Eu resolvi esse problema, basta ir na seguinte localização : C:\Users\SeuNome\AppData\Local\Packages e excluir a pasta Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe

I resolve this problem go to location C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages and delete this directory Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Sorry for my english

This is only partially correct.

Flight Sim 2020 installed to these folder locations on my PC:

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\FlightSimulator

AND

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe

AND

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe (This one just contains the .exe file to launch the game)

I would recommend copying all these folders to the new PC, though the folder located at:

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore

is by far the largest folder in file size and contains the bulk of the data

Hi Jesse,

Thank you! The prospect of having to uninstall and reinstall was quite daunting! I did remove all add-ons from the Community folder- freeware as well as Obrx and someone else - to a backup folder. I was doing some rummaging around to see what folders could be problematic.

C:\Users\"tu usuario"\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore

Yo lo tuve que poner aquí para que funcionara que es donde están los que vienen originales en la instalación.

Pegar la carpeta completa y reiniciar FS2020.

-[Translation - C: \ Users \ "your user" \ AppData \ Local \ Packages \ Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe \ LocalCache \ Packages \ Official \ OneStore

I had to put it here for it to work, which is where the original ones are in the installation.

Paste the entire folder and restart FS2020.]
