Steam Gauge error message on installation
-
Hi all,
I love this sort of thing. The proliferation of realism upgrades on X Plane, even for Just Flight GA, is one of the things that keeps me going back to it. However, I was just wondering if anyone else gets an error message when trying to install the caravan analogue upgrade? All I have been able to do is skip through them and there are about three of them. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks.

@neilg I'd recommend requesting support by going through Just Flight's support portal.

@neilg It is due to a long path error in Windows if your using the MSStore version of MSFS. It's better to move you content folders to another hard drive where they will be in the root of the drive. You can do this in Control Panel-Settings-Apps

Thanks for the reply but could you do an idiots guide regarding what you do to achieve that end.
Thank you.
Neil.@neilg In Win10 go to Settings / App / Apps & Features and scroll down to the MSFS 2020 listing. Left click it and you should see it drop-down with 2 choices Move and Uninstall. Select 'Move' and then select where you want to put it. I have mine on the root of my G: Drive (ie G:\MSFS2020) so this will be where the MS Store and Community folders will now be instead of that ridiculous long path where MS normally will install most add-ons too.
Uninstall the Steam Gauge add-on and then reinstall it and all should be OK. If you want to verify that the Packages folder is indeed moved before you re-install the add-on go to:
C:\Users\<your account name>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache
and open the UserCfg.opt file with Notepad and at the very end of the file will be the path to your Packages folder. Verify this is where you moved it to.
