Is there any way to get into Content Manager OUTSIDE of MSFS2020 ?

I found on YouTube a very quick way to reinstall 2020, but it requires going to Content Manager to reinstall - but can't even start 2020.

Sounds like you may be asking for trouble.  Your original post was done 9h ago and just a routine uninstall/reinstall, and you'd already be up and running.  I've done 2 reinstalls and they both went smoothly, and do not demand hardly any input from the user.

Go for it. And don't forget that you need to delete a ton of registry keys. 🙂

May the force be with you,

Hi Dave,

I can't help you with the content manager, but I have found and used a different way for a quick reinstall:

  1. Copy the Official / Packages folder somewhere safe. (Or rename it temporarily) (This is the bulk of the data)

  2. Uninstall then re-install MSFS

  3. Copy the Official / Packages folder back to where you want it before starting MSFS

  4. Start MSFS, when it asks where the data folder should be, navigate back to where you put the Packages folder.

MSFS won’t re-download any of the Packages folder. However, it will check for corrupt files and  update it if it is out of date.

I don't take credit for this, found it online months ago. It really works

very quick, just rename the packages folder instead of copying it somewhere.

Good luck

Mick

I would love for a way to browse the marketplace or content manager without starting MSFS, but unfortunately I do not see that happening anytime soon (if ever).
