Hello,
It seems that when installing MSFS24 on another drive that C
The path to the community folder is much longer than ever.
It result in a character limit in WIN11 …
The fact is , even with the LongPathsEnabled = 1 in windows registery the issue is still there and makes our aircraft Maule project not work correctely .
This result say that the character limit is included in the MSFS24 application itsefl.
I think it will be impossible for Asobo to change the whole MSFS24 path system.
So Asobo , can you please desactivate the character limit in MSFS24 application.
I had this problem with long names like @KemPESIM , particularly when moving files inside/outside the Community or Official msfs2024 folders. There is also an older thread on DevSupport about the same thing.
I realised, reading both threads, that the problem was related to the location of the shortcut of my Community folder. My FS2024 is installed on my F: drive and it created two folders, “XboxGames” and “WpSystem”. Initially I had created a shortcut on my desktop from the Community folder which is inside this WpSystem folder and here’s the path :
F:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-123456789-1234567890-1234567890-1111\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages.
So short!
I decided to create this shortcut but from the C: drive where the Limitless bazaar is located:
C:\Users.…\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages and…it works! I can now move or delete these files when I need to.
