Title: Add-on
Post by KConlon on Apr 22^nd, 2020 at 11:26am

With this version of the 767, will you be using the add-on xml method to allow for installation of the aircraft in the P3dV>x> addon folder or will it still install in simobjects/aircraft/ like the 757 does?
Thanks
Kevin

Using the addon.xml does 2 things mainly.

1. Keeps your main sim folder clean. Using the xml allows you to install the product outside the main folder, keeping the main sim folder uncluttered and clean.

2. Allows for easier sim upgrades. When new updates come out for the sim, a lot of us usually do a full install of the sim. This means anything in the main sim folder will usually go with it. If its installed with xml, you can just leave the product untouched, and when you load the new install, it will be there ready to go, from the first load.

I always do a full install of any P3D updates too. I unistall P3D, reboot my computer, install the new P3D version, reboot my computer.
Because the Captain Sim aircraft are not uninstalled by the P3D uninstall, both P3D, and the Captain Sim aircraft always work fine after it's done.
I've never had any issues with P3D because of doing it that way.
