Would be good to have an “are you sure?” red warning rather than outright refusing.

Tbh, updating and uninstalling should be outright refused while MSFS is open. Installing, okay, it's not gonna destroy anything, the addon is just not going to appear in the current instance.

Restarting a flight will reload most things from disk, and quick reload in the behaviour window reloads everything else from disk, so it’s quite useful for power users to be able to do it.

We're frequently discussing with users if removing all other addons except for the A32NX means that there can still be other aircraft, sceneries and liveries in the community folder or not. I don't think we can expect everyone to reload via the dev tools after updating.

Power users are not the ones coming for support.

Yeah but we don't only build the installer for power users. In that regard, protecting the average end user and lowering the support volume is of higher priority to me. Maybe we can think about an override switch in the developer settings.

MSFS addon linker does exactly what I had in mind, only we could be a little more forceful with colour.
