August 7, 20223 yr Hi everyone I wanted to ask where the best place is to install MS2020 I have loads of space on my SSD so is it better to let it install to the default location or create a folder such as C:\MS2020 ? Thanks in advance P
August 7, 20223 yr It is easier to manage if you let the game install itself in whatever default location it wants, and when you run it the first time, and it asks you to select a folder for the game packages, you should select a folder outside of the game install folder, like C:\MSFS or whatever is most convenient for you.
August 7, 20223 yr Some time ago, for similar reasons I reinstalled to D. This works without issues now. It has caused some problems in the beginning, but I think those are solved now. It will still install a few folders on C, but when updating it always correctly finds the right folder on D and updates without issues. Laminar Research customer -- Asobo/MS customer -- not an X-Aviation customer - or am I? 😉
August 7, 20223 yr I have a dedicated drive for Steam and MSFS, and everything works fine. No problems with installing third party add-ons, or updates from Asobo. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
August 8, 20223 yr I second having a separate, dedicated drive just for MSFS. I try to keep my C drive as clean as possible, as it is usually the easiest and fastest drive to fill up. Also, having MSFS along with the Community folder on their own drive simply makes it easier to keep things organized as you install addons for MSFS over time. I further have a separate drive for all flight sim related utility programs (Navigraph, PMDG Ops Center, Orbx app etc.). AMD Ryzen 9900X3D & ASUS X870E Gaming Plus MB, w/64 Gb GSkill DDR5 RAM, PNY RTX 5090 GPU, lots of SSD's and M.2 drives, HAVN Case, Virpil VPC Panels 2 and 3, Virpil Constellation Alpha Stick, Virpil Rotor TCS Plus w/ Hawk-60 Collective grip, TM TCA Yoke Boeing Edition, TM HOTAS A-10 and F/A-18 Sticks and TM TPR Rudder pedals.

August 8, 20223 yr Make sure you get the freeware Addons Linker app, it will simplify your life a lot.. 🙂 https://flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker Bert
August 8, 20223 yr I use a dedicated ssd M2 drive for the app, best way to go . I have Steam and all my addons go nicely into the Community folder.
