    For STEAM users, it's (C:)/User/user/Appdata/Roaming/msfs/Packages
    So its Roaming in stead of Local, might come in handy for someone

    • @connelfoster1268
      @connelfoster1268 Рік тому

      I followed the guide exactly. However if you are having issues finding certain folders you could try searching the one you need. Make sure you are in the correct drive (the drive with the game I believe) plus you will need to extract the mod for it to work. Right click and then put the unzipped file in to the game

    a shortcut to get to the appdata folder, even if it is hidden, is to simply type %appdata% in the file browser path. This will open the appdata
    oaming folder, just simply go up one folder and open the local folder.

      So its Roaming in stead of Local.
