How do I install SimFX?

Creation date: 7/12/2024 6:04 PM    Updated: 7/12/2024 6:15 PM    community folder install simfx
SimFX installs directly into the Community Folder.

Please consider using Simstaller, for all your installations, then you won't need to read further.

* We don't recommend or support using on/off add-on management tools with SimFX. A direct install is ideal.

  • Unzip the p42-imm-simfx.zip download from our store.
  • Quit the Simulator
  • Move add-on into the "Community Folder"

    Microsoft Store version
    %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community

    Steam version
    %appdata%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community

  • Launch the Simulator
  • Load into any airport
  • Click the new icon from your toolbar to open SimFX.


    NOTE: If your add-on still doesn't appear installed, please consider using Simstaller or go down the path of further troubleshooting here: https://parallel42.com/blogs/wiki/my-sim-does-not-load-the-add-on-i-just-installed
