Hello,

I ordered and installed the FS 2020 version with the PC code.

After FS 2020 I installed the digital owner add-on (can be only installed afterwards).

But when I start the FS 2020 then a screen is appearing to ask for a disk that I don't have.

What can I do to get it started?

    I think Microsoft has a lot to do to solve those problems. And they must do it quickly. We have all paid for the game. 

    So I am waiting for a patch from them which solves all the problems.

    Unbelievable

    I slept on the problem and this morning started up the flight sim.  I got that same error message but on studying the page..... over in the top right is a 'Refresh' icon.  I clicked on that and hey presto.  The download installed!!!!!

    WHY?????

    Why get an error message that can be corrected simply by refreshing the page?

    Oh well life's too short to worry about solvable problems

    I have just got the message stating a mandatory update is necessary to play the game, I also have the DVD version and I get an error message and the download will not run.  Thhe message talks about my Internet connection being too slow BUT....  I have fibre optic to the premises and NO WAY is it too slow??  Please help as I now cannot play this brilliant game.

    Best wishes

    John
