Version 0.11.7841.25
June 20, 2021
Hello, a little update mainly to fix 3 little bugs introduced in the last version, i also already added a few requests (some are a bit experimental). I have a few more requests in the pipeline but i could not complete them for this version and i needed to release it because of those little bugs.
NOTE : make sure you replace all files when updating (there are some new files some files have the same name but they are updated)
- FIXED : right click menu on the main addons list was not keeping the selection if several items were selected (so it was impossible to do an action on multiple elements)
- FIXED : heading of aircraft on the map was depicted with a few degrees off due to magnetic variation
- FIXED : crash when loading flightplan on the map screen if the '.' was not set as decimal separator on Windows. Probably other issues with the decimal format should now be fixed
- IMPROVED : possibility to disable the automatic pause after teleporting the aircraft on the map (options screen). Note : if pause is active (recommended) to unpause you need to configure the 'PAUSE OFF' button, by default i think it is not set.
- IMPROVED : Added a new 'wait until simconnect is available' option before starting the programs. Note : this still need some tweaking, some of you probably would need this option to be settable for each program individually. I will try to do it (if needed) but that requires a complete overhaul of the way that 'launch program' options is currently programmed so i need a bit more time.
- IMPROVED : the right click option 'do not deselect this addon when applying preset' is now also available when multiple addons are selected
- NEW : possibility to display the default MSFS airports on the map (options screen). The airports will appear on the map only when certain level of zoom is reached (option) otherwise the map is a bit overwhelmed by the huge number of airports (37000+). Handcrafted default airports have a slighty different colors.
- NEW : possibility to load a Google Earth KMZ/KML file on the map to show custom points so you can then use the teleport function to visit them (beware if you add 10000's of new points because map performance will suffer a bit) (right click menu on the map)
- NEW : added a new option in the map right click menu -> locate airport (right click menu on the map)
- NEW : if the 'show user aircraft' option is enabled, the basic live aircraft data will be shown at the bottom of the map (speed / altitude / heading / VS)
Thank you -
Version 0.10.7829.39
June 08, 2021
Sorry for a little forced hotfix-update, i had to correct 3 little bugs that were introduced in the last version (+ quickly added 2 little easy requests)
FIX : Selection from the gallery screen was causing a crash (as seen in OverKill recent video, thank you ;) )
FIX : Removed 'folder' and 'scan time' from the auto-generated filter list on the right panel (was probably slowing down the panel for some of you with lots of addons and filtering those values makes no sense)
FIX : Fixed 'Show labels checkbox' being checked but no labels shown after reopening the map screen
NEW : possible to choose between the 'title' and the 'folder name' for the labels and tooltips of the map's dots (selectable in the options screen). If the title is not filled in the manifest.json file, the 'folder name' will be used regardless of this setting.
NEW : added counter for the number of folders in the community folder (right click menu in the community panel of the main screen). I will probably add those on all grid soon, it's sometimes nice to see how many elements are shown.
HELP : if you tried the 'teleport' function on the map, you will have noticed that sim is paused after the aircraft is moved, that's by design so it will let your scenery reload faster and you'll be ready to take control of your plane when you want and the sim is ready. I think the 'unpause' key is not mapped by default, so some of you might have been stuck, the unpause (PAUSE OFF) key has to be mapped as seen on the screen here --> https://imgur.com/Xb2yvGq (i can add an option to 'not pause' after moving if that requirement to map the 'pause off' key is too annoying)
** edit ** was already requested to remove the automatic pause (see HELP note above), i have uploaded an optional updated EXE with an additional option in the options screen to remove the PAUSE (all the rest is the same so no need to download it if you don't use that feature or don't care about that option). This will obviously also be included in the next official version.

