Addit! Pro For Flight Simulator 2000

Introduction

Addit! Pro gives you the power to fully manage all of your Flight Simulator 2000 addons. Easily and quickly install new addons. Archive addons to Addit! Pro's File Cabinet or recreate them in folders or zip files. Removing addons is just as effortless. Assign new panels and sounds to your fleet of aircraft. Conflicts and configuration problems are identified before they cause any grief. Addit! Pro can even automatically update Flight Simulator's scenery library (Scenery.cfg). The program handles adventures, aircraft, flights, panels, scenery, sounds, textures, videos and more.

The Addon Wizard appears when you first start the program. The Addon Wizard lists all of Addit! Pro's core functions and provides a detailed description of each of them. Help is always available should you need it. Just press F1 or click on the Help button.

The Addon Installation Wizard makes installing addons a breeze. The Wizard allows you to quickly identify the files you want to install. It then handles the complicated and time-consuming task of installing files to their proper locations. Conflicts and problems are identified before they cause trouble. You'll know if any files will be overwritten. Addit! Pro keeps track of older files, restoring them later, as necessary.

You can import existing aircraft, panels and sounds. Addons designed for Flight Simulator 5 and Flight Simulator 95 can be automatically converted. Scenery can be easily installed to custom folders. Addit! Pro can even update Flight Simulator's scenery library, so you don't need to locate, arrange, prioritize and enable the scenery yourself.

Addons are easily managed once they're in Addit! Pro's database. Rename them as you see fit and enter optional descriptions. Examine addon files in detail, review documentation, view image files and play sound files. You can move addons to Addit! Pro's File Cabinet for safe keeping, recreate them in folders or zip files, or delete them. Removing addons is safe because Addit! Pro knows if other addons depend on the files being removed.

The Edit Aircraft window gives you the power to quickly change an aircraft's panel or sound. Assign pictures to aircraft and panels. Quickly open configuration files, checklists and reference files. Addit! Pro identifies configuration file errors and can generate a report explaining the problems. The Edit Panels and Edit Sounds windows provide similar functionality for panels and sounds.

The program is very customizable and it remembers your preferences. Sort lists by any column, show icons and quickly access files. You can also automatically optimize Addit! Pro's database, select a start-up window, set colors and more. Context menus are available for just about everything so when in doubt, right-click!

Addit! Pro uses a multiple document interface (MDI). This allows you to work with several windows simultaneously. While installing an aircraft addon you can also be examining your existing aircraft and browsing folders. Windows can be resized and repositioned and the program remembers their configuration for next time.

How Does it Work?

Say you just downloaded an aircraft addon and you want to use it with Flight Simulator. Just open Addit! Pro's Addon Installation Wizard and select the files. The program analyzes the addon to determine the best installation. Tweak the settings then press Finish. Your addon is installed and you can use it immediately. It's really that simple!

Managing the addons you install is equally painless. Quickly delete addons, move those you're not using to Addit! Pro's File Cabinet, and even recreate addons in folders or zip files. The addons you archive are automatically zipped to save disk space.

Use the Edit Aircraft display to quickly change any aircraft's panel or sound. Just pick an aircraft, select Change Panel or Change Sound, and choose a new item from the list. You can even assign pictures to aircraft and panels - in fact, several pictures are included to get you started!

The program is easy to use but if you need assistance, context sensitive help is only a key press away.
