May 31, 20242 yr Used the sim several times today - I was experimenting with DX11 / DX12 and different controller devices. The sim ran perfectly and went to a normal completion each time I started and stopped it.. NOW - when I started the sim (Steam) again - Installation Manager demands I download 96.46 GB and is storing on Drive C despite my sim installation being on Drive I. The download is all the normal package stuff - microsoft-a320neo-1.0.17.fspackage.001 and so on .... Quick Update No Download required - the Installed Packages Path line in UserCfg was pointing at the incorrect path - SO - why did it change? Additionally - I found that DLSSG was set to 0 so I also lost fram gen. How does UserCfg suddenly change??

The download is all the normal package stuff - microsoft-a320neo-1.0.17.fspackage.001 and so on The release notes with the mandatory download describe 1.37.19.0 SDK Material Editor but what I am seeing is an entire reinstall. The top line of Installation Manager shows I am at 1.37.9.0 How do I stop it? Pause then Alt F4 stops the download but when I restart the sim -it goes back to Installation Manager and tries to install to the wrong path. Before pressing the “update” button, manually change the path displayed in the box to the correct drive and folder where your installation actually lives. If you do not do this, the sim will install to the wrong location.

The question is, who is modifying the UserCfg.opt. I'm not, I'm sure. Best regards Ralf Andreas
