July 2006
 
Addit! Pro For Flight Simulator 2004, V6.4.7 is
now available!
This update introduces Merge Addons, a new feature
that allows you to combine two addons into one.
You might merge addons to apply an update to an existing
addon, to merge a standalone panel addon with an aircraft to form
a complete package, or to combine an aircraft skin/repaint with its base aircraft.
Scenery addons now install with
greater ease especially if they include several groups of
scenery files slated for different folders.
A new
destination option allows you to quickly install a scenery
group to Flight Simulator's Scenery\World\Scenery folder.
A similar option to quickly install a
texture group to
Flight Simulator's Scenery\World\Texture folder is also available.
The Work With Addons window
and Addon History window are now sortable by author, zip filename, file size,
file total, origin and rating. Right click and pick Customize to access
these new columns.
Install, manage and remove all kinds of movies
including in-flight videos, training movies and more using
Addit! Pro! Supports avi, mov, mpg, wmv and other file formats.
Within the Addon Installation Wizard,
you can type in a folder
name in any folder box where
you normally select an installation folder. There is no need to
navigate to the desired folder to select if you already know its name,
just enter it! If an addon lacks pictures, a message to that effect is shown in the Set
Picture sub-step.
The
Help system has been updated with all of the
latest changes and a couple of bugs have been fixed.
See
the Revision History for complete
details. Here are some screenshots:
