If it needs to be installed into the main folder, it will not work.

I'll see if I can get it to work if reshade fails to work with SI 10. It should work with the store version.

Main installer just root to your sim.exe file thats it

It will not work with my store version. Unless someone hacks it like they did with reshade.

Be careful make a screenshot of your main sim folder before you load Reshade - to know what you will have to manually uninstall

I made the mistake of not doing so and now I think there may be few extra files that dont belong - this was before I found Gshade - I think its cleaned up well but best to take screenshot first - its a manual uninstall for reshade

Why not it should you just need to find the folder - its harder than steam version but should work - its not right protected is it - take ownership of that entire MSFS folder

I have the MS Store version of MSFS and I also could drop the files in the Flight Simulator folder 😊

This makes me wonder, am I the only one for whom the Flightsimulator.exe is no longer encrypted?

It happened when I reïnstalled the sim, MS Store told me to install via the Xbox app, the Xbox app asked me for a folder to install into, and voila: Everything there, unencrypted.

Where your folder located? Just checking to see if mine is different.

Already done that. I'll see if there's some other folder I don't know about.

Windows store version:
C:\Users<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Steam version:
steam\steamapps\common

Again, it's not going to work because that's not the location of fs.exe. Hence the reshade hack.

This is the location of my FlightSimulator.exe.

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.26.5.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

When you try to access the folder, even with permission, nothing can be added to the folder.

I could be wrong.

I'd like to say that I wish I would have done this sooner. It makes a huge difference. Reshade still kicks word not allowed. The "finallight" preset is really nice.

Thanks for heads up - actually not hard to do it your self also 🙂
