June 24, 20241 yr 2 hours ago, micstatic said: agree. Even easier than marketplace is creating a custom community folder. For me an external drive. I keep all my scenery there, and then with addon linker create a virtual link to the custom community. If I ever need to reinstall MSFS, it's all there already untouched. Now as I say that, I really hope all that stuff works in 2024! Whenever I have installed MSFS, the community folder is always put on an external drive - is this just the Steam install allowing this?

What is the advantage of having the community folder on a separate drive? I have two very large NVMe drives, with plenty of space to put anything anywhere I want. Is it a performance issue? I’d love to see the app load faster if it helps with that. It’s ridiculously slow now. Pro-Sim A320 and MSFS 2024

I only install quality add-ons from a few select, reputable vendors (e.g., FlightBeam). This looks like a tool for freeware junkies with hundreds of add-ons, some maybe problematic that cause conflicts with others. My real question is, if “most everyone” is keeping things outside, then why? Am I missing out on something? I realize my question is out of scope of this thread. I mistakenly thought it was a simple one with a quick, one-line answer. My apologies. Pro-Sim A320 and MSFS 2024

It’s ridiculously slow now. For you, there's no advantage. I use my community folder on the same drive. Some people need to use the linkers because there isn't enough space. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel
June 25, 20241 yr Ok, you don't need the space, though most folks do. However it's probably not wise to load all your add-ons every time you start MSFS. That's where add-on linker comes into play. You only load the the stuff you're using in that session. Also the more you get into it, very soon you have gigabytes of stuff...it really adds up fast.
June 25, 20241 yr I always back up the Official folder mainly due to the teething problems MSFS had inn the early days. Then if there's ever a need to re-install the sim, it can be done in little over an hour. All my community folder is on another M2 drive, and linked by Addon Linker. With 8tb of storage, (All m2's) Back up's is not an issue.

Maybe this is unique to the Steam version? not what I'm talking about at all. I have the standard community location where the store version installs. I create a totally separate folder on another directory. I then download all my addons to that external folder. Then with the addon link program it creates a dynamic link from my custom folder to the default community folder. So nothing other than dynamic links reside in my default community folder. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
