I can add things and delete (so it isn't a huge deal), but when I want to move stuff out at first for patching it is a pain. I have to delete and then re-download or find my old files. I checked the file permissions on there and my account has full permissions, and I can delete and add, just not copy. Can you rename the folder? Something like 'community update' This will disable it and a new empty community file will be created while you update.

May 25, 20215 yr First flight in the update started fine taking off in the 172 at EGGD, but the approach path was well to the right of the runway (never an issue before), I've just emptied my community folder (included EGGD by UK2000), so will see if the issue just relates to the addon airport or is present in the default. Anyone else had any offset ILS beams that were not previously present yet? Edit - I think that may have been my fault forgetting to switch the Garmin from GPS to VLOC - will test again.

May 25, 20215 yr "We performed some optimization for the initial full download of the title so the base game is only 83GB instead of +170GB" WHAT!! They have brought down the initial file size for the whole game/sim by half! Talk about bloatware...huh! Maybe it'll run better now? 🥺

Anyone want to completely remove MSFS and re-install to check it out?

Maybe it'll run better now? 🥺 If I'm understanding the change correctly it won't have any effect on the actual folder contents just how you download them when you first install. Previously when you've installed MSFS from scratch you've downloaded the original release version and then every patch that has come after and installed then one on top of the other which had got to the stage of more than doubling the size of the download. Now it sounds like they have rebaselined the installation so that you just download packages containing the latest version.

What I do when an MSFS Update shows up is shut it down before it starts, then go to my File Manager & rename the Community Folder to say, Communityhold. Then run the update. I end up with Official, Community, & Communityhold folders. 'Community', generated by the update is empty & I delete it. Then I rename Communityhold to Community & run MSFS after that. Have had no problems with Community content after updates, doing it this way. TG
May 25, 20215 yr Update seems to have gone ok on this side! Will give it a test later on. Vote to fix transparent sun visors having no effect on the sun glare effect in MSFS at: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/sun-shades-sun-visors-not-influencing-light-in-cockpit/691565/
