AP FS 2004Addit! Pro For Flight Simulator 2004 V6.4.1 is out! This latest release debuts the Addon History, a log of all addons added over time. When you import or install an addon, Addit! Pro records it in a log archive called the addon history. This new window lists everything in your addon history. Every addon you import appears here as does every addon you install. Even deleted addons are listed. Use the Addon History window to search for a previously installed an addon, locate an addon removed on a specific date, search for an old addon's zip filename and more!

Flip Bars now appear on many windows. A Flip Bar may contain a Search Bar, Filter Bar and Status Filter Bar. The Search Bar allows you to find specific items (and you can further refine your search to match case and whole words only). The Filter Bar allows you to weed out items you do not wish to see. The Status Filter Bar allows you to show or hide items based on their state or status. Open the Help system and search on "Getting Started with Flip Bars" for complete details.

A new Customization option allows you to look for new addons and import them automatically during startup. You can now decide whether or not to show the import options window before showing import addons window, toggle the Import Results window and specify exactly what to import. Another option allows you to automatically advance addon installation wizard steps, speeding up a run through the wizard considerably.

New toolbar buttons were added for Import Addons, Work With Installed Addons, Addon History, and Exit and all toolbar buttons are now customizable! You can choose which buttons to display and rearrange their order.

Other features include the ability to limit what is shown in some windows by Date Installed. Addon import search speed has greatly improved. A new Import Options button within the Import Addons window is available. You can now cancel an import, addon removal or reinstallation (click on the progress bar near the bottom). During installation, individual files can now be placed in Addit! Pro's storage folder. Lists are rebuilt faster after a status change in Edit Aircraft, Edit Panels and Edit Sounds. The Help System includes updates for all new features and changes and information is now better organized. This release also squashes a few bugs and improves addon installation for fewer "red dot" situations. Please see the Revision History for complete details. Here are a few screenshots:
