I was browsing the other day to see whats new for CFS2. I went to a Website call Absquad. I have not been there for over a year. Boy was I suprise to so how many new improvement where available for downloads not only for CFS2 but also for CFS1. The best thing about them its that they all carry their own installation. In another word the arthur of each improvement was kind enough to include a installation program. You do not have to manually install any of them.

Be careful when installing anything to CFS2. The reason I say this it because in my experience its better to install one program at a time.

I generally advise people to be very wary of these auto-install files. This might be hypocritical as some of my own files are configured to do just that. It's much safer to redirect the install path to a Temp folder & install the files manually. Then, if anything goes wrong (& it will) you know exactly where the files are cos you put them there yourself. Nobody should need an auto-install file to install a simple addon like a CFS2 aircraft. It only takes a few minutes to find out how to do it properly.

I Agree Hangar with your comments. I myself prefer to do it manually. Understand some people do not know how install things as you do. I accept that your mothod probably is the best way to do it. But their should always be options of on how you want to improve CFS2.

I'm sure I speak for many of us simmers, but I really appreciate the hard work done by all the designers out there.  I used to be heavily into building model planes (plastics) but the prices are getting too high (I have a wife and kids to support) and with flight sims you can actuall fly the things!  Flight sims are a great way to relax and with all the addons available it seems like it never gets old.

Thanks again for all the great work!
