Er!k 572 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 @Mathijs Kok I am really enthousiastic about Aerosoft One! Nicely done! I have migrated all my MSFS add-ons. Some products are not compatible yet (Reggio Calabria and Mykonos). Will they be added in the future? Then I can ditch the old Aerosoft Updater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmb 139 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Based on the contributions above, Aerosoft ONE seems to be out. Maybe I'm getting a bit too old, but I don't see a forum thread with a download link nor an announcement on the AS Storefront or an E-Mail notification. Is there a way to get it or is it still only available for beta testers? Thanks and kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin A. Muegge 57 Posted September 3, 2021 Root Admin Share Posted September 3, 2021 Hello, well, we officially released One initially only with the Orbx addons. That's why there was only one news article in the FS area: https://www.aerosoft.com/en/flight-simulation/news/available-now-orbx-products Via the Landigpage, One can also be used without Orbx addons. On this page you will also find a list of the addons supported by One. Landingpage We will gradually add more addons, and new addons (MSFS, XPLane11, P3DV4/V5) will also be supported by One if possible. Of course, we will announce more changes and news about One.

Er!k 572 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Another question, I found Trondheim was updated to v1.0.8.0. But Aerosoft One is still on v1.0.7.0. I thought the whole purpose of Aerosoft One was to make these kind of updates faster available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted September 8, 2021 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 8, 2021 Unfortunately AO is not able to handle add-ons which have been installed before through the standard installer. Even if the add-on is "supported" by AO, you have to uninstall it and then install it through AO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the add-on is "supported" by AO, you have to uninstall it and then install it through AO. That's what I just figured. Given I have tons of Aerosoft addons, it will take me some time to re-install them. The good thing is I'll have to do this (hopefully) only once and for all, so be it. A related question: Will AO work with sceneries shifted to another place after installation and symbolically linked? I have so many addons, the sim would take days to startup, thus I use the Addon Linker to enable them in groups. ORBX Central does recognize ORBX (and partner) addons which I shifted into the Addon Linker repository path (of course only when the symbolic links are set active by the Addon Linker). On the other hand, some LVFR sceneries I installed via Contrail do not work this way, i.e., they MUST be installed directly in the Community folder to be recognized.

Cygnific 4 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 What's the reason to use symbolic links over direct community folder installing? I'm not a fan of spreading my install folders to other places then where they "should" be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of spreading my install folders to other places then where they "should" be. You can organize addons in groups. I have groups for several countries and a few special ones (GNS750 or AI addons) which I only want to activate on a per-case base. Startup time of the simulator is depended on the number of addons in the Community folder. I detected it would rise considerably (10...15 min) only a few weeks after release of MSFS. After shifting the addons to a separate external folder using the Addon Linker https://de.flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker they are back to normal since. This addon linker isn't something exotic, it is widely used in the community. All this isn't an issue if you only have a hand full of addons, notably smaller ones, of course. I might add, I have a VERY stable system, compared to what I read in fora elsewhere. Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauer 31 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hi - Is there a possibility to save a default location for the Aerosoft One Library? In my case my simulator runs from my F: drive and thus Aerosoft One keeps defaulting to F:\Aerosoft One Library whilst I actually opt for the custom location D:\FLTSIM_PROGS\Aerosoft One Library\ The reason being that my ORBX library is also under the latter directory. Is it possible to adjust Aerosoft One Library so that it ONLY asks the default drive the first time only and thereafter selects the custom drive at all times? Just a thought... Thank you / danke.

Der Merowinger 162 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 AO uses symbolic links and addon manager does it too. Is there a way to have the AO library can be read out by addon manager for using it in the manager like other addons too? Michael, did you check this already?

Kai No, I didn't actually (re-)install my addons via AO. Will do so, perhaps beginning with a few ones to learn how it works. That would be great, of course, if working this way.

Kind regards, Michael I never use any of those programs and have 276 GB of data in community alone, takes 3 minutes to load into menu and maybe another 3 to load into a airport. I hardly have issues and most of them are due to some add-on/mod that is not compatible anymore after a update. The only thing I do is disable a lot of background processes and remove a load of crap companies install these days that arn't needed to have a working OS.

Der Merowinger 162 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Addon Manager is a wonderful tool, comparible with simstarter for P3D a little bit. A very easy and comfortable way to have only these addons active I like to use at the moment. Very helpful to handle the tons of freeware which are out already and for evaluating purposes IMHO.

Belga 22 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I also use Addon Linker right from its first version and never had any issues with it. MSFS is running rock stable on my system. Regarding Aerosoft One: After installing my airports and the CRJ, I moved the folders where I wanted them using the "Move to" function in Addon Linker. I even renamed the folders for my convenience. The addons are still recognized as installed by AO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belga 22 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Actually it does, albeit the update will of course be installed in the default AO folder again, so you'll have to move it as described after updating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb 139 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I tried something else for interplay of AO and the Addon Linker. AO provides an option to install into a library different from the /Community folder, individually upon each installation. I uninstalled and reinstalled SimWings EDDH and EDDM choosing the Germany section of my Linker library L:\MSFS Addons\Germany as a target. Installation went flawlessly, and upon activation via the Linker both Sceneries seem to work without issues. This would allow activating/deactivating them via the linker and on the other hand I expect updates to go directly into the folder where I installed both. Now that's clearly a preliminary result. AO actually advises AGAINST installation into different folders than /Community (albeit the option is there). I can indeed imagine there will be addons (notably of the tools class, or planes) which do not work properly this way. On the other hand, normal airports should work. To summarize: I do NOT suggest trying this if you are not an experienced simmer (me for >30 years now) and PLEASE do not ask Aerosoft for support if it does not work. If you try this, despite, please report your findings in this place. I myself will reinstall my Aerosoft airports this way by and by (while I will leave planes and tools in the /Community folder).
