@John Glossop I've been using MSAddon Linker since it started and have had modifications included. At the time I wrote that text there was an issue with symbolic links where the disc version was placed elsewhere. Thanks to MS they were able to guide me to a successful conclusion. Today I do not have a community folder that is occupied with any files. Sorry that you have responded to text that is 5 months old!

sauviat No problem. I'm pleased that MS was able to resolve your issues, but the solution i posit goes further, and allows you to dynamically decide just which  addons to load, and hence minimize your sim load time.

There is a simple and elegant solution: use an add-on manger such as https://flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker

This free mod allows you to organize all the add-ons you want (I have hundreds) in a folder in a different drive from the one MSFS is on, and use it to select only the addon files you need for a particular session. It places links to those files in Community (not the files themselves) and therefore uses practically no space. An added advantage is that loading times are kept to a minimum. In my opinion this is, hands down, the best mod yet made for MSFS.

Right -- sorry, I didn't catch how old it was!
