

[IMPROVED] : you can add now multiple dependencies to several addons at once. Select multiple addons in the main view and then use the new option in the right click menu called 'Add cumulative dependencies to the selected addons'. You can then choose the dependencies that will be added to the ones the addons might already have.

[IMPROVED] : if you want to set an addon as dependency of several other addons you can now use the new 'Set this addons as dependeny for other adons' option in the right click menu

[IMPROVED] : map dots can now be colored based on the TAGS you have defined (available in the options screen 'map options')

[IMPROVED] : Content.xml editor, you can now quickly move entries up/down by using the keyboard (SHIFT+KEYUP and SHIFT+KEYDOWN). A warning is shown if you made changes and are closing the screen before saving. You can now disable the automatic 'backup file' creation.

[IMPROVED] : For the ModelLib and MaterialLib changer screens, you can now disable the automatic backup file creation. You can now also specify if you want the log to be automatically saved in a file (files will be here -> C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker\Logs). Use the 'options' tab to enable or disable those options.

[IMPROVED] : you can now save the layout (columns position / size / sort order) in both the dependencies and preset editor screens

[IMPROVED] : new option in the 'options screen' to choose if you want both the dependencies and presets editor screens to open with all nodes collapsed (by default they are expanded). If collapsed, the first level will still be expanded unless you have several custom addons folders specified.

[IMPROVED] : Map 'user points' can now be deleted and modified. There is also a new option to import points but it's very basic for now, just create a CSV file with 3 columns 'name;latitude;longitude' and you will be able to import the data to the map. If you need more with this feel free to contact me directly.

[MINI] : Added a little button in the toolbar at the top to autofilter the potential duplicate addon names (button with the 'warning' image)

[MINI] : if you have added several 'addons folder' in the options screen, you can now sort them automatically with a little button 'Sort folder' button

[MINI] : added some possible arguments when launching the tool ('preset=nameofpreset' to launch the tool and automatically load a preset / 'startsim' will launch the sim and all specified programs when launching the tool / 'startsimandquit' will launch the sim with all specified programs without starting the tool)

[FIXED / IMPROVED] Several other small fixes and changes here and there

[NEXT] Next i will try to improve the 'automatic program launcher' that needs a little overhaul, it's not ready to be included in this release but it should be coming fairly soon (possibility to add arguments to the program, 'wait for simconnect' and 'delays' settable for each programs individually).

Some of this might sound a bit too technical, but don't worry they are just options for those needing more advanced features, you can still use it the same way as before, nothing has changed for the main features.

As always let me know if I broke something and i'll try to fix quickly. Thank you.
Version 0.13.8037.42 January 02, 2022

hmm.. no comment, another litte fix. It came to my attention that some people changed their default preset folder to be the same as their addons folder. The backup process backups the preset folder (should be only a few tiny-K) but if you have set it to be the same as your addons folder it will backup all your addons .. this explained why very few people thought the application was hanging, it was probably copying lots of file.

If you have changed your preset folder and saw long loading time the first time you launched the version of december 31st, please check your C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker\Backup folder. It will maybe contain a backup folder that takes lots of space and that you can safely delete to preserve disk space.

[IMPROVED] Backup process now backups only the small files needed even if the folder contains tons of other files.

Sorry again for the multiple releases ! This backup option added on dec 31st was probably my worst idea of 2021 ahah :)
Version 0.13.8037.33 January 02, 2022

Hello,

HOTFIX of the HOTFIX

BIG SORRY for the multiple versions in a few days span, sometimes it's just a bit more complicated than it seems :)

I have had a few reports of users that were stuck on the loading screen with the latest version because of the newly implemented automatic backup process. This probably occured to less than 1% of the users but still a fix was really needed.

For info, the backup process only backups some very small files just to make sure you don't loose your configured data (ini file, presets, custom data).

[CHANGE] The automatic backup process is not enabled by default anymore for EVERY users (even if you already used it), please enable it again in the options screen if you're interested in that feature (i think it's a good idea to have it enabled).

[IMPROVED] the backup folder is now configurable

Hopefully this version will be ok for everyone and 'hotfix of hotfix of hotfix' will not be needed for a while :)

Thank you for your support and special thanks also to the guys who helped me debug this issue.
Version 0.13.8035.30 December 31, 2021

Sorry, a little hotfix is needed for the version uploaded earlier today.

