October 4, 20205 yr With the proliferation of addons (especially the free ones) the Community folder keeps getting bigger and bigger and the loading time of Flight Simulator keeps getting longer and longer. Also, there is no way to organize the addons in subfolders (as then the MSFS would not recognize them). The result is a very long and disorganized list of addons. Besides, from the program itself there is no way to activate and deactivate the addons (as can be done with FSX or Prepar3D). Anyone know if there is any solution to this issue?

October 4, 20205 yr Someone has created an app that lets you select and deselect Addons that you want for each flight. You start the app before starting MSFS and select/deselect Addons using check boxes. The Addons are organised into types, countries etc. sorry I don’t have the link but it was either on flightsim.to or nexusmods.

October 4, 20205 yr Hello, Yes, someone mentioned this link on this forum : https://github.com/captn-nick/MSFS-Mod-Selector I did try it, it does work. Give it a try !
October 4, 20205 yr Yes, that’s the one I was referring to.

October 4, 20205 yr A simple approach I use is to apply a standardised naming convention. Regardless of the add-on folder name, I make sure they reflect what each does: airport-[add-on folder name] liveries-[add-on folder name] scenery-[add-on folder name] This won't affect loading times etc., but it helps to keep things tidy.

October 4, 20205 yr Follow these instructions on the above link : " Download the latest version ZIP file from the Releases page. No installation is required. Simply unzip the content of the ZIP file into the MSFS “Package” folder. The program consists of 3 components: MsfsModSelector.jar: the program file. mods.txt: a text file containing information about all the mods managed by the Mod selector. config.properties: a text file containing all configurations for the Mod selector." The jar file is the program, it is not an .exe, You need java. If no window open, this means you have to configure the mod. Open a terminal as explained, launch the .jar file, follow the comments to solve your config !
October 4, 20205 yr Author Guys! I found this program! https://flightsim.to/file/1226/peeyem I'm going to try it now. It seems that it can move (o recognize) your mods to another location!
October 4, 20205 yr Author Hi, It works like a dream! This free program, PM (peeyem), allows you to have all the mods you want in a different drive and you can activate o deactivate the mod (aircraft, scenery o airport) between sessions. https://flightsim.to/file/1226/peeyem It's fantastic! Give it a try!
October 4, 20205 yr Author Well, I was wrong, partially. You can have the mods on another drive (warehouse), but if you activate them they move to Community. But it is a great app.
