Where to find your ghost files

This is currently a PC-only workaround, as it relies on access to the local MSFS 2024 'Ghosts' folder.

MSFS 2024 saves your challenge ghost files here (the 'AppData' folder may be hidden): 

C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Ghosts

Before changing anything, it’s a good idea to back up this whole folder so you can restore your original ghosts later.

Inside the 'Ghosts' folder, you’ll find individual folders for each challenge you have already competed in.

For example, the Low Altitude Pyrenees challenge folder may be named: 

la_s1_pyrenees.flt

MSFS 2024 only creates a challenge folder after you have completed that challenge at least once.

Each challenge folder contains two ghost files. Your Personal Record ghost is saved as: 

MainGhost.ReplayDesc

This is the file you can upload here. You can also replace it with another downloaded ghost file, if you want to fly against someone else’s run.

How to use someone else’s ghost

  1. Select a race from the dropdown, then download a ghost from that leaderboard.
  2. Back up your own existing ghost files!
  3. Open the downloaded ZIP folder and drag the file into the correct MSFS challenge 'Ghost' folder.
  4. Open the challenge in MSFS 2024 and fly against that ghost.

How uploading works

  1. Complete a challenge in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
  2. Go to the correct MSFS challenge 'Ghost' folder and find your Personal Record ghost file: 
    MainGhost.ReplayDesc
  3. Upload the file to this site with your username and email address. No password is needed.
    • If your email address has already been verified, your ghost should appear straight away.
    • If your email address has not been verified before, you’ll receive a verification link by email.
  4. Where possible, the site automatically reads the challenge name, score and time from the file.
  5. Checks are in place to help verify file integrity. Some uploads may be flagged for manual review.
  6. Once verified, your upload will appear on the leaderboard.

Important notes

This is an unofficial community project built to make sharing MSFS 2024 ghost files easier. I’ll do my best to keep it working, and checks are in place to help verify uploads. But as it relies on a community workaround, I can’t guarantee that every ghost file will work correctly, match the displayed score or time, or continue working after future MSFS 2024 updates.

Always back up your original ghost files before replacing anything. The safest option is to copy your entire 'Ghosts' folder and keep it somewhere safe.

Use downloaded ghost files at your own risk. If a file looks wrong, does not work, or appears to be linked to the wrong challenge, please use the 'Report' button.
