When I start up the game it tells me to press any button to start. I press a button and then it tells me to insert the disk and press continue. I don't have a disk because I purchased the premium Deluxe Edition online it's bought-and-paid-for it says the game is installed but everytime I press continue it just pops up again please insert disc.

    Just a word of advice for owners to the Disc version of MS Flight Simulator 2020 who experience the "Please insert the Microsoft Flight Simulator game disc".  Please note I am not referring to download versions of MSFS - I am talking about the 'Disc version' that is installed from a box set of x10 DVDs.  If you are using this version of MSFS you must insert DVD number 1 from the box set into a DVD reader attached to your Windows 10 PC before you try to launch MSFS. This applies every time you launch the app.  If you fail to do this the app will stall after the 'Press any key to continue' screen because it will generate the "Please insert the Microsoft Flight Simulator game disc" pop-up message.  The only way to get rid of this message is to quit the app.  All the advice in this thread about reinstalling digital ownership files, checking region/date/time settings, disabling antivirus/firewall software, checking internet download speeds, etc is probably irrelevant if you have this problem and are using the box set 'Disc' version. Official advice is available at https://helpdesk.aerosoft.com/portal/en/kb/articles/will-i-need-to-keep-the-disc-inserted-to-run-the-disc-version-of-microsoft-flight-simulator .

    I figured out something if you have it installed with XBOX Game Pass for PC as I do, you need to set your Xbox account as your STORE account It was saying that I didn't have the game pass but I did hope this helps!
