Can someone who bought MSFS 2020 at the Store and not Steam tell me what the last line of your user.cfg opt file (InstalledPackagesPath) should read. I changed mine at the advise of a support guy who's aircraft I had bought and can't remember what it was. A word of advice: DO NOT CHANGE IT! Thanks guys!

InstalledPackagesPath "F:\MSFS"

F drive is my dedicated MSFS drive, it's not the default suggested location during install phase, fyi.

Can you do something with this one?

InstalledPackagesPath "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages"

 

The "path" is the path of the folder wherein the community and official folders reside. This path on my computer is C:\msfs2020. The path will be different on your computer. In other words my community and official folders are located in this folder: C:\msfs2020

The last line of my usercfg.opt file properly reads as follows:

InstalledPackagesPath "C:\msfs2020"

And, yes, the " marks must be there.

replace C:\msfs2020 with your "path".

If you put the wrong line at the bottom of  usercfg.opt , then when you boot up msfs it will tell you that you need to download zillions of gigabytes of files. If you have put the correct line there, then msfs will not tell you it needs to download files. This is how you know the last line is correct.
