TuiflyX3:
Why is fsx telling me that i have to "download the latest addonmanager"? i have installed it already severl times, but everytime the same message, this update system is really annoying. so where is this "manager"?

What do you mean with "I have installed it several times" ? It doesn't matter how many *times* you install it, it matters WHEN you installed the last time.

Since we had a major update less than 2 days ago, if the last time you installed was before than that, you have to download the new version and install it again, that's how a major upgrade works. After you do this, the message will go away until the NEXT update will released, but only another MAJOR update will require you to download the Addon Manager again, minor updates can be applied on the fly without even restarting FSX, the Live Update program will indicate quite clearly when the update doesn't require an FSX restart.

It obviously isn't, since with this method, when there'a a major upgrade, you can download a 14MB Addon Manager, instead of the full 60MB GSX installer, and it obviously isn't, since instead of you having to figure it out WHEN a new update is released, the program notifies you.

If you don't want to be bothered by the update, there's obviously an option to ignore it, so you won't be "disturbed" again until we'll release the NEXT update.

If you are complaining we are working too hard at it, and are releasing too many updates, than I guess this doesn't even deserve a comment...

i´m not complaining, it is just annoying when u trying to figure out the *first* time how these fsdreamteam products work..just dont get it why i then always have to redownload and reinstall this addonmanager, if there is a new update avaible..

TuiflyX3:
so now i had to reinstall this addonmanager because i could not install the new manager..and now GSX is gone, again, and now i can do everything again, install gsx new, so if i install now the new addonmanager , i dont have to install the last updates with the livery update right??

The GSX manual has a whole section in the last pages dedicated to explain the differences between minor and major updates.
