Hi there-

I have recently installed FS2020 and have a question on a couple things. People have told me that all the add-ons go in a folder called "Community". Can I ask where that folder is? I can't seem to find it.

also, after I takeoff, my plane starts to shake and all out looses control leaving me with a out of control plane.

The last thing I would like to know, does the game support WOAI packages?

  1. The location of the Community folder differs according to where you bought MSFS. If you let us know whether you bought it from the Microsoft Store or Steam, we can tell you where it usually is.

  2. As to why your plane shakes and loses control, it could be a number of things - you'd need to tell us more about that. On the surface of it, it sounds like it is stalling. So your airspeed might be too low, or you might be pitching up too steeply (angle of attack).

  3. WOAI (World of AI) closed down 10 years ago and is not compatible with MSFS. There are modern alternatives for AI traffic; including 2 free options; FSLTL and AIG.

There's a lot of help in the Official Microsoft Flight Simulator FAQ.

World of AI if not compatible with MSFS. The best similar free alternative is AIG Traffic from Alpha India Group : https://www.alpha-india.net/software/

Well, first, I bought the game from the Microsoft Store about 2 years ago. I try to see where the folder is but in the list of folders it lists folders like Aa-Cc and so on.

The shaking is hard to explain. The aircraft, after takeoff, shakes uncontrollably and eventually will crash.

As far as the AI traffic, you had mentioned Alpha-India. Do they have a installer like WOAI did?

Hope that helps

The default Community Folder for the Microsoft Store version is here, where 'USERNAME' means your own Microsoft user name:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community

I found the folder. I made a copy on my Desktop. Is that something I can do or does it do nothing?
