Marketplace vs FSDT Installer MSFS2020 install location.
« on: July 28, 2021, 04:49:11 pm »
I own the FSDT MSFS2020 installers for Key West and Louisville. The installer installed the scenery into the addon manager folder like P3D. Does the Marketplace version install in the MSFS2020 community folder location or does it link to the addon manager folder.

The FSDT installers for MSFS will install in the Addon Manager\MSFS folder (so they are not "mixed" with P3D stuff), which means they are easier to update with the FSDT Live Update in a single pass, and have a Symbolic link TO it, in the Community folder which is created automatically by the installer, which means you can install the sceneries even on another drive, for example if you don't have enough space on the physical disk MSFS is installed into.

The MS Marketplace versions will install exactly like any other Marketplace addon, in the Official\OneStore or Official\Steam folders, in encrypted form, so they cannot be updated by our updater, but will be updated when Microsoft will approve the update on the Marketplace.
