This article covers the following platforms

To install a script package, extract it into your Community folder. To share your own scripts, export them with FlowShare.

Import

  1. Download the script package you want to install.
  2. Extract the zip into your Community folder — the folder where MSFS loads add-ons.
  3. Launch MSFS.
  4. Find the new scripts in the wheel editor.

Sharing

  1. Be in MSFS with Flow loaded.
  2. Launch FlowShare (get it here: https://parallel42.com/d?f=flowshare).
  3. The Toolbox Manager window opens. You can also find it under Dev Tools in the Settings.
  4. Select what you want to export and set the category names (see the Wheel editor sidebar).
  5. Click Export.
  6. Set the name of the package.
  7. Click Export.
  8. The package is saved to your Desktop.

For aircraft and scenery developers

FlowShare creates a Community-ready zip that is easy to install. To bundle scripts with your aircraft or scenery, extract the json file from the generated zip and put it in your own package. Make sure the json file has the same name as the package folder that contains it.

Example compiled structure:

Community\p42-scene-cedar-mountain\Flow\templates\p42-scene-cedar-mountain.json
