P3D V4 Aircraft Location

Hi Russel

I read in your news forum which is now locked that FS Force2 now only works with default aircraft and aircraft installed to the P3D root? A2A and hopefully other developers are now following LM guide to install to add-ons folder in documents. This is a much better approach in that any add on installed there will not be affected by a P3D update. You mentioned that your problem was that a user could change that location and you wouldn't know where to look. My suggestion is to add a user input to FSF so the user could specify the location path then FSF checks both that location and the P3D root.

I know you suggested symbolic links but a lot of users myself included do not understand them and it sounds like you could really screw up a system?

Thanks
Terry

Yes, I've considered something like that. Just need to allocate some time to actually make the necessary changes.

When I park at EHAM i.e. C12, I can move the jetways. But they dont align properly to the aircraft. Can I alter the settings anywhere so that they do align properly?

Until Russell updates FSForce, you can create a Symbolic Link:

MAKE SURE: you rename the Simobjects\Airplane folder temporarily to Airplane1, then create the symbolic link, then take all contents of Airplane1 and paste into the new Airplane Sym Link folder.

Actually, since v2.12.0.0026 FS Force has had the capability to recognize aircraft that are not installed in the default locations. See the Appendix C in the Getting Started guide for more info.
