Kapitan Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 as those who tried know the sim is already available for install (installer) and partially installs many files and directories. The bad news is that it installs in the WindowsApp directory, a system dir which normally users dont have access, and many wont kmow how to do it or wont bother since it can mess the sim structure, in a totally different way of previous sims, meaning that its a closed game like Flight where freewares or personal customizing wont be allowed or be easy. I had to take ownership of that windos system directory and the structure is not meant to be for folder manipulation I installed in the C:/ where windows is, thou plan to retry installing in a D:/ SSD hope its possible too Kapitan Anything I say is...not as serious as you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I've been trying to tell people for months that there is no "PC version". Perhaps they now see what I meant - the sim files are contained within a Windows 10 App and not an open directory structure as before. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

Kapitan Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Yes, you are right Too bad We know this system is not good for serious simmers that find fun in customizing. Im sure if MS dont come clean with a PC version someone will make an alternative "org" Kapitan Anything I say is...not as serious as you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they now see what I meant - the sim files are contained within a Windows 10 App and not an open directory structure as before. That’s an odd distinction for defining a PC app. Yes, it’s packaged differently, but it is still coded to run on a PC. This is just the latest in a long line of APIs Microsoft has developed over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Asobo’s comments about supporting developers, including freeware ones (some were apparently included in the closed SDK alpha), as well as the fact the SDK will be included in all versions indicates freeware will be supported just fine. How add-ons work is certainly going to be different, but they will still be supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvensmith Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 There was me pruning stuff off my "E" drive, looks like I'm going to have to clear up a bit more space off the C: Drive. As I've ordered the Steam version I'm assuming the none "App" files will still go to the SteamApps folder. Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stusue Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Now I'm no computer guru but I have been playing Microsoft Flight Simulator since FS98. I just got a new computer for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator. I only install operating system and Flight simulator on c drive so my c drive is exclusive for operating system and Flight simulator. All my music, pictures, videos, dowloads, and even fs downloads go to my d drive. Each drive is 1 tb.
