Hello everyone,

Been a 2020 user for a few years now and went ahead and purchased 2024. Now my biggest question is, although I install 2024 on a different drive, why does 2024 create a folder on my C drive and insist all my addons go in there? I dont have the space on my C drive to store all of my addons, paints, aircraft, etc and purposely purchased an NVME drive to install 2024 there as well as addons, etc.

How can I fix this so that I can move addons from my C drive to my H drive?

2020 made it easy, yes it creates a small folder on the C drive but I was able to store my entire community folder on a separate drive and have all my addons off my C drive.

Please help

Thanks

This might help.  Blue skies,

The problem is it appears its installing in both places and the new location where I want on a separate hard drive is a mirror.

 

How do I prevent it being installed on both places? I literally just want it installed in one.

It is the same as 2020..  Just put the Community folder on a different drive.

How much space is 2024 actually taking up on your C drive? Mine is under 20MB... even though there are a bunch of folders, they are all symlinks to where the data is actually stored.

You'll also need to change the location of your rolling cache in settings and then manually delete the old roaming cache file, it's going to take up 16GB by default:
