• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

MSFS20 Package output options

When building a project in ADE F20, you are prompted to copy the package to the Community folder in your MSFS2020 installation. I keep my addons on another hard drive and use MSFS Addons Linker to create links from the Community folder to the folder in which my addons are actually stored. It would be great to have an option to send a copy of the package to a folder of my own choosing rather than limiting this to the official Community folder.

P.S. I did see that the Project Properties have a setting for Output Folder. But this only accepts relative paths and chokes on a full path with a drive letter and a colon.
 
I figured out an easy work-around that may work even better. I added my ADE Projects folder to the list of addon folders in MSFS Addons Linker, which allows me to create a symlink from the Community folder to the package folder of any ADE project I choose. That way, I no longer need to copy the ADE output to the Community at all. Through the use of the symlink, it is already there. Problem solved. 😊
