Rules for installing addons in AFS2

    Hi,

    I am a fresh user of AFS2

    I have bought some addons sceneries from aerosoft and orbx.

    It appears that the addons are not installed in the same directory.

    Aerosoft installs in documents/aerofly fs2/addons/scenery

    And orbx install in another directory beside AFS2 one named « aerofly fs2 addons ».

    So, what are the rules for installing addons in AFS2 and how AFS2 knows where to look for addon sceneries files ( for example the Martinique free scenery has to be installed mannually, so where to install it and how give the location info to AFS2?)

    Thanks, Patrice

    Hi Patrice,

    Good question, it is true that it is not very clear. first of all know that unlike FSX for example, no need to declare anything, AFS2 check addons folders at startup.

    then, for the two Addons folders this seems to be related to the steam version. I imagine that addons purchased on steam are installed in the steam folder and other addons are installed in the folder "My documents".

    For " La Martinique", in fact no matter where you install it... it should work. but since this is not a steam addon I will tend to choose the addon folder in "My Documents".
