What Iâve done in the past for things like this, (in X-Plane, I havenât tried it in MSFS), is to not mess with the âofficialâ file structure, (maintaining the appearance of files in the normal places) - however I move the files themselves to a folder somewhere else and either symlink or hard link it to the âofficialâ folder.
Iâve done that in X-Plane where thereâs a âCustom Sceneryâ folder and I have several specially customized scenery folders for various places so I donât load up every possible scenery variation. I then creat a symlink from the specific scenery configuration folder to the âCustom Sceneryâ folder and I get only the scenery I need.
I have heard that there are special 3rd party packages that automagically do this for you in MSFS, but I have not tried them so I cannot comment on them.
Other things I have done, (to conserve valuable SSD space), is to add a massive HDD and map things that donât need near real-time access to it. (Like the âDownloadsâ folder, archives, target for screen-shots and videos, etc.)
You can re-map the Downloads folder âofficiallyâ to a different drive in Windows by editing a registry entry or something like that. Other folders I symlink back to the SSD.
Symlinks, hard links, and Junctions are your friend! Thereâs a German guy who made a link manager utility for Windows that makes creating various links a point-and-click experience. (Iâd post the link, but Iâm away from my main machine right now.)
