Feature request - Auto download/install

[Mark777]

I have been using FSUIPC for a very long time and as I reflect on where we are in 2025, I wonder if you can add a program that runs the update rather than having us download, unzip and install every time.  Almost all other flightsim addons now have an update program that user can run to easily update programs.  Thanks for considering this request.

This has been on my To-Do list for quite some time already - I will look into adding such functionality when time permits.

Thanks John, really looking forward to this addition to FSUIPC !!

What version(s) of FSUIPC are you using?

I have added this feature now to FSUIPC7 which will be available in the next release, and is also in the latest beta release of FSUIPC7, available here: 

I may add this to FSUIPC6 at some point, but probably not worth it at the moment as almost all development is now with FSUIPC7 and I am currently not planning much for FSUIPC6 - although I do need to release 6.2.2 with a minor update (new ini parameter AIAboveGroundLimit).

If using FSUIPC7, can you download and install that latest beta. You can then check/test the auto-download, unzip and install when I release that version officially, planned for the 14th Feb.

Cheers,

John
