Mr. Javier "Thrawn" has given me permission to put together a NAVAL Installation package which includes an installer for his Nimitz v2.0. And, I'd like to include many tweaks, fixes, AI tracks, and Naval Missions packages along with my Aircraft Carrier configurations Tweaks into this one package (and, perhaps, even AICarriers).
You might ask "Why" do we need this, now? I feel, simply, that it would be much easier to install and use an integrated package; leaving out the need find items on different sites on the internet, then to edit and insert statements into CFG files, add Effect fixes and figure out HOW-TO and WHERE-TO install what files, etc. It cuts down on the time taken to read each packages TXT's, then customize and, finally, copy & paste all entries.
If everyone agrees, this package would do the following:- (Subject to change)
1. One Installation easy to install "Setup.exe" HIGHLY-compressed file (including everything) in one auto installer.
(ie. NO .Zip files and manual moving for files and folders).
2. Install to the correct locations (and give user the ability to define installation Paths).
3. Have a README (HTML and/or .PDF) with pictures, FAQ's, and How-to's instructions, etc. for all components in one file.
4. Include auto selection for differing feature installations and both versions of FSX (Acceleration or SP2).
5. Hidden Batch file driven processes (Customizable for UPGRADE component installations).
6. MUST BE FREEWARE and have appropriate credits.
7. Each sub-component (Package/Tweak) is independant upgradeable and easily integrateble.
I believe that I have a way to do this easily and, with your permission(s) & some aid in various doc.'s, suggestions, etc., would like to present a complete TEST Product within the next month(s).
