File Not Found

Hello community, where can my community folder be on my PC.I searched all over the files on my PC but it cannot be found.thank you for your help

Steam download or direct from MSstore?

Download on Steam

/user/appdata/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator/Packages/communityfolder

once you get into the MSFS folder have a look around but almost sure its in “packages”

/user/appdata/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator/Packages/communityfolder .The package file does not appear

MS Store

C:\Users[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\ Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community

Steam

C:\Users[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightDashboard_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community

custom install

If you happened to use a custom location for your Flight Simulator installation, then proceed there. Example: F:\Flight Simulator\Community\

Still can't find it?
  • While running MSFS 2020 do the following:
  • Go to Options / General
  • Click on Developers which you will find at the bottom of the list on the left
  • Switch Developers Mode on
  • On the Dev Menu select Tools / Virtual File System
  • The community folder location can be found under Watched Bases

Microsoft.FlightDashboard_8wekyb3d8bbwe Does not appear

Go to the root of your C: drive and search for asobo-aircraft-c152 there. It might take some time, but you should get either two or four results, depending on which package you purchased. Those will be in your Official folder. One or two levels up from there, you’ll see two folders - Community and Official. That Community folder is the one you want. Right click that and pin it to the Quick Access section in File Explorer (the folder window) so that you can get back to it when you need to.

When I’ve lost it, I do this


  • Go C:\users
  • Pick your \name, go there

When you’re there, go to \AppData, this is a grey path. Click for permission when needed (fresh machine)

Under AppData you find: \Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightDashboard_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community

(for the STORE version !)

it will either be microsoftflightsimulator or dashboard. it has to be in that filepath.

Click on the arrows to see the different paths

Just copy and paste the relevant Windows path, into Windows Explorer address bar:

Steam version:
%AppData%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community

Store version (if I copied the folder names correctly):
%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightDashboard_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community

When you’re there, select and rightclick the Community folder, and ‘Send to Desktop’ (create a shortcut on your desktop.)
