This is a strange issue. It seems that even though all content in the community folder says “Not installed”, it seems all add-on airports and aircrafts are working (I have mainly ORBX, JustSim, Aerosoft add-ons). I havent had time to investigate more than visiting some of my airports for a few minutes and trying out the CRJ.
Can this issue cause other problems?
Best regards Jan Jönsson
It is completely cosmetic - makes no difference - if it is in the community folder, it is installed
No, it is cosmetic only - makes no difference. Looks odd, but that’s it.
@Jummivana it might be worth adding to the “known issues” list or at least in the patch notes that items in the community folder will show in content manager as not installed even though they are
I have now had a chance to properly look at my own flight sim and even though I followed the steps I described in the post above (Addons in Community appear as NOT INSTALLED in Content Manager, after updating to 1.15.7.0 and World Update IV, although they are installed - #39 by tamalien) I am also suffering from the “Not Installed” message for my community folder add ons in my content manager.
These steps clearly don’t correct the issue.
The content is clearly installed and working in the sim, however!
Yes, it luckily seems like a cosmetic issue. The WASM errors are a lot more serious in that respect 
Hello, I HAVE EXCATLY THE SAME ISSUE after having updated world update 4 , I have in my content manager I see that all my contents added in the community folder are set as not installed !! This was not the case before this update. Anyway, I can use all of them with no problem even if they are considered not installed by the system. Strange isn’t it and I would bet this is a bug due to the last update. Thank you
Addons are installed in game, but in game it says they’re not installed, but they are working fine ?
They should create a sub directory and call it Community Mods rather than under the same folder name as the base install, this way its easier to tell which is which…
Also same issue, appears as Not installed. Getting late in Brisbane, investigate and test tomorrow. Some comfort I’m not the only one with problems
In my case in community folder i can’t have the FlyByWire a320 dev, ctd. The Standalone a320 is missing and not installed in content. Only if i use a320 stable version not crash.
It is mostly related to a custom livery. Check these.
You are right. I took off all liveries from community folder and dont crash. But in content manager FBW is not installed, but its there and working. Thanks. I hope a solution to use the liveries in future.
If you have the Steam installation you get the Steam update first which once done you can do your housekeeping regards the community folder before booting up the sim. Not sure about the MS Store version. But valid comment none the less.
Same situation here (MSFS and 3rd Party Addons)
Thank you for confirming.
Is there a Zendesk ticket for this? Does the Asobo team know of this issue through the forum here or Discord channel?
Will there be a fix for the G1000(blank MFD panel) and this issue?
Well it doesn’t start the update until you press “Update” , the screen shows how large the update is and there is a tab you have to press to start the update, so all you do is move the community folder before you press update. Job done.
They may be working in the sim, but the scenery can no longer be edited in the SDK as far as custom models are concerned. So its a BIG MAJOR problem
It may look like its cosmetic, but as a developer i can no longer develop the scenery in the SDK. So its a MAJOR DISASATER
Thank you for your reports.
The community content may appear as “Not installed” in Content Manager, but it is installed and usable in the sim.
We are currently investigating this issue and it will be fixed in an upcoming patch.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
I have the MS Store version.
