Usage

• Open Git2FGPlaneCfg.txt and add/remove aircraft URL. One URL per line.
• Save it.
• Open Git2FGPlaneCfg.py and wait until your registered aircrafts gets updated.
• When it finishs updating will appear a confirmation message, just press ENTER on it to close Git2FGPlaneCfg.py
• Now all your updated aircraft should be located in "C:\Git2FGPlane\DownloadedAircrafts\DEVELOPERNAME\Aircraft\AIRCRAFTNAME" like "C:\Git2FGPlane\DownloadedAircrafts\FGMEMBERS\Aircraft\R22"
• Open FGFS Launcher.
• Go to Addons > Additional Aircraft Locations > + and add your Developer Aircraft path. Like C:\Git2FGPlane\DownloadedAircrafts\DEVELOPERNAME\Aircraft
• Then now you have all planes from this DEVELOPER in your launcher.
• Choose one aircraft and have a nice flight.

You'll need run Git2FGPlane.py when you need to update your aircrafts. It'll not runs by itself.

Git2FGPlane will update all aircrafts, so this process can take a long time.

Git2FGPlane will sometimes (if you try to change aircraft files) get an error and close. So you'll need undo this changes until continue updating others aircrafts.

Git2FGPlane do not allow file changes (add textures, sounds, fixes)... cause it maintain all aircrafts updated and try to delete local changes.

Git2FGPlane can be unstable.
