Changed the folder location in UserCfg.opt to reflect the new folder I created however when I run the sim I get "you are missing packages that are essential to run Microsoft flight simulator please update the application and try again" during loading. There are no options apart from exiting at that point. Any suggestions ? Yes....your folder name where your community and official folders live has to include the "packages" folder So in your example it should be... D:\Games\MSFS\Packages\Community D:\Games\MSFS\Packages\Official Obviously you just have ONE packages folder which should contain both Community and Official.

No Packages folder for me: InstalledPackagesPath "D:\MSFS" and then I have: D:\MSFS\Community D:\MSFS\Official Has been like that since August 2020.

I have the exact same folder structure. No need for a "packages" folder here.

December 18, 20232 yr The easiest way to transfer MSFS (Store) to a new bigger SSD for me is clone disk with program like EasyUS Partition Master. Then change disk letter and that's it.

Then change disk letter and that's it. Cloning is not only easiest but also the safest. If you use symbolic links for your addons, with moving or copying they can be transformed into actual files. And it is not only MSFS Addon Linker that use these symbolic links. Aerosoft One, Orbx Central and a few others also can use this method to install addons. So before you start moving or copying it might be a good idea to first disable the symbolic links.
