I simply drop my unzipped addons in SteamLibrary\Community. Then the sim creates some obscure files in Roaming\Packages, not in the other Community which is empty but in ad hoc folders for each aircraft. Care to comment ? Copy the contents of the ZIP file to your community folder. The default locations are Windows Store: C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_[RANDOM LETTERS]\LocalCache\Packages\Community Steam: C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community Or C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightDashboard_[RANDOM LETTERS]\LocalCache\Packages\Community No idea really. Is it your first post SU5 plane? Maybe its a new thing introduced for some reasons. We used the original way and the one recommended by the sdk to compile it.

As I never had any of the installation problems with Steam (unzipping into SteamLibrary\Community) many seem to have with the MS store , I will continue to hold to the old way 😉.

August 22, 20214 yr This is an intriguing question. The files with some obscure name I referred to upthread, which are in roaming/packages, are, all thing considered, certainly symbolic links to my SteamLibrary. So your instructions are not wrong if disconcerting for me. I have never seen such a convoluted architecture in any game or sim. As the French saying goes, pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire compliqué.

August 22, 20214 yr The flying stork was famous as France's great ace Guynemer's squadron emblem. Their Nieuport 17's being called the silver hawk. https://www.historynet.com/build-your-own-most-famous-stork.htm The most famous emblem on wwi planes for Americans was probably The Hat in the Ring (e.g. Eddie Richenbacker the famous Indy 500 racer and combat ace). This is a spad, but the American squadrons' other common plane was the Nieuport 27. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
