Have something to say?
Auto manage/organize library files [PRO]
A function that will auto organize the file systems of all you add-ons. Make a neat folder structure for scenery, aircraft liveries etc for example that it auto applies.
Adding startup parameters to Flight Service apps
Let users add command-line start-up parameters to any EXE service they launch from PERFLIGHT, so tools that require specific flags can be started in the right mode (for example, running GSX/FSDT's Couatl_Updater.exe with /SILENT /INSTALLMODE=TRUE for an unattended update). A simple optional "Launch parameters" field on the service — entered space-separated, just like a desktop shortcut or Steam launch options — will be saved with the service and applied every time it's launched, with no command-line knowledge required. The underlying launch system already supports passing arguments; this adds the missing UI so users no longer have to edit the database by hand.
Duplicate addons in Libraries and Community (v1.4)
Story 11.5 was removed from v1.3.0 and will be addressed in the next release I want to be warned when the same addon exists both in my Community folder and in a managed library, So that I can avoid duplicate loads that cause unpredictable behavior in MSFS.
Help: Unable to uninstall Perflight for update
Hey team, Apologies if this isn’t the right channel for this. There’s a new Perflight update I’m trying to install which requires me to unininstall the current version (understandable). I’m running into an error uninstalling the app due to no uninstall.exe in my installed path of Perflight. I have also tried using the checkbox of the Perflight Installer (which I downloaded via Flightsim.to for the update) - no success. Is there another place Perflight is installed where I can access the uninstaller? I have currently installed Perflight in a custom location in my MSFS applications folder. Thanks for all your help and I appreciate the fact you’re taking my bugs and features onboard!
Bug > Feature - Addon Source Selection
A user reported a bug that choosing “iniBuilds” as the addon Source did not stick/save. This is a real bug, as the app was only legit saving 9 of the 17 options due to an oversight. The plan is to fix this right by moving the source list into a database table, allow users to add to it with future “Other” text inputs, making those sources valid for other addons as well.
When creating a new set, the UI should remain to allow multiple additions of addons (v1.4)
Current: When creating a new set, you can only add one addon before the UI is gone and then you have to add more addons to the set in the original interface Nice to have: When creating a new set, the same UI should remain so that more addons can be added to that same set by searching more. In the screenshot below you can see there is no addon selected. As soon as you search and select an addon the UI goes and the set is created. The UI should remain open until “Create Set” is pressed after adding the first addon. Thank you! Apologies again if this is already suggested or is in the pipeline. Nice to have.
Option to duplicate set (v1.4)
Perhaps in the Edit Set screen at the bottom, it would be great to have the option to duplicate a set if you just want to replace a certain add on rather than having to make a new one altogether. Just a nice to have, saves some time Apologies in advance if this is already in the pipeline or mentioned before!
Minimize app to System Tray
Either with or without a specific user setting (we have another story for multiple new user settings will add this to the list) as a User I would like to minimize the app into my system tray for easier use.
Automatically add service apps installed in default locations
Add a button so users can automatically search for and add all the default services which are installed in the default file path locations.
Reorder and group Flight Services
I would like to put the services list and icons into a custom order and separated into groups (types).
Bulk addon editing (v1.4)
Allow a user to select multiple addons to edit a shared value such as (and primarily) Source
Still need to override EXE selection for MS Store
Some users report that the app is not finding the executable, even with 2024 installations. Or the assumed location does not work correctly. We may need to allow MS Store installation the ability to lock in a fixed EXE location.
Report duplicate ModeLib and MateriaLibs files
Does this have the ability to check for duplicate ‘ModeLib & MateriaLibs’ files?
Addon Dependencies
Some addons require other addons to properly function. These are often reference to as “dependencies”. As a PERFLIGHT user, I would like to be able to specify if there are dependent addons (“When I enable KXYZ airport I need ABC Object Library to enable with it”). This feature exists within Addon Linker and PERFLIGHT should provide feature parity if possible.
Harden requirements for valid add-on
Ensure that manifest.json files contain the bare minimum fields we need. Testing revealed that the only data required as of v1.2.4 was this: "title": "Honolulu Control Facility", "creator": "SebPartof2", "release_notes": {"neutral": {"LastUpdate": "","OlderHistory": ""
Modify Community folder selection to allow parent folder
Even though we made a big deal out of this in the tutorial video, I would like to modify the app so it supports directly selecting the Community folder or the immediate parent folder. That way either way works!
Shutdown/minimize after launch
Have the option to minimize or terminate PERFLIGHT after launching the simulator (requested by flightsim.to@tottiwolfi)
Themes
Add the ability for users to change themes and some sort of extensible way for devs? Maybe using something like tailwind?
Community Folder Addon Management (Epic 11)
Make PERFLIGHT the "control tower" for the Community folder by: Scanning the Community folder to discover native addons and foreign junctions Displaying Community-resident addons in Card and Table views alongside managed addons Detecting and advising on foreign junctions (created by GSX, Addon Linker, etc.) Detecting conflicts when the same addon exists in both Community and a managed library Providing orphaned junction cleanup tools Watching the Community folder for real-time changes Building contextual intelligence patterns for well-known addons (Navigraph, GSX, FSLTL) via the existing Intelligence layer Goals: Give users complete visibility into what is in their Community folder at all times Surface Community-resident addons in the same views as managed addons Detect foreign junctions and advise users on unexpected Community folder contents Detect conflicts between Community addons and managed library addons Provide tools for orphaned junction cleanup (replacing manual cleanup) Deliver immediate value on fresh install by scanning Community before any libraries are added ==== original writeup by @naughtygnome ==== There are a number of add-ons that only allow you to directly install to the community folder, these can obviously be moved to a library later and activated via Perflight (or addon-manager) but in PERFLIGHT there is no way to see those add-ons as installed. For those addons that require installation in the Community folder, if we move them out to a library, resolving the issue above then it breaks the updating of them and we have to delete them from the library (or move them back first) then update / re-install the add-on Addon-Linker sorts this issue by having a combined view of those in the community folder and those in libraries for easy activation / deactivation I would like to request a feature similar to that so we can see add-ons directly installed in the community folder. :)