Hopefully I didn't break anything this time, and thanks again to everyone who helped me with tests and feedback. -
Version 0.10.7827.17
June 06, 2021
hello, another little version, this time i tried to include a little map for easier activation/deactivation of addons (probably the most requested feature i had). I know it still has some shortcomings but i already release it 'as is' to have feedback and see if it's worth continuing working on the map or not.
- NEW : simple map to select / unselect addons
- IMPROVED : counter of addons on the folder level was only counting the addons in its own folders (1st level), now the counter correctly counts also what is in the subfolders
- IMPROVED : Little fixes here and there
- NOTE : make sure you replace all files and not just the EXE, some files have been updated and new files have been added
basic map usage (will try to do a little video or a pdf soon) :
- you can launch the map via the little button in the toolbar at the top
- To select multiple addons at once on the map use SHIFT + MOUSECLICK to draw a rectangle around the addons you want to select. CTRL + click let you multi-select single elements. If you want to add items to the selection, toggle the right click menu option called 'continuous selection'
- The options to activate/deactivate addons are in the right click menu of the map (red=link not activated / green = link activated / blue = selected).
- there is a little expandable filter panel on the right that can be shown when clicking on it (at the top)
- If you use the 'move aircraft option' and it will be placed at the altitude specified in the options panel. If its too high or low based on the current location, just change the altitude and click 'move user aircraft at altitude' and it will be instantly repositionned. If you are connected to the simulator you can also view the current aircraft position on the map. The idea is to be able to 'visit your addon' and check if they work without having to fly over them manually. (the move fuction is available in the right click menu of the grid and the map)
- You can also load a flightplan that will show on the map. The idea of this is showing where you will go and help selecting the addons you need.
- for addons that are not correctly recognized, you can edit their data with the right click option on the grid. I will try to improve some the 'recognition' with time
- The first loading of the map will be a bit slower because it will scan the addons, then the data will be saved so it should be quick.
- there are a few more options for the map in the usual 'options screen'
** HEAD UP **
my tool has become quite popular because, when it was released, there were not many alternatives, thank you all for you feedback. I just want to take advantage of this popularity to shift the spotlight to another developer doing an addon manager that has probably one gazillion (and a half) more options than mine --> https://flightsim.to/file/8349/mfs-addon-locator
I think he might be happy to see a few more users for his tool, based on the screenshots and features lists it's seems way more complete than mine and most of the stuff seems to be done automatically, so probably some of you will prefer that (not even speaking about the map features that seem to be way more advanced than my new tiny little map). It's based on the same idea as mine (links to community folder). With 115 updates in 115 days (something i wouldn't be able to do for sure) it's needless to say that he working actively on his tool and his skill level is probably around 500% higher than mine :)
My tool was the first around and was released 9 months ago, since then a lot has changed and some poeple now have several thousands of addons. So yeah this little 'head up' is just to let you kow there are alternatives if you weren't aware of that. Seeing the effort he put in his tool i think that guy deserves a bit of more visibility. I make 0.00$ with this tool so it's pleasure to share this info, would probably be different if i sold it haha :)
To be honest i haven't tested that other tool because mine is obviously tailored for my own need and i don't have that many addons, but for some of you it might be a step up.
That being said, NO WORRY, if you still like my tool i will continue to work on it based on your feedback and request like i always did.
Thank you.

