January 3, 20242 yr Commercial Member Just now, Reader said: @Keven Menard Could you explain a little more about the possible ramifications of the list of overrides that this tool provides please? We made an article about this. Let me know if you have questions beyond that. I see potential conflicts, now what? (parallel42.com) Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.

I use Addon Linker to be able to have most of my addons in various (and nested) folders *across various drives* outside of the Community Folder. Simstaller appears only to accept one path. I can imagine you could add multiple paths to Simstaller, but then you'd have the problem of pointing new addons to specific paths <??>.

January 5, 20242 yr Looks like we need Siminstaller to download the Siminstaller, quite a slow-motion download!.

Spending a few houurs understanding file structures, how to unzip, copy, paste, etc. files will help you understand what you're doing, instead of relying on some funky "helper program" that, in the end, may cause problems of its own.
January 6, 20242 yr I'm I'm very close to reinstall MSFS from scratch because I have so many CTDs in recent times. Would this tool help to identify any conflicts of my current installation.

Just to be clear, for those who don't already know: Addon Linker does not install actual addon files into Community. It places LINKS to the files, which are stored wherever you want to keep them, into the Community folder.
January 8, 20242 yr This is like owning a Tesla vs a car where you are complete control. Technology and all this AI stuff is making people so dependent and lazier. It's good to learn the manual way of doing things. Not shaming this tool. But if people keep falling into this trap, then yes the world as you know it has already been on a steep decline, especially since 2007 when the "smart" phone came into existence.
