Please add the msfs-2020 or msfs-2024 tag to your post, depending on which sim your post is about.
The install puts the community folder INSIDE the community folder. This is on a dedicated F drive.
Then there’s the community folder at users/name/roaming/Microsoft……..
So that’s 3 community folders. And to really confuse me after the installation is over all 3 community folders are empty.
I don’t know what’s wrong.
After installation all 3 community folder should be empty. The only one placing content in the community folder is you.
Looks like something got bugged - there shouldn’t be a community folder inside another community folder. Could you open the usercfg.opt file in Windows Notepad, scroll down to the last three lines so they’re visible, take a screenshot of the window, and attach it in your reply?
Thanks for the replies. To answer the question, I’ve un-installed it again. I’m going to try re-installing on F to see what happens. I’m aware of the lines in usercfg.opt I’ve edited the bottom 2 to both read F:\”Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Community” or some such thing (going from memory gets dangerous when your 73 years old sadly).
But why are there so many different community folders and which ones should I point add ons to?
The correct line should be F:\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
not
F:\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Community
It should be the parent folder, not the Community folder itself.
If you changed the line to F:\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Community
MSFS created a second Community folder inside the first one.
So in this case, the correct line is
F:\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
F:\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Community
TeaPatrol that’s really helpful and would explain why it installed a community folder in the community folder. I’m about to re-install with my fingers crossed.
Happy to help.
