ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
It is impossible to activate Community-folder items inside “my library”, they remain in the status “installed” and “not available/unavailable”. The item names are not displayed next to the items. Taking a look into the Content.xml shows, that each entry is duplicated with each restart of the sim, not only the “community”-entries but also the “fs-20” entries. The workaround described in content-xml-duplicates-entries-on-every-start does not solve the problem.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
The issue concerns especially the use of the community folder, I tried it by reducing all items except a few officially bought from other stores and described as “MSFS2024 compatible”. The Content.xml corruption occurs even in that case.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time I restart the sim, Content.xml gets more corrupted.

Additional Information: I choosed to change the Community folder location using the Sim-settings menu.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. (Sim not yet running) Add one scenery or aircraft to the community folder, (no matter if from other stores and compatible or from the community)
  2. Start the sim and try to activate the item
  3. Stop the sim
  4. Start the sim - item ist still not activated
  5. Take a look to Content.xml