Version 0.9.7799.243
May 09, 2021
hello, a little update with a few requests filled :
NEW : MaterialLibs folder renamer. It will work like the 'modellib file renamer' and will prevent having several subfolders with the same name in the materiallibs folder (can cause MSFS crashes as explained here : https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/ctds-caused-by-3rd-party-airports/339377/47). As always with these options that change files on your disk and that are a bit more advanced, use them only if you know and understand what they do.
NEW : You can now specify that an addon will never be disabled when you apply a preset even if the preset does not contain it. You can set that value by checking the 'Exclude from preset' column or by using the right click menu 'do not deselct this addon when applying presets'
NEW : You can now install addons using the 7Zip file format (7z)
NEW : You can now drag&drop addons (zip/rar/7z) from the Windows explorer directly on the tool main view and the installation will begin (drop the files on the folder where you want them to be installed)
** edit ** sorry, i just notcied (thanks fifuke) that Windows doesn't allow drag/drop when a program is run as admin, please check the FAQ on the main page if you need some info about the 'run as admin' situation, i'll try to figure out a solution ** end of edit **
IMPROVED : there are no more limits on dependencies, now a dependency can have it's own dependencies (multi-level dependencies are now supported)
IMPROVED : You can now select multiple addons for installation/update
IMPROVED : The grid view now allows you to save the column order/size (right click menu)
MISC : Little fixes here and there
Thanks as always to the people who contributed with feedback and ideas.
Frequently Asked
Questions? Find your solution here.
Simply unzip all included file in the zip in a folder of your choice. For updating, repeat the same process after deleting the files that came with the previous version.
Yes, the settings are saved in a different folder (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker). The presets are also stored in that folder by default but they might be in another folder if you changed their locations in the options screen (so make sure you don't delete them if you changed the location manually).
yes, there is an option for that in the right click menu (save columns order / size). If you do that, the column order will be restored on the next restart of the tool
oops, the tool saves it's locations when closed. If you change monitor settings between 2 sessions (for example going form dual screen setup to a single screen setup) it might happen that the screen is restored outside of the boundaries of your current screen, so it will be there but you wont' see it :)
You can fix that easily by going to the configuration folder (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker), open the ini file with notepad and remove the tree lines below :
Window_Position=
Window_Splitter_Pos=
Window_Splitter_PosH=
On the next restart the app should show up correctly on your screen.
This is unfortunately an issue some users having the MS-Store version faced. When addons are placed in the community folder they are somewhat encrypted (not exactly sure what Windows does). When you move them elsewhere, they don't work anymore. It seems to be a Windows limitation and there's not much we can do. For some users copying the addons instead of moving them fixed the issue but that doesn't seem to work for everyone. In the worst case you would need to redownload the addons having the problem and place them directly in your custom addon folder.
please send me a private message on this site (there is a little option 'private message to bad2000' in the action menu on the main addon page) with the detailed error message that you get. I'll do my best to try to fix
yes, you can do that either by using the 'presets screen' available in the toolbar menu, in that screen you can select several presets and apply them at once. You can also use the button 'apply cumulative' at the bottom of the addons list. That button will apply the selection of the presets without removing the currently selected addons.
this is normal because if you do operations via the Windows explorer the links can not be maintained (for renaming for example there is an option directly in the tool's right click menu, if you do that inside the tool the link will be maintained by the tool). Anyway if you get invalid links you can delete them easily with the right click menu 'delete invalid links' on the right panel (they can be spotted easily because they will be with a red background), then just recreate the link for the desired addon.
Well there are now other tools now that do pretty much the same as mine and that already include maps. So my prototype with a map for which i posted some screnshots a few months ago has been pretty much been discontinued for now. Not sure if i'll work on that anymore (i really don't want to enter competition with other addons, if others are better it's very ok for me, all this is just for fun for me)
there is none .. shame on me for sure ;) It should be fairly easy to use though and feel free to ask if you have any questions.
There are also some videos about the tool that have been popping up on Youtube, they can certainly help understanding the basics (many thanks to their authors).
Thank you very much about thinking about making a donation. I really appreciate that but it's ok, there's already so much stuff to pay for nowadays, just enjoy the little tool if you think it can be useful for you and don't worry about money.
To remove completely the application you need to remove two folders.
- the folder in which you unzipped all files
- the configuration folder that is created automatically when the tool is run for the first time and where your settings are saved (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker)
if you do that it will be like if you had never installed the tool.
The real reply would be NO. But well, it's a bit difficult, the more precise reply is 'not anymore since v0.8' but YES if you have already used older version of the tool.
Unfortunately it was required for earlier version (because the tool was creating links that needed admin rights, now not anymore). The fact that it was required in earlier versions means that now your configuration files are saved 'as admin' and if you run the tool 'not as admin' you wouldn't be able to update them so you are pretty much forced to continue running the tool as admin. It's a bit annoying.
Feel free to contact me if you need more info and don't want to run it 'as admin' anymore because it would be as simple as recreating your configuration files without admin rights.
The red color is just a warning (everything will work fine). It indicates that you have two (or more) addons with the same name in different folders. Those are probably duplicates that need to be checked.

Makes it so easy to manage addons! Plus the dev is super responsive and helpful.

Incredible !!! I did a review in Portuguese. Because your software is mandatory! Thanks for developing and sharing.

