  1. Microsoft Flight Simulator folder isn't found in the Roaming folder. Where can I find it?


    I have an add-on app that needs the location of the MSFS application data but don't see a Microsoft Flight Simulator folder in my c:\Users\[profile name]\AppData\Roaming folder. Can I find it somewhere else if I installed MSFS on a different drive?

    I've opened the Roaming folder with Windows Explorer and checked the Folder Options to be sure that it shows hidden files, folders, and drives.

    :)

    I know where the Community folder is. I don't see data folder that my searches suggest should be: c:\Users\[profile name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator . If the program data isn't there then where is it?

    Hi Pamela, this is Manuela!. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you

    May I know what edition of flight simulator do you have installed?
    The one from Steam or PC Xbox app edition?

    Microsoft Flight Simulator folder isn't found in the Roaming folder. Where can I find it?

    The G1000 app I've purchased runs on a Logitech flight information panel (FIP).

    If that path doesn't exist, then does anyone know where the program files are? It's possible that the app only needs to read data in the file.

    I'll try Simgeneering's support page too.

    Hi Manuela,

    I did install the game on an SSD drive that's separate from the c:\ drive that has the OS installed. Like a lot of people, that c:\ drive just isn't big enough for MSFS. My problem is not that I can't find the Community file. I know where that is.

    My problem is that the G1000 Simulator FIP software setup is asking me to enter the "roaming app data folder" path for MSFS. It gives this path as an example, "c:\Users\[profile name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator" but that directory does not exist on my c:\ drive where the Users folder is. There is a "c:\Users\[profile name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft" folder but that one doesn't have a subfolder called "Microsoft Flight Simulator."

    I'm thinking that this might be because I didn't install MSFS on the c:\ drive but I don't know where else to look for the roaming app data folder path. I don't see a folder with that name on the SSD that I installed the game on.

    Do you (or anyone else) have suggestions for what the path might be?

    Michael
