Can't find Community folder

[Mateo]

I've looked everywhere and have searched my entire hard drive for this folder and it's simply not there. Has anyone else ran into this issue? I'm wondering if uninstalling and reinstalling will work, I just haven't had the time to do it yet. I think tonight when I get home I'm going to try the file verification that Steam has before I try reinstalling the entire game.

Just wanted to see if anyone else has run into this before I go through installing it again.

If you can't remember where you installed MFS, there's a way to make the game tell you. With the game launched and showing your Welcome screen:

Select Options
Select General
Select Developers (on the left, at the bottom)
Turn Developer Mode on
Look for the new menu in the top left (the text is very small)
Select Tools
Select Virtual File System
Select Watched Bases
At the bottom of the list, it'll show your Community folder location

Most people on the Internet write that the directory is from C: \ User AND SO ON I've been looking like a dumbass, nothing.

I've searched forever and found it here:

D:\Program Files

Why it is there is beyond my imagination, only Microsoft knows.

THANK YOU. This is finally an announcement. I searched around 20 websites, none of which was right. With your method you can find the folder immediately!

This is the most info I've gotten so far. I'll launch the sim tonight and check it. Thank you!

I don't have a "D" drive per se. I have two other internal drives but they're for storage and nothing else. I'm pretty sure I've checked them both and didn't see anything MSFS related, which there shouldn't be anyway.
