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?

    Same problem here. 

    I bought the boxed version because it was cheaper in a store than online.

    I entered the key to my account, installed FS from the store and it ask for a dvd.

    Which i can't give because i don't have a dvd player in my computer.

    The digital license and game is located in the Microsoft Store under games installed. I launch it from there.

    There are many ways people come up with which works but for me I like to keep it simple.

    I did mine this way so I won't have to turn off anything. i.e. firewall, anti-virus.

    Hey Dirk,

    I installed MS Flight 2020 and had the same problem. "Please insert the Microsoft Flight Simulator disc" error "

    For me to launch MS Flight 2020, I logged into the Microsoft Store and launch it from there.

    So far it has worked without any errors to insert the install disk.
