README
AeroMod is a lightweight, user-friendly addon manager built for
Microsoft Flight Simulator that lets you manager your addons effortlessly.
## Features
- ✅ **Enable / Disable Addons** – Instantly toggle addons on or off without moving files around.
- 📦 **Install / Uninstall Addons** – Seamlessly add or remove addons with just a few clicks.
- 🛠️ **Verify Addon Files** – Check for missing or corrupted files to ensure addon integrity.
- 🔍 **Search Addons** – Quickly find the addon you're looking for.
- 🧩 **View Addon Details** – See important info like type, author, and version.
- ⚙️ **Presets** – Create and manage addon presets for different flight scenarios.
- 🗺️ **Scenery Map** – Visualize your scenery addons on a map.
## How It Works
AeroMod uses symbolic links to manage addons. This approach offers several advantages:
- 🚀 **Better Performance** - No lengthy file copying operations.
- 🍃 **Disk Space Efficiency** - Addons are stored in one location, eliminating duplicates.
