January 29, 20251 yr That would have been my reaction if I had to re-install 2020. However, I didn't have to worry when my 2024 drive died last night. Installation was 6.5gb that took a few minutes to install (Steam). Started 2024 and pointed it to the drive where my community folder resides - seconds. All of my controller settings, career mode progress and all other settings were remembered from the cloud. 2024 based in the cloud, I salute you 😎 CPU Ryzen 7800X 3D RAM 32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz GPU GEFORCE RTX 4090 Monitor AOC AGON AG352UCG UltraWide G-Sync @ 3440x1440 Internal Storage 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD External Storage Three 4Tb HDs
January 29, 20251 yr Yes. Very true. Just as an FYI....when I had to reinstall 2020 about a week ago, I just removed the OneStore (copied and paste somewhere else), then reinstalled. Then put the folder back in its original location. 2020 installed within like 10-15 minutes. It recognized the previous 2020 onestore folder. Just an FYI. But having to reinstall 2024 overall is just easier. 7800+4090+64ram Just Flight RJ, 146 and F28, Piper Arrows ---A2A Aerostar and Comanche---Black Square Starship, Duke(s), TBM, Bonanza/BaronV2, KingAir---FSReborn FSR500---COWS Da42---FX P180, HJet & VJet---FlySimWare Chancellor and LearJet---FlightSimStudio EMB175 &P2006T---Fenix 320---PMDG DC6, 737(700+900), 777---C22J---Milviz Cessna 310 & Porter---SimWorksStudios Kodiak, PC12, Zenith & RV14---BigRadials Goose---IndiaFoxEcho MB3339+F35.

With all due respect, keeping the vast majority of the files is not reinstalling. On the subject, I agree that, for example, the update to the beta version that was, for me only 9.5 GB is a very welcome change from the 441 GB MSFS Official folder.
January 29, 20251 yr Reinstalling 2024 feels like less of a hassle than loading 2020 up for a flight. 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.

January 29, 20251 yr The MSFS 2024 install doesn't feel like an install. That said it is easy to participate in the beta. Maybe SU2 for me as I enjoy flying in 2024 so much. dd

Most of the reason for the reinstallation of 2020 has little to do with the 2020 OneStore Folder though. Most of the issues are from mods/addons etc. But if these are all removed and you've tried everything then copying this folder to a different location (and the putting back when reinstalling). But ah. It doesn't really matter. 2024 installs a lot faster. Its hardly a blip in comparison to a lot of software. A few days ago, when I reinstalled 2024 to try it again (after nuking it in frustration) it was like less than 7 minutes. Another 9 or so for the beta yesterday. It is bliss. Now that Fenix, some JF planes and my BS KA and Bonanza work. I am happy with it for a while. Even the Cessna 310 is working fairly well. 7800+4090+64ram Just Flight RJ, 146 and F28, Piper Arrows ---A2A Aerostar and Comanche---Black Square Starship, Duke(s), TBM, Bonanza/BaronV2, KingAir---FSReborn FSR500---COWS Da42---FX P180, HJet & VJet---FlySimWare Chancellor and LearJet---FlightSimStudio EMB175 &P2006T---Fenix 320---PMDG DC6, 737(700+900), 777---C22J---Milviz Cessna 310 & Porter---SimWorksStudios Kodiak, PC12, Zenith & RV14---BigRadials Goose---IndiaFoxEcho MB3339+F35.