Thank you very much for the feedback and super thanks the great video. It looks really cool. I will add a link to it in the next version, it will certainly help some portuguese speaking users.
Btw, when moving the aircraft by default it's paused and you need to use the PAUSE OFF key so you can continue the flight, the key is not set by default (see pic here --> https://imgur.com/Xb2yvGq ). In the options screen there is also an option to remove the pause so you won't need to map the key if you don't want to.
Much appreciated, thanks again 😊
Judenilson 18 hour(s) ago
Thank you for information about the pause. I updated the describe of the video.

there is always a missing file error and i could not handle to create another addon folder to deactivate my addons on community folder. I can't use it.
bad2000 3 day(s) ago
hello, can't really know what's happening just by reading your msg, please send me a private message (click on my nick in blue just under the pictures on the right) with the full text of the error and, if possible, also an image of what you are seeing. Please give all the info you can, the more i have the more chance i will have to find what's wrong. I will check later tonight after work. Thank you.

Hi, I 'm wondering if I can also use this tool to manage sceneries I purchased and which are stored in the ‘Onestore’ folder ? I think this is possible but would like to have your thoughts. Thank you and keep going with your awesome Job and Talent !
bad2000 3 day(s) ago
yes there is a way but it's a bit more advanced and for experienced user. I know it works fine with Steam insallations but there might be some restrictions with Store versions due to Windows rights management, i will send you some info about that this evening after work so you will be able to try if it can work for you (check your private messages later this evenning at the top of the page, thank you).

seeing a video on this i would like to get it but my winzip trial expired 😞
bad2000 5 day(s) ago
hello, winzip is not really needed anymore nowadays. Windows 10 comes with it's own unzipper built-in, or if you want and prefer to use a tool that is like winzip, you can install the great 7zip that is 100% free and that will extract all sort of compressed files (zip, rar, 7z, ...). I have been using it for years and it's great --> https://www.7-zip.org/

I have many category folders in explorer in my temp community folder I deleted a file from the aircraft folder now linker shows the folder at the bottom with no aircraft listings inside it. however all the aircraft are listed on the right side listing in linker how do I get the full aircraft folder back? I have a screenshot but don't know how to add it.
bad2000 5 day(s) ago
hello, not sure exactly what you did but if you manually removed some manifest.json file the folders will not be recognized as addons anymore. You can send me a private msg if you want to attach pictures (there is a big button that allows you to attach images), let me know thank you.

I have long been completely impressed by this program, and I've posted a variety of comments attesting to this fact. Now, its going on a year, and I use this every single time I start MSFS. I just can't imagine using the sim without it. New features have been added frequently and one of my favorites is the teleport option. Even the best IRL pilot has faceplanted their tail dragger in MSFS at least once. This can be especially annoying after a long bush trip. As long as you have crashes disabled, I've found the teleport feature to be invaluable. Just pause the sim, use the linker to lift your plane 10 feet and bingo! I have also tested it when playing around with the more aerobatic planes and maneuvers. If you screw up your hammer head and end up plowing into the ground upside down, just teleport yourself a few thousand feet up. Yes, you be upside down to start, but just do your best to level the nose and then let go, it will recover on its own. Over correcting is killer, but you always have the ability to teleport back and erase your mistakes. I just want to highlight one of the many abilities of this program that I couldn't live without. Thanks again for creating and sharing!
bad2000 6 day(s) ago
thank you very much for your very nice feedback, much appreciated. Maybe i can if it's possible to put the airplane back straight if the pitch exceeds a certain limit when respawning, that might help when acrobatics go wrong 😊
FlyMe2Dunoon
Really useful app to have, thanks for making it. I particularly like the ability to start up other apps as it starts FS, that's very helpful. But is there a way to stop them opening minimised on the taskbar?
bad2000 7 day(s) ago
thank you very much for your feedback. Yes, i just checked checked the code and noticed i added something to start them minimized. I will make that optional so you will be able to choose what you prefer.
thisisgraham
Thank you so much for this, it's an awesome app to handle addons (and more!). My only suggestion of something that could be included: the ability to choose the process priority level to run MSFS under. I know a lot of us manually jump into the task manager after launching MSFS to change the priority to 'High' performance in order to get the most bang for our buck, but adding that into this tool as an option would be awesome (and fairly easy I image since it's just a START process.exe /High command!).
bad2000 7 day(s) ago
Hello, thank you very much for your feedeback. I will certainly check that and add it for the next version.
steveli
I like the map, which shows the position of airplane. Can you also add the trace line of airplane flying path on the map so that we can trace the flight path easily? Thanks.
bad2000 8 day(s) ago
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion, i have added the aircraft path, will be included in the next version --> https://imgur.com/hWfmnoW

