I got MSFS from the MS store, and asked it to install on my D drive, which was successful. I appreciate that even so, parts of it are still on the C drive. I've got 1 Community folder on the C drive:

Placed at the Windows C:/User/AppData etc /Packages, and another at New Volume D:/MSFS/Community

When I installed Just Flights Arrow 3 (bought from Just Flight not the MS Store)- it didn't ask me where to put it, and installed to the C drive Community folder, and it didn't show up in the simulator.

I also installed the Next Gen Bandeirante, also purchased from Just Flight, and during the install, it told me it had detected my MSFS was installed on my D drive, and was I happy to proceed with that - I was, and it showed up fine in the Community folder on the D drive.

I contacted Just Flight and they suggested moving the Arrow to the Community folder on the D drive, which I did, and it worked fine.

So what's the purpose of the Community folder on the C drive? Should I always put Add-ons in the Community folder on the D drive?

Thanks

The Community folder in the Install folder is the correct one. (Your Drive D). Microsoft loves drive C:\ and installs supporting folders there (even if they are not needed)

Msfs always uses the folder you pointed it to during the installation data download. In your case obviously on drive D. As far as I understand, the app just ignores any other community folder and you should ignore it too. 🙂

Thanks Guys,

That was what I suspected. but good to have it confirmed.
