Hello,

I am excited about the new flight simulator! I just purchased the Premium Deluxe edition from the Microsoft Website and seem to have installed the standard edition. I can see this in the Microsoft Store App. However, the Deluxe and Premium Deluxe edition have an exclamation point by them, and it sais that this will not work on your device for both the Deluxe and Premium Deluxe edition. I am wondering if I will still be able to access all the features of the Premium Deluxe and Deluxe edition because I paid for them. It seems like the two upgrade versions have not been installed, only the standard edition. It also sais the same thing for a lot of my other apps, but I don't use them. Thank you!

I read in a forum many if not all who purchased the premium are seeing the same thing.  Me included.  It was written that as the regular version hasn't really been released, yet, or installed on your computer, the other two upgrades will not work until it is installed.  Guess I'll see if he was right when it is released for install/use.

    It seems as if we are talking 2 different problems here.  If you are getting lockups, before going through the crazy task of reinstalling Windows, check your VIRTUAL MEMORY settings and make sure they are set on System Managed.  I had a locked 8192 min/max and that was crashing the game hard.  As soon as I went back to System Managed, problems went away and I am now finally able to fly.  It's a pita setting up my old Sidewinder joystick though.  Flight Sim wouldn't do it automatically even though it is their joystick.

    As for the Premium/Deluxe issue, I still see exclamation as well, no matter what I try.  Still looking for an answer to that.