Would you know how to change /direct to another Community folder ..? I had connected well external HD's Community (and it has links) to folder where most of my files are, but would want to scan original Community on C: and whenever I try to point to it, that linker's page will close/disappear of the screen. It has almost by default that Community folder with links so not easy to change it.
nikolatr 11 day(s) ago
Actually, woul slightly rephrase question. I was able to pint to Community on C:, acc. to one YT video, but there are a few items that were in red and cannot be converted to green by a simple clickin on it.. Do i have to have exactly the same files in both Community folder on C: and D: ?
bad2000 11 day(s) ago
hello, sorry but i'm not sure i understand correctly your question. You can have only 1 community folder, that's the one that is created by the sim you can not change that one or have multiple community folders.
But you can change your 'custom addons folders' and have as many as you wish (selectable in the options screen). But well you probably know that already so i probably don't understand your question. I also don't understand when you say 'do i have to have the same on C: and D.', sorry. Can you maybe send me a private message with some screenshots of what you see (main screen, option screen) and what you are trying to achieve exactly. Thank you.

I've installed the app and it worked like a charm.. until recently. This is the log I get and not quite sure what I need to do (already de-installed and re-install the app, no luck). Any guidance would really be appreciated!!

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

thank you for the feedback and sorry for the trouble. It seems that something happens while the tool scans your addon folder, probably some kind of folder it can't read for some reason, an invalid folder (broken link?) or some issue with folder length being over the limit, really not sure what happens there but the error message is quite clear (the tool calls a windows function that should list the folders and it crashes). So probably a folder or something you added there recently make it crash.
I will need to send you a debug version to try to find out what folder is causing the problem, unfortunately i can't do it right now (very late here) and tomorrow i'm working all day so i'll have to make you wait until tomorrow evening (CET time), sorry. I will send you a private message when it's ready (if you find out what it is before please let me know). Thank you.

i've sent you the DEBUG version, please check your private msg, thank you.

What would I do without the linker? Perhaps wait for days for MSFS to start?
Just one question: Is there an option to disable questions like: "Are you sure you want to copy..."? Or, if not so, could this be made an option? Thanks!
bad2000 16 day(s) ago
hello, thanks for you feedback, yeah i can certainly remove them. It was just to make sure people are aware of what they are doing for some operations, but yeah after a while if you how it works it probably gets annoying, i will add an option for that.
pmb 14 day(s) ago
Thank you. Yes, I wouldn't completely remove the hint, some people prefer it for safety reasons. Just making it a checkbox somewhere in the menu would be great.

Hi, I have a problem with my addons Linker. Do you have a Discord or something like that, where we can talk? Its very difficult and i asked the support from mfs and they had no idea what the problem is. Could you please help me? If you dont want talk on discord, we can also write, but it is easier to talk.
have a nice day,
Nico

Hello, sorry to read you're having problems, i don't have discord but i will send you a private message on this site and you can tell me there exactly what you are experiencing (you can also attach images in the private chat). Thank you.

I now have a number of presets. Can I edit across all of them if I want to a new aircraft or other file?
bad2000 18 day(s) ago
hello, no it's not possible atm to add an addon in all presets at the same time. Hopefully i'll be able to add something like that in the future. Just for info if maybe you are not aware of that, If you have some addons that you always want to be enabled wihtout adding them to presets you can use the new option 'exclude from preset' that was introduced a few weeks ago. With that you can specify addons that will stay enable no matter what presets you will apply.

Gibt es das auch irgendwann auf deutsch ?
bad2000 21 day(s) ago
hello, unfortunately for now it's not really multi-language. If you need help, check maybe this video by Jaydee, it's very well done in German -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sU-NSY84xc

Many thanks for a brilliant utility...
Is there any chance of adding a Print Option?..
bad2000 21 day(s) ago
Thank you for the feedback. You can export the data into an XLSX spreadsheet if you want so then you would be able to print it (right click menu in the main panel or even in the grid view that is maybe easier to print). Can this maybe do the job, or did you need to print something else ?

Thank you very much... That works fine...
