If you purchased the game via the Windows Store (or Game Pass for PC):
C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_[RANDOM LETTERS]\LocalCache\Packages\Community
How to Update one of our add-ons
As we are always updating our products, we have added a ‘Download Update’ button into the download manager.
This means that you don’t have to download the full addon again and again.
Important!
Only download the patch/update if you currently have the last update installed. DO NOT download the update if you have don’t have the last version already installed. If you are not downloading updates as soon as they get released, you will need to download the full addon again.
This is because the patch/update will only download files which are new from the last version, so you may end up with missing textures/models/changes.
EG. If you currently have V1.0 installed, and the latest is V1.3, you must download the full addon, as the patch/update will be missing V1.2’s updates/models/textures.
Once you have determined if you need to download the full addon again or just the update, Extract the ZIP file into the community as explained in the ‘How to Install’ section.
