April 2, 20233 yr Everything is working fine after a new motherboard upgrade with the exception of one thing. After going back to Steam and uninstalling MSFS and then installing to a new drive, MSFS is somehow reverting back to the old drive where it no longer resides. As a result the old version starts up and then crashes part way through. I thought it may be a registry problem but that checks out. Has anyone else had this problem ? Any help will be much appreciated.

April 3, 20233 yr I think after mobo change you should format c drive and install os and other things again... if not you can have many problems. Just keep your scenery folders. C. Uygar Aircraft Maint. Engineer. at LTFJ
April 3, 20233 yr Open usercfg.opt (the one related to the new install), scroll down to the bottom line, and make sure it is the path of your new install location.

I think your original settings are stored in the cloud, so what you need is to make sure your config file point at the new MSFS disk location, as @bobcat999 suggests.

April 4, 20233 yr Author Hello, thankyou for all of your help, I have located the usercfg.opt file but not where I was expecting to be. However, at the bottom of the page is C:\users\cstum\appdata\roaming\microsoft flight simulator\ packages. Is this the right place?

If that is where your community and official folders are located then it is correct, if they aren’t in that location, then you need to change it to the path of where they are actually located.
April 5, 20233 yr Author Thank you for all your help, I've sorted it now and I've put it in my C drive under C\:MSFS. In the end, it was quite straight forward.
