See, he's a nice guy,  folks. 

My favorite addon in the old days were the hangar managers. You could have an all Props hangar, an all British Hangar, an all Jumbo hangar, an all Military hangar, an all Turbo hangar, an all 3 Engine Jet hangar, an all 1920s hangar, and so on. The same plane might be in 2 or 3 hangars.

Addons Linker does this very well with a backup, built in.

It disables default content, even the streaming stuff?

I've used AL since the beginning, I couldn't find it anywhere.

Go to tools/content.xml editor.

I'm running only my miltary planes at the moment.

hello, don't want to hijack this thread 🫢 because it's not about AL, but if you want to use the content.xml editor inside AL and notice that the screen takes more time than it should to load up (it should be instantaneous) then a fix is already available (i'll maybe try to publish a new official version this weekend, for now i didn't because i didn't have many other changes for the new version and not sure if many people would be impacted by that particular issue so i was waiting for maybe some more fixes, but well maybe it's time to publish, because that one was fixed already several weeks ago and improved also the duplicate scanner and map screen loading 😉).

here's the fixed EXE if needed : https://www.mediafire.com/file/cmesbz86cw8r5yi/MSFS_AddonsLinker_2024_TEST_20251028.zip/file

you don't need it if everything is ok for you or if you read this after a new official version is realeased then just ignore it because the new official version will be more current and always recommended 👍

I haven't tried that new app and it does probably some things better (in AL it's just a 'side' feature that might need some refinements and that most people don't even know it exists 😁), just posting this here because other users mentioned AL so thought it might be useful for them.

Thank you (and sorry for the hijack) 🍺

I have been using it since released. Thank you so much for that amazing app.

If you don't mind I have only couple of suggestions to make it even better:

Ability to filter

and select/deselect all (filtered items)

there ara about 1.380 lines and clicking in each one you want to disable makes it tedious.

Thanks again!!

No problem, I love your app as well.  I didn't realize it could disable even streamed default stuff.  This app might be a little more user friendly for that part.  There's room for both!

Filtering and searching is already available but, yes, an option to apply the changes to all filtered items is a good idea. I'll check, thank you 🍺

I use it everyday, and more than once! even more so than MSFS 2024 😀
