Steam Community folder

Featured Replies

Some technical help please 

I have a Microsoft installed version of MSFS 2020 installed but it is currently inoperable plus a Steam copy of MSFS 2020 also installed but operable -all on the same computer 

Where do I find the Community folder for the Steam version-is there one?

With the original Microsoft MSFS 2020 ie the initial installed version the Community folder is easy to find

Long term this is not a tenable situation but in the meantime I would like to use some Addons for the Steam version of MSFS 2030 -if it’s possible

Here is the correct path.. C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community

You must have explorer set to show hidden files.

System: I ASRock X670E | AMD 7800X3D | 64Gb DDR5 6000 | RTX 4090 | 2TB NVMe | Seasonic Vertex 1000W I LG Ultra Gear 34 UW I

Unless you set a custom location for the Steam version at the time of the install.

My community folder for the Steam version, for example, is located at E:\MSFS\Community

Yes, but then you know where it is, don't you? I'm sure OP would know as well if he did a custom install.

Load MSFS and follow these steps:
  1. Go to Options → General Options.
  2. 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.
  3. In this menu, click Tools → Virtual File System.
  4. Expand “Packages Folders”
  5. Press “Open Community Folder”

There is no "Microsoft Flight Dashboard file" in the Steam version, I gave you the correct file path.

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!
