ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
The sim consistently, but randomly, changes the InstalledPath line in UserConfg.opt to point at Microsoft’s default location on Drive C. I use the inSim Library window to point at the correct location on Drive A and then OPEN that location and fine my addons as expected.
The Sim leaves the path alone for a while, days or many sessions, and then suddenly InstalledPath is pointing at Drive C again.
Today I started the sim with the Installed Path pointing at the correct A: location. II use Settings to verify that the sim is pointing at the correct A: location. I then click the Browse button and see the four addons I installed in the 2024 Community Folder.
All those addons are verified by there vendors/developers to be 2024 compatible.
I then click the OPEN button and again see all the addons I placed in Community.
Ended flight/ended session normally. Opened Usercfg.opt for 2024 and found:
InstalledPackagesPath “”
Yes - the sim decided to point at nothing despite it pointing at the correct location while in the sim just before I closed the sim.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
