I own the Premium version of the A300; however, every time I update it, it ends up showing the Compatible version as installed.

Even though I uninstalled the version shown as Compatible and installed the Premium version, it keeps showing this wrong version.

This doesn't make any sense because in Addons Linker, it shows Premium version 1.08 as installed, and nothing about the 1.15 version of the compatible version being installed.

I tried one more time - I "installed" the Premium version again. It downloaded all the files, installed them, and then it showed as Installed. I then exited and reloaded the iniManager app and, same thing as above - it shows Compatible as being installed and Premium as not - even though the version number is 1.08.

Hi, in the IniManager Settings select Sim Paths and then in there if your path groups are enabled which I assume they are since you use addon linker. Disable it if it isn't already. Let me know if this helps. The way I have addon linker set up requires that I disable the Sim Paths shown in the top right of the second photo since my sceneries are externally loaded and my aircraft in the community folder, whenever I update I have to disable the simpaths in order for the aircraft to update

Hi, this is how I have it set up. I have just one sim path, the default one. Anything there that isn't right? I have one folder in Addons Linker for 2020-only addons from ini and another for ones installed for 2024.


EDIT: ah, so I see what might be going on here: I need to create a second path group and set them up similar to yours?

Nope, didn't work. :( This is what I'm seeing now: the Compatible version is both Installed and Uninstalled.

My sim paths looks like this:

And that actually made the problem worse, since I can't now enable or disable the A300 from Addons Linker.

Yeah, you beat me to saying you don't have to make it the same as mine as your file setup is designed for aircraft inside of the Addon Linker and not the Sim itself

So I'm guessing there is a compatibility issue with the Addons Linker app?

So this is what I have, right after I reinstall the premium A300. All good so far. At the moment, the plane is not enabled in the addons linker:

And in sim is it showing 1.0.8 now or still .7?

No, sorry, I typed too soon.

I deleted everything I had installed from the iniManager in the addons linker folder and started from fresh. I set the sim path to the same folder in addons linker for both 2020 and 2024, to see what would happen. Unfortunately, it's the same problem - even after reinstalling the Premium version, it shows the compatible one as installed.

This is my manifest.json file contents: clearly 1.0.8:

So at this point I'm stumped.

Yet, in the app, it doesn't even show the right one installed

I'll ask the team for more advice, you could try restarting the PC and then running the Manager in Admin mode and see if that makes a difference

Thanks, going to try something else here in the meantime.

Alright, in case the team asks: I had iniManager scan for my 2024 installation (and 2020, which came up blank, so I left that field empty). After that, I had the app install the A300 directly into my Community folder, and... same issue. ☹️ It will initally show the 2024 Premium version as correctly installed, but upon reloading the app, it all goes sideways and shows the Compatible version as the only one installed.

The Manifest file does show 1.0.8 as being installed.