[HOTFIX] Backup settings were not saved
[HOTFIX] Filter editor screen was crashing in all version after 0.12 (some DLL were missing, so make sure you copy the full content of the ZIP file and not only the EXE when you update)

Happy new year (again) :)

Perguntas Frequentes

Perguntas? Encontre a sua solução aqui.

How to install / update ?

Simply unzip all included file in the zip in a folder of your choice. For updating, repeat the same process after deleting the files that came with the previous version.

Will my settings be kept after an update ?

Yes, the settings are saved in a different folder (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker). The presets are also stored in that folder by default but they might be in another folder if you changed their locations in the options screen (so make sure you don't delete them if you changed the location manually).

Can i save the columns order / size ?

yes, there is an option for that in the right click menu (save columns order / size). If you do that, the column order will be restored on the next restart of the tool

After launching the tool i see the icon in my taskbar but the screen does not show up (main screen of map screen), WTH ?

oops, the tool saves it's locations when closed. If you change monitor settings between 2 sessions (for example going form dual screen setup to a single screen setup) it might happen that the screen is restored outside of the boundaries of your current screen, so it will be there but you wont' see it :)

You can fix that easily by going to the configuration folder (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker), open the ini file with notepad and remove the tree lines below :

Window_Position=
Window_Splitter_Pos=
Window_Splitter_PosH=

If you have the problem with the map's screen you need to remove this line :

Map_Window_Position=xxxx

On the next restart the app should show up correctly on your screen.

I'm getting 'can not read manifest.json file', addons do not work when moved outside of the community folder

This is unfortunately an issue some users having the MS-Store version faced. When addons are placed in the community folder they are somewhat encrypted (not exactly sure what Windows does). When you move them elsewhere, they don't work anymore. It seems to be a Windows limitation and there's not much we can do. For some users copying the addons instead of moving them fixed the issue but that doesn't seem to work for everyone. In the worst case you would need to redownload the addons having the problem and place them directly in your custom addon folder.

If you have the MS-Store version an plan to move all your files outside of the community folder, i strongly advise you to try first with a single addon to make sure it works. There are also some workaround you might try if moving doesn't work for you (feel free to contact me if needed).

I have a crash when .......

please send me a private message on this site (there is a little option 'private message to bad2000' in the action menu on the main addon page) with the detailed error message that you get. I'll do my best to try to fix

Can I apply multiple presets at once ?

yes, you can do that either by using the 'presets screen' available in the toolbar menu, in that screen you can select several presets and apply them at once. You can also use the button 'apply cumulative' at the bottom of the addons list. That button will apply the selection of the presets without removing the currently selected addons.

I get invalid links if i rename / remove addons via the Windows Explorer

this is normal because if you do operations via the Windows explorer the links can not be maintained (for renaming for example there is an option directly in the tool's right click menu, if you do that inside the tool the link will be maintained by the tool). Anyway if you get invalid links you can delete them easily with the right click menu 'delete invalid links' on the right panel (they can be spotted easily because they will be with a red background), then just recreate the link for the desired addon.

Where is the manual ?

there is none .. shame on me for sure ;) It should be fairly easy to use though and feel free to ask if you have any questions.

There are also some videos about the tool that have been popping up on Youtube, they can certainly help understanding the basics (many thanks to their authors).

Donations ?

Thank you very much about thinking about making a donation. I really appreciate that but it's ok, there's already so much stuff to pay for nowadays, just enjoy the little tool if you think it can be useful for you and don't worry about money.

How to uninstall everything / start new ?

To remove completely the application you need to remove two folders.

- the folder in which you unzipped all files

- the configuration folder that is created automatically when the tool is run for the first time and where your settings are saved (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker)

if you do that it will be like if you had never installed the tool.

Do I really have to launch the tool 'as admin' ?

The real reply would be NO. But well, it's a bit difficult, the more precise reply is 'not anymore since v0.8' but YES if you have already used older version of the tool.

Unfortunately it was required for earlier version (because the tool was creating links that needed admin rights, now not anymore). The fact that it was required in earlier versions means that now your configuration files are saved 'as admin' and if you run the tool 'not as admin' you wouldn't be able to update them so you are pretty much forced to continue running the tool as admin. It's a bit annoying.

Feel free to contact me if you need more info and don't want to run it 'as admin' anymore because it would be as simple as recreating your configuration files without admin rights.

Why do some addons show up in red ?

The red color is just a warning (everything will work fine). It indicates that you have two (or more) addons with the same name in different folders. Those are probably duplicates that need to be checked.
