December 27, 2025Dec 27 Be aware that a new optional line has been added to the manifest file for aircraft. Instead of "Simobjects", many third party aircraft are now designated as "Custom Simobjects". These load with a higher priority and may well be at a higher priority than your fix/mod.. To ensure that your mod loads above these Custom Objects, add this line in the manifest file: "package_order_hint": "CUSTOM_SIMOBJECTS_PATCH", Example for an avionics patch for the Carenado F33: { "dependencies": [], "content_type": "AIRCRAFT", "title": "Carenado F33A HSI mod", "manufacturer": "Beechcraft", "creator": "AJP", "package_version": "0.1.0", "package_order_hint": "CUSTOM_SIMOBJECTS_PATCH", "minimum_game_version": "1.37.2", "release_notes": { "neutral": { "LastUpdate": "", "OlderHistory": "" } } } Bert
December 28, 2025Dec 28 Great tip Bert. Thanks. I'd noted you'd not posted for some time and was hoping you were ok / doing well. Great to see that you're still on top of the techy side of this fine sim!

December 28, 2025Dec 28 Bert tht timing is funny as this just came up recently for a custom mod that's being worked on. Those lines did the trick hehe | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
December 28, 2025Dec 28 yeah, nulling out the order hint value by renaming it with a 'x' prefix in the addon's manifest also allows mods to be loaded, but your method of setting the order hit value with 'custom_...' is a way cleaner method. thanks for the heads up.
