[How-to]What is the Community add-on, and do I need it?
Flight Deck needs a channel to talk to the MSFS avionics pages so it can press the buttons on the G1000, GTC and EFB.
- The first time you open the program, it automatically puts a small add-on into the MSFS Community folder.
- MSFS loads add-ons only at startup, so restart MSFS once after it's installed.
- You don't need to turn on Developer Mode in MSFS.
When MSFS updates, the program removes the old add-on automatically and rebuilds it on the next start. In the meantime, buttons go through a backup channel and keep working.
