I changed it this way but it reverts to the original c drive location every time I open the game.

in the not installed item I can view the packages but I can't install them. Any suggestions?

And the reverse: How do I prevent the sim from streaming a bespoke airport from the servers if I want to use a 3rd Party option instead? Haven't figured that one out.

Is anything in your new community folder?

My SSD drive is slowly but steadily filling up. Would anyone recommend to link the community folder to a regular separate HD, or should I keep it on the SSD? I have a pretty hefty system and don’t want this decision to impact performance, so I’d appreciate your advice.

Thanks in advance,

Pete

I think that you are almost certain to see a performance hit given the transfer rate of an SSD is 500 MBps and upwards to 3,500 MBps whereas HD's are limited to 30-150 MBps. Im in the same position as you at the moment and I think I will bite the bullet and buy a bigger SSD.

Even though I changed the path on the .cfg file, I still don't see anything showing up in my library from the community folder. MSFS24 doesn't seem to notice it, and in the library it does show the correct path on the D Drive. I tried installing FT CYYZ and it doesn't show up in the game.

Cheers, Pete

Hi,

Be careful!

I changed the path of my Community folder to the drive I have installed MS2024.

But, later (and not related to that, I suppose) I had a CTD and MS2024 reverted the Community folder to the C drive!

Greetings

 

I just noticed that mine has defaulted back - and prior to that I had a CTD.

In the mean time I’m still to get any addons to work, but have only tried a couple - inc Pilot plus EGGD

Ok I have the same issue I think, gui points to new community folder, and if I open that in the gui it does indeed open the right folder- which has pilot plus eggd in it - but it doesn’t work.

What is that "Official2020" folder for  ?

This is purely a guess/observation, but on my system it certainly looks like the stuff I bought from the store in MSFS2020. This would be reasonable as store purchases go in the official, not the community, folder.

I have changed the location of the community folder using both methods, in the library settings, and in the user,cfg fle. And no matter what I do it continuously changes back to the c drive. 

I even uninstalled and reinstalled msfs20224 making sure the correct drives were notated on my PC in the xbox app.

 

Any ideas??

I changed mine in the cfg and it has not reverted so far on steam.

Thanks Ryan! Works perfectly.

Mine defaulted back once as well, I believe after looking it up on the Library screen..

Did you manage to get the Blacksquare Duke fully working in MSFS2024?
