Just recently purchased and installed MSFS 2020.  The load said XBOX/Windows 10.  The file structure where it was loaded is entirely different form the FlightSim directories I was used to on FSX.  Everything is working fine, added scenery and planes from the Marketplace.   I would like to change the AI liveries from the megapack.   I realized the instructions seem to be  tailored toward a traditional directory load.  Are there 2 versions that can be downloaded XBOX and Windows (AND I MADE A MISTAKE) OR are all the new purchases coming in the XBOX/Windows format.  I believe there are more people when reading forum asking where the MSFS 2020 directory is located.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have moved your topic into the proper forum since your question had nothing to do with the AVSIM File Library.

Welcome to the forums! 😄

Hi Cprice317 and welcome to Avsim.

Now, what version have you purchased and installed?

From what you say so far I must assume MS Store.

Based on what you have reported, I would say that your installation is normal.

It is not the least bit like FSX, and many MS Games/XBox features will surprise and annoy you, if you are like the rest of us..

Get the MSFS Addons Linker program.. it makes addons a lot easier to manage!

Bert thanks so much.  I really though I had loaded the wrong version since when watching how to change AI aircraft liveries looked nothing like my file structure.  I have found the Community folder and that adds planes successfully by not the AI.  I will download the manager.
