How many add-ons can I add?

[Phiz]

I'm reinstalling  stacks of scenery, and the library routine of Add, OK, switch off fs9, switch on fs9 is a pain. Rather than repeating it for every single one, is it possible to Add a number of them - Add, Ok, Add, Ok, Add,Ok - before switching off, and if so, what would the limit be?

Yes it is possible. Just add as much as you want, shut down, restart FS and it should be working. By my knowledge there is no limit.

Thanks, guys. What a wonderfully helpful forum this is - I wish I had discovered it years ago!

One point. While it is possible to activate as many new scenery areas in one go as you wish, this might not be such a good idea. If there's some sort of problem or conflict caused by one of them, doing it this way will make it much more difficult to track down the culprit & correct the problem. Some of the new areas might not be installed correctly or even work at all & you will never know so there's no point in installing them in the first place.

I install all my addons one at a time & carefully check each one out in the sim before installing another one. I suspect that this is the main reason that I've had very few problems with addons for all the M$ sims over the last 7 years.

Good point. Thanks.

Something else you might want to think of is to make unique folders for each area. By that I mean if you want to add some scenery for say France than make a folder inside of the addon scenery folder called France than make the other needed Scenery & Texture folders inside the France folder. By doing this you know exactly what scenery is inside eaqch folder.
I am a firm beleiver in the K.I.S.S. method you know KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID.
