Quite frankly, you do not find anything easier for offline PC??
Why would automatically require internet access.
What is the next step, internet access for validation during install ?
I bought ALL your paywares (not 3D lights) because the install method does not require internet.
Why force me for patchs?
OK, this has me pretty confused. You have to have internet to download the original aircraft and the patches for manual installation. How is this different than needing internet to download and install the patches with this fantastically easy new patch method that scans all of your A2A aircraft at once and only offers the updates that may be needed?

English is not natural for me, but I'll try to be clear.
When I buy an addon (with updates), I transfer the ".exe",with a USB key to an external hard drive backup.
If I need to re-install FSX or change my computer, I connect the backup drive and I click on each addons + patchs.
It's easy, safe, fast and clean.
With the new system I need to transfer ALL FILES from internet in a fastidious long way and restart the work every time for new update.
"The new system"
1-Offline computer (transfer original data)
2-USB key
3-Online Computer (transfer original data and modified)
4-USB key
5-Offline computer (Files modifieds and end of patch process).
It's not easy, not clean and NOT FAST
This is manageable for very few addons not for plenty.
If all publishers adopt this system it becomes unmanageable for customers who are not connected computers.
I love A2A (The best work for FSX (For me)),but if A2A want to force me with online method, I do not longer will buy for their work.
I hope to make me understand and I'm sorry for my bad language.
