wrayer Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I installed from the Microsoft store. My problem is I can not find where it is installed on my computer. I can't find the program file folder and thus have no way to add new scenery. Game plays alright. What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stempski Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) The first thing to do is use the search function on the forum. Enter "folder", or "install folder", or "install scenery"... then click 'search' then look for one that might have information that you need. You'll find its a terrific way to find information. That way you'll learn to find things by yourself and not depend on others. If you then can't find what your looking for, start a new thread.

wfrayer Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Ummm, I did try to find the folder! Search all drives, not findable. Before you give condescending comments, please treat the person asking the question with some respect! I taught computer programming, have written user files for older versions of FSU, and was a high school computer center tech...so o know how to do the simple things...

chicagorandy Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 You've probably already eliminate this - but the APPS DATA file is a hidden folder - you have to activate the Show Hidden Files feature. There has been a post recently about this here.
