Where Are Aerofly FS 4 Files and Saves Located?
Aerofly FS 4 keeps flight logs, settings, and user scenery in a Documents folder, with the main config file beside the saves.
Last updated
IPACS keeps Aerofly data in Documents rather than AppData. One Aerofly FS 4 folder holds flight logs, the main config, and user scenery side by side. The layout barely changes between versions, so older guides still apply.
Custom scenery is the main reason to open this folder. The sim reads user content from inside the same tree on every launch. Confirm the folder after the first flight, since it appears once the sim writes its initial state.
Where Aerofly FS 4 stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Aerofly FS 4
Logs, config, and user scenery in one tree. Paste Documents into Explorer and open the Aerofly folder. Back it up whole before sim updates.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Aerofly FS 4 to a new PC?
Copy the whole Aerofly FS 4 folder to the same Documents path with the sim closed. Logs, settings, and custom scenery travel together.
Where is the Aerofly FS 4 config file?
The main configuration file sits in the root of the same Documents folder. Edit it with the sim closed and keep the original values handy. Most options also exist in the settings menu, which beats hand editing.
Where do custom scenery packs go?
Drop them into the scenery folder inside the same tree, following the add on readme. The sim scans that folder on launch. Keep third party scenery apart from defaults so updates never overwrite it.
