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
