Speaking of 2024 Folder Location

Featured Replies

I haven't seen or found a way to locate the MSFS 2024 folder where you want it. I don't want to locate folders in obscure locations that are difficult to find like MS favors.

Something like D:\Flight Simulation\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 like I currently use

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Darryl

You can move Community and Official in the My Library section of msfs2024. Use the smaller of the two ships wheel icon.

You have to set it where you want it to go in the Xbox app when you install it.

Start Xbox app. Click your username at the top left of the window then click "settings".

In the new window that appears, select 'Install Options'.  Use "Change Folder" where it says "Change where this app installs games by default. Set it to "D:\Flight Simulation\".

MSFS2020 will install in "D:\Flight Simulation\Microsoft Flight Simulator" (by default) and

MSFS2024 will install in "D:\Flight Simulation\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024".

I have a problem of multiple installation locations, same folders and files across three different folders and I can start MSFS2024 from any of them, why do I have three locations?

D:\MSFS 2024\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024  (folder of my choice)

D:\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Limitless_1.3.10.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe (folder created by ..... )

C:\Users\Ali\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe (folder created by ...... )

 

the starting files including DLSS are available in all of them (same copy), and they all get updated at the same time, go figure?

The duplicates are likely links.. if you look really closely, you should see the little arrow/link symbols

You have one folder and two symbolic links. It’s all the same set of files.
