Where on this green earth is the MSFS2024 Community folder?

Featured Replies

And if it does not yet exist on my system after initial MSFS2024 install, how to create/initialize it?  So far I cannot locate it after finally successfully installing and starting MSFS2024.

I am by no means a novice!

You can move the community folder as well so it doesn't clog your C drive.. see the video below by Overkill...

Is this also the location for the Steam version?

Sorry the store version, but the path names should be the same (Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community)

Why on earth doesn't MSFS 2024 give you the option of specifying the Community Folder location during the install?

Because Addon Linker just moves folder links from folders to another folder, it should work equally well in fs2024 with not many changes. Flightsim.to will tell us when it's ready.

** 18.11.2024 i will try to update this description in the coming days witn instructions for MSFS2024, for now please check the what's new, it's just about running the new EXE, thank you **

 

" For MSFS2020 you don't need to change anything it will continue to work as it was before. If you want to use AL also for 2024, just create a new shortcut to the new EXE (MSFS_AddonsLinker_2024.exe). You will then be able to set your specific settings for 2024 (the community folder will be different). You can use the same source folders for both versions if the addons are compatible between the 2 versions to avoid duplicating files. Both versions can be run at the same time if needed (for example if you want to copy your settings). "

Hi,

I can't find the Community folder either!

The path described in this post does not exist in my case.

G:\MS2024\Limitless\Content  ... ?

And no community folder whatsoever!

Install the EVERYTHING app. It's brilliant for anyone wanting to find anything on the increasingly cryptic Windows platform. Install as service to work best.

Then search for ...well you don't need any help with that!

SO, does this mean I can keep my AL folder for 2020 and just copy the new AL version into another folder to be used for 2024? To one per MSFS? 

 

EDIT reading helps. so AL comes with 2 exes, one for 2020 and one for 2024. good, will try

EDIT2 Moving the Community Folder worked seemingly, created F:\MSFS2024\Packages (since I let install MSFS2024 obviously in F:\MSFS2024) so I have all in once place, like it tidy. Made changes to that cfg and MSFS2024 restarts, activiated packages (again) and now I am in the main menu. Next will be trying to link AL2024 to that new community folder...

EDIT3 seems to work, added ini LOWI and it not only shows up in 2024 but also seems to work

Screenshot-2846.png

EDIT4 they had a long way to LOWI...

Screenshot-2847.png

EDIT5 ini LOWI needs to be delete, it is not fully compatible with the landclasses, found big holes in the taxiway and bumps on the rwy

No need to edit anything. 

In game goto Marketplace-> my library 

Then click the cog next to search box. It opens an dialog for you to point to your community folder
