What is the correct method to get the community folder location in MSFS2024? This thread explains the recommended method for 2020: Get Communtiy folder location programmatically, however I’d like to update our app so it can install correctly for 2024 before 2024 releases.
Otherwise I’m gonna have a painful day of support requests from users because our extension won’t install into the community folder.

I guess it will be quite similar, just a different directory. Still, we’d need to know the directory to make it work at launch
It’d be amazing to actually… try it… before launch day too. The way things are set up right now we are going to be flooded with user complaints on the 19th.
Yes I agree, it would be nice to have an early access with NDA to check files structure, folders and to prepare for the release date.
This will avoid hundreds of posts in forums, pilots are expecting their favorite aircraft/addons to be compatible out of the box, as always.
Cheers,

This was answered during the SDK Q&A: Twitch.
It will work the same way as in 2020, and the SDK sample will be updated to show the path locations.
The 2024 SDK has an updated PackageInstaller sample.
The Store path appears to be: %localappdata%Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\UserCfg.opt
The Steam path appears to be: %appdata%\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\UserCfg.opt
