:white_check_mark: ISSUE DESCRIPTION

  1. Description of the issue:
    After adding a MS2020 aircraft purchased directly from the developer to the Community folder, and after doing a flight with the aircraft, the ability to change the aircraft selection on the Configuration / Hardware screen no longer works. Removing the aircraft from the community folder restores the normal behavior.

I tried this routine twice with the same results.

While normally the standard advice is to remove everything from your community folder, I thought this issue should be reported since adding content to the community folder is a standard feature but doing so seems to cause an issue with the user interface functionality. The community folder will be used by many to add aircraft to FS2024.

  1. Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

No. It’s part of the issue. Also, I only had one item in the community folder (an aircraft) so can confirm adding/removing it causes/restores the behaviour.
