Sorry for the delayed reply Piper5299X, I'm away from home at the moment with the day job, and spare moments have been few and far between. Anyway, that long and convoluted file path you mention is probably the result of using the Windows installer system to relocate the whole MSFS app and its credentials onto a different drive, rather than just moving the folder containing the simulator packages (in other words, the "D:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-515180230-3964341080-798585228-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages" folder.) via the MSFS installation manager.

I need to check something on my own laptop first, but I'll get back to you asap with the simplest workaround I can find to get your MSFS install sorted and simplified on your D: drive, with an easy to access file path like "D:\MSFS Packages" which shouldn't fall foul of issues like exceeding the default maximum path length in Windows.

In the meantime, reading this topic may help give you a bit of an insight. https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/5836 ... -too-long/

I'm hoping that FS2024 will offer a more user-friendly way for users to move the sim's packages around onto different drives and so on, though I'm not hugely optimistic. I guess time will tell... :|

Thanks,
