3 hours ago3 hr OK, if it wasn't for the beautiful graphics and 'smooth as butter' experience that 24 has given me, I have to admit, I would have thrown it in the bin some weeks ago. However, I'm not here to list my dislikes, as I need to ask how best to reinstall the sim. For some reason, it has decided to start with a black screen, a few graphics only, then refuse to initiate a flight. I have done the usual thing of removing all community mods and addons. Log out and back into Xbox and MS apps. I also initiated a repair option from the Win apps screen, that hasn't helped. As a last resort I did a system restore, that also has refused to correct anything. So now it seems I only have one option and that is to do a reinstall of the sim. Before I do so, can anyone give me some 'pointers' other than the usual, backup community addons. I'm more concerned with aspects of addons that will have files embedded within the sim file structure itself, or/and profiles. Advice appreciated.

1 hour ago1 hr The way I did it two weeks ago: backup control settings file, uninstall in Windows settings App (if my memory serves me well), reboot PC, login Microsoft account and download FS 2024. All my addons are on a separate drive and did not need to be reinstalled (I use Addon-Linker). I presume one would need to save a backup of the Community folder if not using AL.

1 hour ago1 hr You can uninstall and reinstall using the XBOX app, just reboot computer after each step.

I'm just making sure I'm not missing something before I give me myself a potential headache!
