The world is the course
Follow the terrain.
Find your flow.
Inspired by the playful flying challenges of Pilotwings, Ring Run combines ring courses, precision landings and scenic exploration with the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Follow the rings in order, aim for a clean run and settle onto the target when the course calls for a landing.
Take a short break with a regular course, or settle in for one of eight hour-long Extended flights. The built-in course browser lets you search by place and filter by vehicle. Choose an installed aircraft on the briefing screen.

Four steps to your first ring
Install. Pick a place. Fly.
- 01
Close the simulator.
Download the matching core ZIP and, optionally, the music ZIP.
- 02
Extract the ZIP.
Open its Community folder. Inside are seven folders beginning with ringrun-.
- 03
Copy the folders into Community.
Copy all seven ringrun- folders directly into your simulator’s Community folder. For music, also copy ringrun-music from the music ZIP.
- 04
Open Ring Run.
Start MSFS and go to Activities → Custom Content → Ring Run. Choose a vehicle or search for a place, open its briefing and start the flight.
Where is my Community folder?
These are the usual locations. Paste the whole path into File Explorer’s address bar; Windows fills in your username.
The 8wekyb3d8bbwe ending in the Microsoft Store / Xbox app paths is the same across PCs. Keep it exactly as shown.

You can also read InstalledPackagesPath near the bottom of your simulator’s UserCfg.opt. Use the Community folder inside that location; no editing is needed.
Updating an older Ring Run installation
With MSFS closed, move the same-named old ringrun- folders to a backup outside Community, then copy the new ones in. Update the optional music package too if you use it. Leave unrelated add-ons alone.
The courses aren’t appearing
Check that the folders sit directly in Community, for example Community/ringrun-activities/manifest.json. Avoid an extra nested Community folder. Confirm that you used the right simulator’s package and folder, then fully restart MSFS.
Aircraft, scenery and sound
The Delta and Rocket Belt are included. Make the stock XCub and LS8 available in the simulator, or select another installed aircraft in the briefing. Use the Delta for Ring Run’s assisted thermals. Landmark appearance depends on your installed scenery. Ring sounds and music have separate controls in the Ring Run panel; chimes also use MSFS’s Voices volume.
