Question about Addons_Linker

[falcon409]

I tried this early on in my MSFS move and got it so messed up I had to start all over again with aircraft, scenery and other addons. That was several years ago and I've accumulated so much now that I thought I'd give it another go.

According to the readme if I have the MS-Store version it may not work due to encryption concerns (I do). I'd like to hear from anyone who has had experience with that particular scenario and if you were successful using Linker or if it isn't worth the bother.

I have the MS store version of MSFS 2020 and '24 and use Addon Linker. Very happy. I couldn't stay on top of things without it.

Using since my own switch to 2020. No major issues lately, I did notice some add-ons seem to work better in the default Community folder verse the linked system. Also learned about the encrypted Asobo set up with Market Place purchases, so I try to not buy there. I have a basic folder structure set up on another drive for aircraft/liveries/scenery etc for Linker to read from. Download a new livery off Flightsim.to, add to the proper folder and then make sure it's checked after starting Linker. I then start M2020 from Linker menu. Hate the json system, used to the old way of making changes outside of the sim, now I have to remember to run MSFSLayoutGenerator.

Works well for me in 2020 - always start from the Linker menu.
