• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi all,

I just uploaded InstallFS plugin for NSIS installers. NSIS is a popular platform for scripting installation programs, and InstallFS extends it by providing functions to deal with Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D.

At the moment, InstallFS allows to easily:
- retrieve paths (simulator's root folder, etc),
- check if a scenery is installed in Scenery Library,
- add and remove entries from Scenery Library,
- add and remove entries from dll.xml and exe.xml files.

Documentation:
http://www.flightsim.ee/download/dev/InstallFS.html

An example of a scenery installation script using InstallFS is also available. It places a default fire truck on the runway at EEPU.

Documentation, the example, and the plugin itself can be downloaded from here:
http://www.flightsim.ee/download/dev/InstallFS_1.0.103.0.zip

InstallFS has been in use with FSX to Prepar3D Migration Tool and with several sceneries with literally zero issues. If I did not screw anything up with the latest changes, it should be a pretty solid plugin for NSIS.

InstallFS is free for redistribution with non-commercial addons.
