          • - Massively fixed symlink detection and handling
          • - Add big warning around moving mod install folder (not recommend)

          V.1.0.2

          This is a bugfix release that fixes issues surrounding changing the location of the mod install folder.

          • - Completely forgot to touch this part of the code while doing the symlink upgrade
          • - Massively fixed symlink detection and handling
          • - Add big warning around moving mod install folder (not recommend)
          • - Ensure new mod install folder location is not within sim install directory 

          V.1.0.1

          • Fixed a bug where .rar files would not extract if WinRar was installed.

          V.1.0.0

          After many late nights, I'm ready to release 1.0.0! The major change is that this release includes support for symlinks and caching! This should massively increase the performance of the program overall. No action is required as the program will automatically handle existing mod installation transparently.

          • Mods are now installed into the disabled mod storage folder and a Windows directory junction is created to your MSFS install
          • Disabling/enabling a mod is now just a matter of creating/deleting a symlink, and thus is far quicker
          • Mod manifests are now cached, so the refresh after enabling/disabling should be extremely fast
          • Removed the timeout entirely from the backup function
          • Manually installing mods into the Community folder will still function without issue. If you disable this mod, it will be copied into the mod storage folder like before. Re-enabling it, however, will not copy it back but rather create a symlink.
          • All these performance improvements will not affect new mod installs. These archives still need to be extracted, analyzed, and copied into the correct directory.

          • Minor improvements related to installations with symlinks.

          • - Add magic prefix for too-long path names on Windows (#44)
          • - Remove extracted archive caching for now, as it sometimes caused weird

          V.0.5.3

          Matching Theme (V.0.3.3)

          A custom-designed theme to roughly match the MSFS UI is optionally available. This is a very early external mod manager for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator.

          No Need to Reinstall Anything (V.0.3.3)

          The program parses the native game files, so you do not need to reinstall all of your mods to take advantage of the features of this mod manager.

          Mod Info (V.0.3.3)

          View info about a mod and quickly open the directory it is located in.

          Backups (V.0.3.3)

          Easily create backups of all of your enabled mods, in case you need to reinstall your game.

          Automatic Installation Detection

          The program automatically tries to determine where the sim is installed, for you. No rooting around inside the AppData folder.


          If the program can't automatically find the installation folder (you put it somewhere non-standard), you can manually select the location that contains The Community and Official folders.


          This is normally %USER%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages or %USER%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages unless you manually selected a different location

          Super Easy Mod Installs

          The program will extract an archive, find all mods inside, and install them inside the correct folder automatically.
