Installation

Installation is really simple. You only have to download the "A32NX" folder.

For the Microsoft Store edition AND/OR Gamepass edition:

  • Copy the "A32NX" folder into your community package folder. It is located in: C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_<RANDOMLETTERS>\LocalCache\Packages\Community.

For the Steam edition:

  • Copy the "A32NX" folder into your community package folder. It is located in: C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community.

For the Boxed edition:

  • Copy the "A32NX" folder into your community package folder. It is located in: C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Local\MSFSPackages\Community.

If the aforementioned methods do not work:

  • You can find your community folder by going into FS2020 general options and enabling developer mode. You will see a menu appear on top. Go to tools and virtual file system. Click on watch bases and your community folder will be listed in one of the folders.
  • Please make sure you're copying the "A32NX" folder into your community package folder, NOT the "msfs-a320neo-master" folder.

Developing

The A32NX package only contains files which have been modified from the original package. If you wish to work on a file that isn't present in the development branch, simply copy it over from the latest Asobo branch. Please DO NOT add, modify, or delete files from the Asobo branch.
