Process for adding MSFS location manually #17

Closed iamrjc closed 3 years ago

iamrjc commented 3 years ago

If the MSFS 2020 installation is not found automatically and the user browses to it, this should be saved upon success in config.ini as the value of the sim_folder key?

Manually can be done by browsing to "%appdata%/Roaming/MSFS Mod Manager" and modifying the config.ini by adding a new line for sim_folder = and adding the full path to MSFS e.g. C:/users//AppData/Local/Packages/MS FLIGHT SIM/LocalCache/Packages full example:

[settings]
theme = None
last_version_check = 2020-09-08 22:38:17
sim_folder = C:\Users\MYNAMEGOESHERE\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages

Great utility btw! Thanks for creating.

You're right, thank you. I messed up my logic for that. I'll get a fix out soon.
