Does copying the official folder from 2020

[PRAET0R1AN™]

To the community/official/steam folder load in world data locally?

As much as the devs screwed this up by forcing streaming absolutely everything in, I have world data from 2020 already on disk so I'd like to utilise that instead of just streaming everything on a 40mbps connection.

I have just moved everything over from the other sim so technically this should work, right?

The data is the same pretty much.

Edit :
Unfortunately I couldn't rotate the globe and the text for the different selections on the main menu were all appended with "generic_" ..

So.. generic_freeflight, generic_career, and so on.

Pity really, if that had worked I'd have been happier as I wouldn't need to be constantly streaming stuff in that's already there.

thanks for trying, i was considering doing this as well, but i guess not then... pity, would have been nice, hopefully something possible in the future !

you're copying too many files over, which is why your menus are messed up.

be more selective and you can use aircraft and airports and some others.

check the file names to avoid importing old UI etc

note that it's not flawless and might throw up a bug or two but it's worth fiddling with.

What i did do was move my 2024 Community folder path to my 2020 community, which means my 3rd party aircraft and airports etc are in 2024 and the 3rd party installers thinkvtheyre still installing to 2020.

That's probably why, there's an easy 300gb of data in that official folder so there's definitely a lot of world data in there and aircraft/airports/POI'S, I bet I moved the UI/UX folders along with the other content so the sim is trying to load 2 different UI's and it doesn't know what to do with them so it's listing it all as generic.

I'll have a look through the folders again and uncheck anything UI/UX related before moving.

There's still hope, just have to find what folders are causing the issue with not being able to move the globe and the generic labels on the different menus.
