Verifying the WASM module installation and locating the MSFS2020 community folder

Verifying the WASM module installation and locating the MSFS2020 community folder

If MobiFlight isn't showing a green checkmark for the WASM module here are two things to do to verify it is installed correctly.

Verifying the WASM module installation

1. Run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
2. Select Options from the main screen
3. Select General Options
4. Select Developers and set the Developer Mode setting to On

5. From the Tools menu select Packages
6. Type mobiflight into the search filter box

You should see one result:

If you do not see the mobiflight_event_module package then the WASM module isn't installed in MSFS2020 community folder. Try reinstalling it by closing MSFS2020, running MobiFlight, selecting Extras > MSFS2020 > Install WASM module, then running MSFS2020 again.

Locating the MSFS2020 community folder

1. Ensure Developer Mode is on by following steps 1-4 in the previous section.
2. From the Tools menu select Virtual File System
3. Expand the Package Folders section
4. Click the Open Community Folder button

This will open the community folder in File Explorer. If you were asked in Discord to provide the path to the community folder copy the path from File Explorer and paste it into the Discord thread.

Manually installing the WASM module

If necessary, you can manually install the WASM module by copying it from the MobiFlight install location to the community folder:

1. Close Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
2. Open the MobiFlight install folder in Windows Explorer. It is typically located at %localappdata%\MobiFlight\MobiFlight Connector\MSFS2020-module.
3. Copy the mobiflight-event-module folder
4. Paste it into your community folder (the folder opened in the previous section)

Disabling developer mode

After doing either of the above steps you can disable developer mode by following steps 1-4 from the first section, but setting Developer Mode to Off in step 4.
