Yes it is . The correct order of installation is important. As Gary writes, the installer will not find the paths otherwise.
The SDK's are not absolute, each version is not intended to be an entire replacement of the previous, they are supplemental, in that only what gets updated, gets changed. If there are no sample projects, it is because because the ones you are supposed to already have, are still current. The fact that the .html documentation does not come with each update shows us, nothing is missing, unless we've deleted it - or isolated it by leaving the previous SDK out of the update loop.
Great!
Sweet tip Christian, i use to copy the fspackagetool into every project, your method is certainly better, thanks!!

Gray house is my sister's house that I captured with a DJI Mini 2, Map Pilot and used Metashape to generate the 3D model and brought into Blender for clean up work. I should have flown along the fenceline, and these old queenslander houses are quite the challenge compared with modern homes. Was a mini test project to see how far I can take photogrammetry for scenery development.

AI are fickle fish in MSFS, not at all like FSX, where you could get them to sit up and beg. Using FSX@WAR, like AICarriers on steroids, we could assemble entire convoys, divisions and squadrons. It's funny because we actually have much more control in MSFS, I think it's a matter of priorities. I recently completed a project that used hybridized assets from default Asobo models to provide my custom AI working animations and I think it worked out pretty well. I made a video and there is a link to all that in my sig.

All I have to do is type "m" and it pops up on my Google, what's that say about me? Probably that I can't remember what I'd gone there read the last time, huh. Anyway, you'd want to consider that when building a new rig, the in game menu is not available until one has already gone ahead and downloaded a full install. Therefore, "the most recent version available in game," will always be an update, for the sake of efficiency. A suggestion that users with directory issues should not have to minimize MSFS in order to download a larger version of the SDK that will fill their HD with redundant data seems awkward.Introduction

It seems more likely that this link will answer all your questions, than it seems likely that Asobo blocks new developers. The page literally says, "If you have an issue while creating a package then uninstalling and reinstalling the SDK (or installing a previous version of the SDK) will have no effect, as the issue will be with the package itself, and as such you will need to fix the contents of the package." It strongly suggests you should review what tools are missing, as some work with some version of 3d software and some do not. If you stopped using 3ds Max 2019, for example, you likely lost access to many tools.
SDK Overview
No limitations as far as I know. I changed the vegetation for the whole earth, as I didn't like what Asobo had:
Oh you caught me, you clever sleuth! I just blindly type away sometimes, with no intention of "helping," whatsoever, what a waste, eh? But if you mean because MSFS does not work exactly as you expect and Asobo should fix that, I'd thought you had been kidding. Beyond that, it already IS the full SDK. You'd think if anyone would have noticed, you know, besides you, it would have been Dick. It not like he doesn't know about your concern.
Gary, I did install that SDK core but it doesn't give anything other than these folders:
* Licenses
* Schemas
* SimConnect SDK
* Tools
* WASM
* version.txt
the whole rest of the SDK's are missing, and all the other SDK links in sim don't provide the ability to download
