Moving MSFS2020?

[Oggy88]

I tried to use Steam to move MSFS2020 to another folder but despite it saying move installation into a different drive or folder it would only allow me to move it to another another drive.
Am I missing something?
Can anyone help please?

Steam will not move the game content, only the launcher. This part will always have to be within a "steam library folder". For the game content...

Hit your windows key and type...

%appdata%

Then hit enter. In the window that opens browse in to the Microsoft Flight Simulator folder.

Open the file, UserCfg.opt in a text editor (notepad or similar). Right at the bottom find..

InstalledPackagesPath "X:\Some\Path\Content\Installs\To"

Copy the contents of that folder, which should be a Community folder and an Official folder to a location / path of your desire. Now set the path mentioned in the UserCfg.opt file to be the same as where you moved the packages folders.

This should point the game to read and install all content to that new location.
