The first thing you'll probably do when trying this tool for the first time is move your currently installed addons outside of your 'real community folder' to put them in your new 'custom addon folder'. To avoid problems, please try first with a single addon only to make sure everything works fine for you.It would be sad if you move 200GB and then you notice it does not work for you. Files placed directly in the new folder should always work but, for some users (not the majority) the files moved might get encrypted if you have the MS-Store version so it's worth checking before. Thank you.

 

note : for the detailed changelog, please check the 'changelog' tab at the top of the page, below are just general informations

Addons linker / Addon linker


Hello

Another little addon manager. Made to match my own needs and just sharing with the community.

I tried to keep the UI very simple but it should hopefully do the job 'feature-wise'.

- lets you organize your addon freely in folder and subfolders in your folder of choice
- will create links in the community folder. There is no need to move files in and out of the folder.
- very easy to activate/deactivate groups of addons (single click)
- lets you save presets of addons
- lets you rename addons (link will be automatically updated)
- lets you add / update / remove addons

Installation :
- just extract all the files and drop them in a folder of your choice and run the EXE file

usage :
- create a folder where you will put your addons, add your addons in there instead of putting them in the community folder, you can create as many subfolder as you want to organize your files efficiently
- launch the application, in the options screen set your 'addon folder' and your 'community folder'
- just click on the checkbox to activate/deactivate addons
- rest should be fairly easy to understand (little quickstart guide should be coming soon if needed)

notes :
- if it doesn't work please try to set the application to run as admin, if it works but you still get the message at the start, just disable the message in the options screen

big thanks to the guys in the AVSIM forum that helped me testing the very first versions with feedback and ideas. I will now post it here exclusively making it easier to maintain for eventual updates.

Thank you

Senaste ändringslogg for 0.20.8566.36

oooops, a little hotfix for the version released 4 days ago :

[HOTFIX] Fixed an issue with an error message popping up for users installing the tool for the very first time (aka 'make a good first impression')
[HOTFIX] Reverted back to the old searching method that will not auto expand the folders to show the matching items. The new auto expand option is still available for those who requested it but it needs to be activated via the options screen (2nd tab 'Additional options')

if you're updating from a version older than 0.20, please refer to the previous changelog entry for the main changes.

Thank you for the reports and sorry for the inconvenience !

As probably tons of users of this fantastic tool, I recently took some time (months 😉 ) to split my 1.7 TB of data on three disks to start to use it as it should be: hierarchically

However none of the two new folders (disks) items, when selected, appears in MSFS community.

Any clue ?

I asked Bard before posting and here is its answer:

«It seems like there is a bug in Addon Linker that prevents it from linking addons from later created directories.

This bug is being tracked by the developer of Addon Linker, and it is expected to be fixed in the next release.»

Do you confirm ? 😉 Anyhow, he knows you ...

And thank you so much for this game changer

This add-on is really a must-have. Also, it works just brilliantly.

I have configured my "community" add-ons in different folders for several islands (Canary Islands) and also other things like planes, external apps, and so on.

Now instead of having to start everything one by one, I just click one button and everything launches, even taking into account if the needed add-ons are activated or not!!

There's only one quality of life that I would like to see: it would be amazing that instead of having to open MSFS Addon Linker and clicking on the play button (which is the only thing I now need to do), it would be possible to have a direct link in the start menu to launch MSFS. That would be the absolute perfection!

A very important add-on to test the performance of freshly installed mods and to avoid clogging up the community folder with livery and aircraft updates. Thanks!

Très grand merci pour l'énorme travail accompli et la mise à disposition de cette application dont je ne peux plus me passer.
Les outils 'ModelLib Changer' et 'MaterielLibs Changer' permettent de régler rapidement les conflits sans fouiller dans les dossiers. Les dépendances et les presets font gagner beaucoup de temps et vider le Community avant les mises à jour est un jeu d'enfant.
Simple d'utilisation , rapide et efficace. Un Must.

The Addon Linker is a must-have. It helps you organise your community folder. It is easy to create directories and subdirectories to bring order to your addons.
Before each new flight in MSFS, I only load the addons I need for my route. Perfect

Hello, I have a question about the interface. I opened Options to make a change but I am unable to click the Okay button at the bottom because it is invisible. The Options window is larger than the rest of the Addons Linker interface. As there’s no scroll bar in it, I’m unable to press Okay to make my changes. I saw your suggestion to open UI options and click ‘Restore default windows positions’ and I did this but it did not change anything, I’m still unable to click Okay in Options. Is there a way to correct this? Thank you very much.

Is there a way to have addon linker physically move scenery files from one drive to the flightsim community folder when selected instead of linking the drive? That way I can store my scenery files on a slower drive and put them on my SSD when I want to use it

4 days ago

There is an option to move the file (manage addon -> move to community folder'). In the community panel there is also a 'move' option to bring it back to a 'custom folder'. Be aware that moving files outside of the community sometimes doesn't work if you have the MS-Store version because the files are sometimes encrypted. Would those options do the job for you ?

