Controllers - Saved setting files

[somiller 694]

I managed to delete my contoller settings files using the in-game menu, but I have a recent system image of all drives. Problem is I have no idea where MSFS saves the files. Does anybody know where those files are stored?

I bought and installed MSFS from the Microsoft Store - installed on my E:\ drive.

They're stored in the cloud. Question is, did deleting them here delete them too.

I'd try a repair install -  in windows - start/settings/apps Microsoft Flight SImulator - REPAIR - do not do the reset or the uninstall or you'll have to d/l 100G again.

 

hope it works.

Thanks for the quick reply Vic.

Actually I think I just found them. In this thread on the MSFS forums (https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/joystick-configuration-files/284640), first post shows the folders they're stored in and I checked on my system and the files are there. The ones I deleted are gone, but the current saved files are there. The files are xml's but are named with just a bunch of alpha-numeric characters with no extensions.

I ended up copying the contents from the files on my system image and replaced the contents of the active game files...AFTER I made backups of the active files.

To all:

I'm a bit confused about this.  Would someone please explain to me:

1) What is the "Community" folder?  What is the "Official" folder?  Where are they located?  

2) What is the content.xml file and where is that located.

Thanks,

Mike
