Ducktooth Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I have no idea how to find the path for my MSFS. I had to format my drive after issues with my PC and had to reinstall the entire OS and finally MSFS after about a month of work. I used to be able to find my community folder but now I have no idea and I have torn apart every single file and its properties etc. It doesn't seem to exist!! Does anyone have any clue as to how I can find my FS path and community folder???? I have run out of ideas.

mrzippy Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 If you happened to use the default location for your installation, then you can find it here: For the Windows Store install: C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\ Community folder: https://support.justflight.com/support/solutions/articles/17000113722-where-is-the-community-folder-msfs2020 Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

mrzippy Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Appdata folder would be only if you installed into the default location. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 To see the AppData folder, you need to have 'show hidden files' ticked in File Explorer. 1 Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

If so, you can do the following to find the community folder: start MSFS go to "Options" and "General Options" go to "Developers" and make sure, "Developer Mode" is ON in the [DevMode] menu at the top of your screen go to "Packages Folders" the two buttons below "Open..." open an explorer window at the correct location.
