Martin Prepar3D. Easily install, manage and remove aircraft, adventures,
flights, flight plans, gauges, missions, panels, A.I. airport and facilities
data, scenery, sounds, textures, videos, weather and more!
Addon Repair
| The aircraft repair feature now automatically creates missing aircraft reference information sheets and checklists in html format. |
| Prepar3D v3 files can be used to repair Prepar3D v4 addons. This is
handy when an addon assumes you have effects, gauges, sounds, etc from the
other version. |
Customize
| Added an option under the category "Addon Installation", in the
section "Confirmation and Warnings". Your two choices for this option are
explained below. When installing a file that already exists:
Ask me what to do each time - if the file being installed already exists,
you will be prompted for instructions. This is the default.
Replace existing file if older - if the file being installed is newer than
the one that already exists, always overwrite it. Pick this option and you
will no longer see the Confirm File Replace dialog during installation;
Addit! Pro will decide what to do by comparing the date/time stamp of both
files.

Prepar3D v3 files to repair Prepar3D v4 addons. |

aircraft list. |
