Re-installing DVD version on new Windows install

Nope that’s not where the core sim is located it should be in

C:\Users\MSFS\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe

and if everything looks OK then try the following command in Powershell

“cmd.exe /C start
shell:C:\Users\MSFS\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App -FastLaunch”
