Config file location?

Featured Replies

Has anyone been able to find the location of the user cfg files (logbook, joystick & keyboard assignments, scenery order, etc.)?  I'm specifically interested in finding the logbook file to determine whether I can import my past logbook information into it.  I've noticed several config files in the Packages' LocalCache folder; but not the ones I'm looking for.

Probably too late to help you, but someone else might be looking. I see files in *FLIGHTSIMPATH*\LocalCache For many the flightsimpath is  %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\

Could be your install is from the Store and mine is Steam, maybe.

Jim, yes, you are right:

MSFS 2020 Windows Store version:

C:\Users*USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft .FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\UserCfg.opt


MSFS 2020 Steam version:

Changed it for better shadows. And the shadows got sharper indeed. No adverse behavior here. I have an 8GB VRAM card (Geforce 1080).
