please give us a detailed description of how the software works with non-ascii characters in the username.
I'll try that but, be aware you must do it entirely right, otherwise you'll risk messing up your MSFS completely.
- Create a new folder that will hold all your MSFS content, if you already have MSFS on C: drive, it's best to create it on C: so the subsequent move should be reasonably quick. Moving across two different drives will be much slower.
In this example, create an empty folder on C: and call it MSFS, like this:
C:\MSFS- Go into your Packages folder, which by default is located here:
MS Store version:%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages
Steam version:%APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages
You should see both the Community and the Official folder in there. You need to move them both to the new folder you created, I suggest doing it one at a time, and the easiest way is to:
-
right-click the folder you want to move, and select
Cut - Go back to the
C:\MSFS folder you created before, enter inside it and,
right-click again on the BLANK area of the folder (it's empty, so it should be blank if you enter it) and select
Paste- Assuming you started with the Official folder, you should now see all files/folders being moved here, fairly quickly.
- When it's done, do the same for the Community folder
- Finally, open this file with Notepad:
MS Store version:%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\
USERCFG.OPTSteam version:%APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\
USERCFG.OPT- Go to the Last line, which says
InstalledPackagesPath ( long path here indicating the previous install location )
- Change it to show your new location, like this:
InstalledPackagesPath "C:\MSFS"IMPORTANT, don't forget the space between the InstalledPackagesPath and the path and don't forget the
double quotes around the path.
