I REALLY, REALLY hate to ask this question again, but need the file location of this file.

I had the location before, but did not write it down.🙄

Can anyone help this addlepated old guy ?

Here's the easy way to find it. 

1. Start the sim

2. Open the Windows Task Manager (right-click on the start bar, choose Task Manager. To get the start bar when the sim is running, simply press the Windows Key on your keyboard)

3. Find FlightSimulator2024 in the list of running apps. You can click the CPU tab to sort by CPU usage, it will be the top app. 

4. Right click and choose "Open File Location"

5. ???

6. Profit!

(5 & 6 is a joke..)

The problem is = I cannot start sim, which I am seeking this file location.

I think it is a problem with X-box, which the sim runs with.

And I am running 2020, not 2024.
