Addit! Pro For Flight Simulator 98

What's the best way to backup the program?

To backup Addit! Pro V3.x, you need to perform two steps:

1.  Make copies of the program and data files.
Save all files and all folders in your Addit! Pro folder structure.  For example, if you installed the program to 'C:\Program Files\Addit! Pro FS 98\' you would save:
     C:\Program Files\Addit! Pro FS 98\
     C:\Program Files\Addit! Pro FS 98\Addons\      (and all subfolders beneath this one)
     C:\Program Files\Addit! Pro FS 98\Backups\
     C:\Program Files\Addit! Pro FS 98\Cabinet\      (and all subfolders beneath this one)
     C:\Program Files\Addit! Pro FS 98\Images\
     C:\Program Files\Addit! Pro FS 98\Originals\    (and all subfolders beneath this one)
     C:\Program Files\Addit! Pro FS 98\Settings\
To restore the backup, simply copy these files back to their original location (see note below).

2.  Export the program's registry data (optional).
You can also save Addit! Pro's registry information.  This will save your registration name and unlocking number and your program settings.  To do so follow these instructions:
     1.  Press the Start button, select Run and enter 'Regedit.exe'.
     2.  Using Regedit, navigate to the following key:
       My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Addit! Pro For Flight Simulator 98
     3.  Highlight the key 'Addit! Pro For Flight Simulator 98'.
     4.  Pull down the Registry menu and select Export.
     5.  Enter a filename such as 'C:\Addit! Pro FS 98 Registry Data - July 1, 1999'.
     6.  Make sure 'Selected branch' is chosen under 'Export range'.
     7.  Select Save.
To restore the registry data, open Windows Explorer then double click on the file you saved ('C:\Addit! Pro FS 98 Registry Data - July 1, 1999.reg' in the above example).  

Backup FAQ

Does Addit! Pro store any data files in Flight Simulator's folder structure?
Addit! Pro may create backup copies of your World.vis file.  It may also create backup panel and sound configuration files (these have the extension '.apb').

Can I restore or move Addit! Pro to a different drive or folder?
Flight Simulator hard codes some information and depends on paths staying the same.    The same is true for Addit! Pro.  So, moving either will cause problems.    The bottom line is you should reinstall the applications, not move them.

What information does Addit! Pro store in the registry?
The program stores program settings in the registry at this location:
     My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Addit! Pro For Flight Simulator 98
Addon information is stored in the database (Additpro.mdb) and not in the registry.    That's why backing up the registry is optional.  You won't lose any addon information if you forget to backup the registry.