Thank you, Bad2000 for your interest in my battle with the Addons Linker. I did what somebody suggested and copied to my Community directory a few of my Aircrafts, Scenery and Liveries, just to see what happened. Everything I put in the Community folder showed up in the Sim, and I could use it. Now, why the Aircrafts, Liveries and sceneries do not appear in MSFS. I have no idea. I guess I'll keep adding stuff to the Community Folder and use MSFS until the CTD's show up again. Then I'll burn my computer and go back to painting... Let it be known that I love Addons Linker, It worked for me flawlessly for a long time until it turned against me a couple of months ago.

Are you maybe using network drives to store your addons ? That might be the reason why the link don't work ? Like i said in my private message, maybe send me some screenshots of what you see, it can maybe help understand better. Thank you.

Hello and thank you for your feedback, appreciated. Haha, no, Bard doesn't know me at all and just generated a random generic reply that would make sense for most people even if he (it) has no idea of what he's talking about ;). In the options screen of AL you can add the new folders ('my addons folders'), i guess you did that correctly. They will then show up in the left panel of the main screen, you can add several folders/disks and adding them afterwards is no problem. The community folder though has to be the real one used by the simulator, that one is unique because the sim can use only one community folder. So if all is set up correctly but the links are not created, it's maybe because you are using disks that are not formatted in NTFS. What kind of new disks have you setup, external ones ? Can you please check by doing 'right click -> properties' if they are formatted in NTFS (you will see an entry named 'File system'), if it's written 'File System : ExFAT' then that could be your issue because ExFat formatted disks are not compatible with 'links'. This is my first idea but i'm not sure if i understood the problem correctly, please send me some screenshots via PM with as much detail as possible on what you do and how if this first idea of the 'disk formatting issue' is not your issue. We will continue there (will be easier than in these little reply boxes'). Let me know, thank you.

Hi guys and gals, here is my story with MSFS Addons Linker:
I used MSFS Linker for a long time, it worked flawlessly always, no problems whatsoever. Last month, following my own stupid advice, I decided that I needed to clean-up my computer files because I was running short on disk space. No problem, said I, I have most of my downloaded files. So I reinstalled MSFS Addons Linker, and proceeded to set it up and reinstall a few airplanes, Scenery, and Liveries. None of the airplanes I installed show up in MSFS. None. I know I'm doing something wrong with this, but the problem is I have n idea what that mistake is, I have tried for the past month to figure out what I am doing wrong or not doing. I'm using WinRar and sometimes 7-Zip to decompress the zip files. I can't use MSFS without MSFS Addons Linker because I used to get a lot of CTD's with MSFS , And after using MSFS Addons Linke, I got no CTD's. Any help will be appreciated, PLEASE!!!

OH MY GOD this has absolutely transformed my sim! I had a dozen or so addons in my community folder but turns out they weren't actually being run in the sim, couldn't for the life of me figure it out and this has fixed that completely. The pdf how to guide is also very very useful, thank you!

I want to save the columns in a specific layout/view, is it possible to save them like that? Cannnot see an option like that on the column chooser.

12 days ago

Yes you can save the columns positions/size, it's in the right click menu. the option is called'save columns order/size', The columns will be restored on the next restart to the state they were when you use the the option.

Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated ! Not sure if it's exactly what you want but you can add a 'startsimandquit' argument to the EXE and it will lauch the sim (using AL settings) and then immediately quit AL. See pic below for the argument -> https://imgur.com/LBFrIhv

hi, in my game the mods i linked are not showing up. what have i done wrong?

19 days ago

hello, well i can't know what you did :) ... if the addons are showing correctly in AL (no 'could not read manifest.json file' visible) then maybe check what happens if you put an addon directly in the community folder, does it work ? I have seen in the past some people that had 2 different community folders when using the BETA and they were linking into the folder that was not used anymore (by enabling DEV mode inside the sim you can check the real folder used for the community folder). Send me maybe a screenshot of AL in a private message so i can check if i see something strange, unfortunately, like the 2 previous msgs, i can't really help just by reading 'it does not work' without seeing anything and without knowing exactly what is done are how things are configured. Thank you

It seems that the "Find duplicate airports" function is not working for me all of a sudden. Is this known bug from the last versions?

Hello, unfortunately 'not working' does not tell me much and i can't really help without knowing exactly what is happening. Do you have an error message ? is it just stopping midway through ? is it showing something strange ? Send me please some screenshots via PM if needed. Let me know thank you.

Hi, I'm having a MSFS Addons Linker melt down in my computer. It is an old version (0.18.8309.37823) I had four sub Dirs, Aircrafts, Liveries, Scenery and Utilities. It has worked for me for a long time until 3 days ago. I found I was missing a few airplanes, a few missing scenery, of course a few liveries and I'm about to delete the MSFS Addons Linker and the directory where I had been storing all of my MSFS stuff. I'm the only person in my home using my computer and my home is "ghosts' free" !!!

My plan for now is to delete all the MSFS Addons Linker and start from scratch.

Any suggestion from you will be appreciated

Hello, sorry for the troubles but, unfortunately, just by reading your message i can't figure out what is happening. Please send me a detailed description of the issue you are having with all the details you can give and with screenshots if possible. Hopefully if i can see what you are seeing in more details, i will be able to help. Let me know thank you.
