johnost Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I have seen the answer before, but can't find it now. I have a vanilla installation of MSFS from Steam, but can't find the Community Folder. Can someone educate me please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnost Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Thanks for the reference, that is the one I was looking for. I have not succeeded in finding the Community Folder, however, because when I get to the last .....\LocalCache\Packages\ folder it is empty.

tiger1962 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Try this tip from the Steam forums: go into MSFS2020 Select Options Select General Select Developers (on the left, at the bottom) Turn Developer Mode on Look for the new menu in the top left (the text is very small) Select Tools Select Virtual File System Select Watched Bases At the bottom of the list, it'll show your Community folder location Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

johnost Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 WOW - that finally worked! Thanks Tim for your good work. The folder was empty, even though I have only one add-on that works just fine, i.e. a scenery enhancement for Washington, DC. I guess this add-on, which auto installed itself, must have integrated itself into the existing Washington scenery file. I have copied and saved the instructions above, so I can install any new add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
