ColR1948 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I bought the Standard editiion (Disk Version) early last year, had problems so put it on back burner, I recently built another PC and at the moment running FSX, FS9 and Xplane11 & XP12 no probs. Is there a problem installing the disk version, I seem to remember it was the Xbox thing last time? Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Yes there are problems with the disk version, the main one being that you still need to download all the sim updates anyway so you might as well install the latest online version from Microsoft or Steam.

loki Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Don't have the disc version, however, if you have linked it to your account (maybe done during your previous attempts) I think you can just go to the Microsoft Store app and install it directly from there. You will still need to have disc 1 in the drive to fly though. https://helpdesk.aerosoft.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4574437978653-Does-the-boxed-version-of-Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-include-a-download-or-Steam-key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they saw enough demand from people who wanted something physical to put on the shelf. Given the nature of the sim, having a disc in the drive isn't even the biggest issue. It still needs to download the uploads when you install, so the discs don't save you from the need for an internet connection. As for the security issues, presumably the MSFS discs use a more modern and supported DRM scheme, not the old one they dropped support for (SafeDisc/SecuROM). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
