Problems with custom views

Featured Replies

Until now, everything were fine, I had custom views for all my planes.

Yesterday I had to fully reinstall my pc.

So I redownload FS2020 & install it. And now, when I want register some custom views, it doesn't work. The airplane file Simobject\Airplne\.. is empty, only the cfg file. Any ideas.

I recently had to temporarily move MSFS onto an external storage drive, and then shortly after, move it back to my main SDD on my PC.    When I copied the installation back over, several files were not copied because of some annoying flle name length bug in Windows (that has been around since Win 95 and is still there in Win 10).

I had the same as you describe - some planes only had the Simobjects and Airplane folders, with nothing inside them.

If you launch MSFS and go to your Profile page, then Content Manager, you may see that some of your planes and content are showing "Partially Installed", instead of "Installed".

You can click those and choose Download and will replace the missing content.
