Are those folders add to the Community\captainsim-aircraft-m772 folder, or a folder specific to/for the Fix 1.3.2?
I'm just curious because I don't use the Fix 1.3.2, and all of my Captain Sim addons that I purchased in the MSFS2020 Marketplace, are installed in the Official\OneStore folder, not the Community folder.
Hi Markoz,
The required folders for Fix 1.3.2 each go into the top level of the Community folder. They have settings within them that make them override the captainsim-aircraft-m772 folder (or similarly named folder for the 77W, 77F, and 764). They change the weights, fuel capacity and tanks, engine thrust, modify the panel to make it more like a 777 panel, etc. These folders do NOT go into the unmodified Captain Sim aircraft installation folder.
Generally this is how MSFS works. For example if you add a CS aircraft livery found on the web (e.g. Flightsim.to), the folder is installed directly into the Community folder, at the same, top level as the CS 772. If you have several added sceneries installed, they will all be at the same, top level of the Community folder. Weird, I know!
There is a free addon on called MSFS Addons Linker on Flightsim.to that enables you to have the different aircraft, sceneries, etc. in a more organized form, instead of all mixed together in the Community folder.
The MSFS Marketplace purchases can be made to work with Fix 1.3.2, but it becomes a little more complicated, as I explain in this thread:
https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1697590840The necessary folders would then be placed in the same folder as the unmodified CS aircraft, Official/Onestore, again always at the top level. However I believe they will work if you put them in the Community folder instead. (MSFS Addon Linker has a way to install folders in Official/Onestore in a more organized fashion.)
