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?

    Gie,

    The only needed file is '0x0409.ini' , you can leave all other files out of the .iso

    Hello LionelDenny

    i just checked again:

    when Bitdefender 2021 (Version 25.0.3.24) with all latest updates installed is active, then i get the dreaded 'insert disc' message when i want to start MSFS2020.

    So i can not confirm this has been fixed from Bitdefenders side.

    Hopefully they will fix it asap.

    update:

    i just even tried to add a rule manually to Bitdefenders Firewall

    it was not possible, since BD would not let me add a rule to the flightsimulator.exe which has 0 bytes
