Look for the largest files with the directory packages. The community folder will be next to the large official folder.
I tried to combine Xbox with Steam Program Files. Failed. They are not installed in the same way.
Not sure about packages and community folders. They should be able to share but I installed the Steam packages at a different folder compared to the Xbox version. I just install it in the packages folder. It should be at the Microsoft_Fligjht_Simulator_xxxxx\packages. The steam installer will not create a new Microsoft_Flight_Simulator folder, but we can change to anywhere we want.
I chose the appdata\local instead of the appdata\roaming which is the default Steam directory location for setup files. Xbox uses appdata\local.
The instructions to install the mods are written in the required pages but not clear. Not easy to find the community folder.
Use search to find "packages"
My Packages directory is actually in the Appdata/Local folders, not immediately after Appdata folder. This was the problem that I faced in finding the Community folder.
Unfortunately it requires you to tell it where the Community folder is first also.
Another problem with it is that it does not work with .rar or uncompressed files.
Below is a picture of the FA-18 beside Mount Kinabalu. Just select it from the plane at the top left of the World Map menu screen. This plane is not found in the profile or marketplace.
For the scenery, i used Modmanfx so that I can easily uninstall these mods and and a record of these files.
Unfortunately, the scenery is only installed after I have exited FS2020. For the P51 racer, we need to copy all 4 folders into the Community folder.
Just install it as required and it works. Just use the default settings. It took me hours to work this out.
The trick is to enter the key <end> to start or stop the head tracking.
<home> is to centre the view because it drifted a lot.
The short cut keys are in one menu. The default that are set are just <end> and <home>.
<end> is also the default key for MSFS2020 toggle view mode internal or external.
No need to add any assignment in MSFS2020 controls. The TRACKIR device is just a dummy.
The clue is given by this video:
He simply mentioned that it just works but need to enable the face tracking. He assigned the key to enable and disable the face tracking to his joystick keys. It can be found in the shortcut keys menu of Facetracknoir.
Watch this on how to setup a cheap webcam based head tracking. It used to be free but now you need to pay EU3.5 to download. However, once downloaded, there is no copy protection at all. It simply delays the installation process. If you go to the website, you shall realise how important it is for us to support the developer of this package.
The video above explains how to setup facetracking for various software. He explains the latest version of this software.
I had problems with installing it at first. You actually need to run the software in administrator mode. But you also need to download the plugin also. Actually explained below but I thought it was as easy as most software.
Flight Simulator weather explained: How to change weather, time of day, and enable live weather conditions
How to change weather on the fly, as you fly.
Guide
by Matthew Reynolds, Guides Editor
Updated on 18 August 2020
Flight Simulator's weather is one of many impressive aspects of the 2020 simulation game.
Not
only can you adjust any location's time and weather to your choosing -
from sunny skies to overcast, to snow and storms - you can also set it
to real conditions taking place in that part of the world.
All of this can be done before you fly, or in the middle of a flight - with this page explaining how.
How to change weather and time of day in Flight Simulator
Changing
weather in Flight Simulator can be done at pretty much any time -
whether during flight, or when you set up your flight plan from the
World Map. Here's how you can do it from either point in the game:
Changing weather mid-flight in Flight Simulator
If
you want to tweak your weather settings during a flight, then go into
the toolbar at the top of the screen, and select Weather.
It's recommended you do this on the runway, or if you are mid-flight, activating Active Pause first- otherwise you might risk losing control of your aircraft!
(If
you cannot see the toolbar and weather options, then you might be in a
specific mode - such as training or landing challenge - where weather is
fixed for the activity at hand.)
Doing so will open a dedicated window with various settings.
The dropdown box provides a variety of preset options, including:
Clear Skies
Few Clouds
Scattered Clouds
Broken Clouds
High Level Clouds
Overcast
Rain
Snow
Storm
Some official screenshots of how cloud presets can change a location.
As well as these, you can also tweak the specifics of the snow depth, aerosol density, precipitation and more.
You can also change the time of day, too, if you prefer to change to night time or dawn flying.
Being able to change weather - and see how it looks instantly - is perfect if you want specific conditions for your Flight Simulator photos.
Changing weather before your flight in Flight Simulator
As
well as mid-flight, you can set your weather before you set off - which
might be a preferred option if you like to have all your settings lined
up so you can concentrate on the flight itself.
To do this, from the World Map screen, select the Flight Conditions button in the upper right.
From here is a variety of settings - with Weather and Time at the bottom, which offers a number of presets and custom settings.
As
mentioned above, once you are taking your flight, you can always change
them along the way if you aren't satisfied with your choices.
How to activate live weather in Flight Simulator
Live weather is one of the options seen in the above two methods of setting weather in Flight Simulator.
As part of the weather toolbar, you'll find it at the very top, under the Live Weather option.
Meanwhile, from the World Map's Flight Conditions screen, you can set select it under the Weather and Time option at the bottom.
This
latter one might be preferred if you want the entire flight - alongside
other settings such as live traffic - to emulate as close to real world
conditions as possible.
Live weather is also a requirement for playing in Flight Simulator's Live Players multiplayer mode.
If
you were wondering what live weather entails, this official video goes
into specifics - including how it takes 60 layers of cloud data
(including fronts and density data) and 20 layers of other data
(including pressure, humidity, temperature, wind speed) and inserts it
into the game engine:
