Invisible FBW A320 aircraft in My Hangar and on selecting Fly

You are incorrect in your ascertain that once downloaded in the Community Folder the FBW version would also automatically appear in the One Store, it does not as i have witnessed you can only do that if you use the Content Mgr which is at the wrong version so you are in a continual loop.

I think you misunderstood as I never said this. When you use the FBW installer app, it will ONLY install into the Community folder. The FBW installer app does not install into the OneStore folder.

What I said was that, if you use the Content Manager to Install the FBW A32NX, you would be installing the version 0.6.1 which is even on its own is incompatible with the current MSFS version. When you delete this from the OneStore folder manually without using the Content Manager, the sim will automatically redownload the version 0.6.1 and place it back into the OneStore folder because you have installed it from the Content manager previously and it thinks that the content is missing from the OneStore folder and proceeds to redownload this automatically without you even knowing.

The OneStore folder only gets installed when you use the Content Manager from the Sim to install the FBW A32NX.

That’s why it’s important to remove the FBW A32NX using the content manager, because it needs to Sync with your cloud profile that you have indeed request a removal of the content. So it doesn’t redownload it again in the background the next time you reopen the sim. You also need to restart the Sim so that it can refresh all the contents both from the community and the OneStore folder.

Downloaded The FBW Stable Version 0.7.1 which appeared in my Community folder, nothing at this point in the One Store.

Basically from a clean version this sentence is all you need to do.

I can’t argue about my piloting skills as clearly you are much more experienced, even though I’ve logged over 1000 hours of flying the FBW A320 in MSFS. But I have been in the computing industry all my life and I’ve tweaked with computers and software and game modding through the SDK to know how MSFS handles their contents and I’ve leveraged what I learned from it to create my Subtle Taxi Ribbon and Generic A320 Traffic.

I’m glad you got it working… But it just doesn’t make sense to me and I’m pretty sure to anyone else too. Because in your content manager, you shouldn’t be seeing A32NX FBW version 0.7.1 as a content, It should only be visible as a Community mod. I also never said it will be a continous loop when you copied the community folder into the OneStore folder. I do believe you it works but it’s because the sim now grabs both files at the same time. It’s not a loop because both folders are identical.

But when there is an update to version 0.7.1 to a later version, you have to continue to keep doing the same process of copying it to the OneStore folder to keep that one identical. A process that is completely unecessary if the OneStore folder is truly clean.

It gets even worse if you want to use the Dev version where it gets updated relatively every day. You have to keep doing all that copy and paste process to keep it in-line that you don’t exactly need to. Keep the OneStore clean from FBW folder, use the installer to keep updating, and that’s it.
