In this video I talk about how to quickly re-install MSFS. When done correctly, only a 2GB download of the core sim files is required.

Topics:

  • How to quickly do a complete re-installation of MSFS if you already have an installation. With this method there is no need to re-download all the contents again. 
  • Overview of the MSFS main folders
  • Legacy vs modern installations
  • Clearing shader cache
  • Increase download speeds
