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?

    Hello

    I have bought the DVD version of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Premium Deluxe version and installed it on my old computer. But my old computer does not meet the requirements to run run the game.

    Now I have bought a new computer which can meet the requirements to run the game.

    Can I install the game on my new computer ?

    Yes you can install again on a different computer.  Some of us have done it several times due to the digital version having problems (microsoft sort it out).  Just uninstall it first from the old computer to be on the safe side.  If you don't know how to uninstall:

    go to "add or remove" function and look for microsoft flight simulator 2020 and click uninstall.  You can find "add or remove" function easily through the search engine next to the start menu by typing "uninstall".

    Enjoy your new computer.

    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

    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.
