A. The Virtual File System (VFS) in Microsoft Flight Simulator relies on a layout.json file in the root of each package to determine which files it is allowed to load, and to perform a basic file integrity check.
Q. What does this application do?
A. The application will create/update a layout.json with all current files in the layout.json file's folder and subfolders. The following information is included with each file entry:
File path relative to layout.json (including extension)
Size (in bytes)
Last modified time (represented as a File Time)
The layout.json files generated by this application should be identical to those generated by Microsoft Flight Simulator. (Note: File order may vary, but shouldn't impact functionality of packages)
