• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

P3D v4 Prepar3d addon folder location

I've posted this on the Prepar3d site, but there's probably a better chance of some quick, meaningful replies here...
I have always chosen my own installation location for Prepar3d, since v2, for brevity's sake I've called them 'P3D' for v2, 'P3D3' and 'P3D4'.
I notice that I have folders called 'P3D3addons' and 'P3D4addons' at the same folder location as the Prepar3d installs. I have always assumed that the Prepar3d installer did this -- is that the case?
Does everyone have this folder?
Where is it located?
How is it named?
I'm working on a scenery installer, and it would be helpful to have this folder as the 'default' location for those users who don't want to delve into the technical bits of choosing an install location. I just need to be able to reliably locate it for everyone.
 
Sorry, it now looks like I created these folders myself, when I was working on a project which was never finished. I am really getting too old for this...
