SimFX installs directly into the Community folder — the folder where MSFS loads add-ons from.

Unzip the .zip you downloaded from our store.
Quit the simulator.
Move the 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

If you installed the simulator to a custom location, look for the Community folder there. For example, if you installed it to D:\Games\MSFS, the Community folder is here: D:\Games\MSFS\Community
Launch the simulator.
Load into any airport.
Click the new icon in your toolbar to open SimFX.
