Community folder location in Steam?

Featured Replies

I had to do a full windows install and then the sim again in its entirety......... 26 hours..... lovely!

So, it is a Steam install to my D drive.

The steam folder structure has changed since my last install and the community folder is no longer in steam/steamapps/common/flightsim/community

Can anyone help? I tried googling but all the advice is from last year, nothing relating to SU5. The locations they suggest don't seem to exist in the same context anymore.

Cheers

I installed  using  steam, installed  to my  3rd  drive   and  named  the  folder  msfs  and  the  community  folder  is  under  there   so in  my  case  its  d/msfs/community or

While running MSFS 2020 do the following:

Go to Options / General

Click on "Developers" which you will find at the bottom of the list on the left

Switch Developers Mode on

On the Dev Menu select Tools / Virtual File System

The community folder location can be found under "Watched Bases"

Thanks Pete.

I was looking at it straight in the face! It was in D/SteamLibrary/Community.
