Steam Install path detection issue

Bug Reporting Hub Install, Performance & Graphics

In Brief:

I had the sim installed on drive D: and now have uninstalled and re-downloaded to drive F: (steam copy).

Now whenever I boot up the sim application it creates an MSFS install folder on drive D: and asks me to re-download and i have to waste time directing to drive F: EVERY TIME I LOAD THE APP.

Talk about P.I.T.A

Please advise guys

Did you define in Steam that F: is a valid Steam Library Path? And is it set to Default?

There’s a possibility that UserCfg.Opt file is overriding your selection. It’s usually in:

C:\Users\YOUR WINDOWS LOGON NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator

It may not have been deleted during the last Uninstall?

The last line defines where MSFS was last installed.
