Warning about updating to new FSFX packages installer

[Boeing or not going 578]

The new FSFX packages installer for their great programs has a big bug that can ruin your aircraft.cfg files. If you have foreign characters for some of your repaints, when the FSFX VFXCentral program runs and adds the lines needed for their effects, it spits out a corrupted aircraft.cfg file and your repaints with foreign characters will not show up properly. Just an FYI I emailed the developer with the info. I didn't keep the backup aircraft.cfg file and now I have to reinstall a dozen Norwegian 737 PMDG repaints. Oh well.

Hi,

 

Do you have a link to a repaint affected by this issue?

So basically any addon aircraft from say Avsim are a no go? Delete them and reinstall or dont even bother?

We fixed the issue and released an update earlier today.

CFG files containing special characters should now be modified adequately.

This has nothing to do with addons found on Avsim, they should work, as expected.
