Look for a file called UserCfg.Opt on your PC. Open it using any text editor. At the bottom - it points to the Packages folder path. Go to there and you will find your Community Folder.

custom install

If you happened to use a custom location for your Flight Simulator installation, then proceed there. Example: F:\Flight Simulator\Community\

Still can't find it?
  • While running MSFS 2020 do the following:
  • Go to Options / General
  • Click on Developers which you will find at the bottom of the list on the left
  • Switch Developers Mode on
  • On the Dev Menu select Tools / Virtual File System
  • The community folder location can be found under Watched Bases

no need to move it, use the addon linker for addons that go in there, its a must have.
