Verifying the WASM module installation and locating MSFS 2024 community folder

If you do not see the mobiflight_event_module package then the WASM module isn't installed in MSFS2024 community folder. Try reinstalling it by closing MSFS2024, running MobiFlight, selecting Extras > Microsoft Flight Simulator > Install WASM module, then running MSFS2024 again.

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 2024.
  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 above, but setting Developer Mode to Off in step 4.
