One thing I've come to realise since becoming addicted to fight Sims in recent years, is how there's a section of enthusiasts who can fly complex aircraft blind, but they cannot do the fundamental basics of PC usage. They struggle with windows explorer, they can't use discord, they've never gone into windows settings etc etc. I see this tool as something perfect for them, they don't need to worry about managing zip files, extracting, copying and pasting etc, it's all done for them nice and easily. So this tool is catered to some but certainly not all.

January 3, 20242 yr So what this does is automate the extract to location process or am I misunderstanding the installation part of the program? Essentially, it saves you from a couple of clicks only, doesn't it? Like when you buy an addon within the Contrail or Orbx apps for example and they auto install.

As I understand it, it gives you an auto install for something that is delivered as a compressed file, such as anything freeware from flightsim.to

It is made to give you a similar experience to Contrail or Orbx in the sense that it makes your installs faster (on-click). You can leave it open/monitoring and simply download things from flightsim.to or other sources in your browser. You then don't have to worry about installing things as it is done automatically in the background once the files are done downloading.
