Turn on dev mode by clicking the Developers tab and set Developer Mode to On. Now a new menu bar shows up on the top of the screen. In this menu, click Tools → Virtual File System.

March 23, 20242 yr Author The community folder that previously was attached to the Microsoft installation of MSFS 2020 now seems to be working for the Steam version of MSFS 2020 installed on the same computer-somehow?! No doubt my Microsoft account,Store and Xbox settings will be restored in time -after 30 days they tell me but I won’t be going back there in a hurry If I ever get MSFS 2024 it will probably be the Steam version Thanks to all for your help-I am flying again! xxd09
