Auto update Mods possible?

Featured Replies

What is the best way to stay current on mods. Scouring github or flighsim.to is getting rather tedious after every MSFS update. The FlybyWire update method is the only exception. 

Is there a way to auto update mods as they are released, or am I asking for too much?

Flightsim.to has a view your downloads section that will indicate if anything you previously downloaded has been updated. On the main screen, click your username at the top right and in the resulting menu select "My Downloads". It defaults to showing you anything that has been updated.

Other than that, no, there is no other way to auto update mods.

It would be great if there was a tool that could scan your addons folder and download and install updates straight away from flightsim.com! 

Until then, Jim is spot on.

I've found Flightsim.to sometimes only has an older version

That would be up to the author of the addon/mod to upload any updates they make.

Flightsim.to is NOT one of those sites that scours the web sucking up anything it finds that might be related to flight simming. It relies on authors for their initial and updated uploads. Which is a very good thing, IMHO. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

And, again IMHO, the people behind the site have created an excellent experience. Easy to find stuff. Easy to keep stuff upgraded. If I had to guess, I'd say that may be the reason the AVSIM file library is not doing quite as well.
