August 4, 20214 yr I purchased the sim from the Microsoft Store and when I am presented with the drive list, I am not seeing my G: drive. This drive is a fast external SSD on USB3.1. Every other game I own is installed on this drive and performance has not been an issue, and that's with major AAA titles like CyberPunk and AC: Valhalla on it. I have no other option ... I won't have enough on C which my OS SSD, and D is a mechanical drive and will be too slow. I see the drive in Windows Explorer.

I just wondered why the 123.0 GB is in red? Personally I would not attempt to fly MSFS through a USB 3.1 connection, but admittedly I have not attempted to do so.

Personally I would not attempt to fly MSFS through a USB 3.1 connection, but admittedly I have not attempted to do so. It's because the C drive is currently selected which only has 84.1. If I hover over D is turns green. The problem is there is no G. According to the documentation, on the 3.1 Gen 2 interface this drive supports extremely high transfer rates compared to the mechanical D drive, which FS has no problem installing on. Quote With Samsung V-NAND flash memory and a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface, the T5 provides transfer speeds of up to 540 MB/s No other extremely heavy IO games like Cyberpunk 2077 cause an issue, they only get limited by my GPU and CPU. I suppose I'll ask Microsoft support :)
