You can use this free tool ( link below ) , or if you aren’t putting very many things in community, create the symbolic link yourself.
If actual data is somewhere like E:\addons\aircraft\Transall you go to the 2024 community folder on C, open a command prompt and type:
mklink /J Transall “E:\addons\aircraft\Transall”
This is a directory link – you must include the /J
With this approach you don’t use any space on the C drive.
I do this but it keeps reverting to the default install folder on next start…it’s not aving to my new location.
When you start FS2024, the Community folder location is set to the installed location when you start FS2024.
I am change last row in the UserCfg.opt in c:\Users\ yourFolder\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages to InstalledPackagesPath “E:\MSFS2024\Packages”
When you start FS2024, the Community folder location is set to the installed location when you installed FS2024.
My question is, can the Community Folder from MSFS2020 be used and transfered to the MSFS2024??? I understand that the aircraft, etc are not compatible???
I copied my FS2020 Community folder and replaced the FS2024 Community folder with it.
Works fine.
But it will depend on what mods you have in it.
Although now, MS/Asobo is not allowing any mods to work.
Ignoring the Community folder; I guess.
Working fine after this:
