install_addon.py

Python script for correctly install 3rd-party add-ons into YSFlight folder.

• http://ysflight.in.coocan.jp/ysflight/ysflight/auto_test_scripts.zip

This script covers majority of the add-on packages I downloaded from the web. It assumes that the user data is under User or user sub-directory somewhere in the .zip file.

Windows doesn't care about capitalization, but Linux and macOS do.

Therefore, this script looks into .lst files and correct capitalization if the file name in the .lst file does not match the capitalization of the actual file.

Now at least I can test that the program does not crash or freeze if I install add-on packages in a batch!

Of course you need to have Python installed on your system to use this script.

This script has been tested with Python 3.6. It may run with Python 2.x, but I haven't tested.

BSD License. Free for re-distribution. Please feel free to customize for your own add-on package and bundle with package.

Usage:

$ python install_addon.py package_zip_file.zip

or

$ python install_addon.py package_zip_file.zip install_directory

If you do not specify the install_directory, the script installs to the default YSFLIGHT user directory (~/Documents/YSFLIGHT.COM/YSFLIGHT)
