VFRguy Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) The following is a chain of events that leads me to wonder if I “OWNED†to much, causing a conflict. 1. Purchased MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR PREMIUM DELUXE 10 disk version from EBAY and installed. 2. Unhappy with the fact that I needed to insert disk 1 to run sim. 3. Uninstalled same. 4. Downloaded MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR standard version from MICROSOFT STORE and installed. 5. Happy and flying. 6. Ran into problems with update 1.16.2.0 and a Microsoft Tec Fixed it. (just saying) 7. I thought that I got rid of the 10 disk version. 8. In the sim I browsed WELCOME/MARKETPLACE/FULL CATALOG/OWNED/YES. 9. There I found these 10 items. 1. Amphibious Ulterligh-flying boat. 2. Aviators Club Livery 3. MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR Deluxe Upgrade 4. MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR Premium Upgrade 5. MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR Premium Deluxe Upgrade 6. EDLP Paderbom-Lippstat Airport 7. World Update I: Japan 8. World Update II: USA 9. World Update III: United Kingdom 10. World Update IV: France,Belgium They all showed “OWNED†and â€INSTALLEDâ€. While studying items 3, 4 and 5, it solved a couple of mysteries for me. However, there seems to be an overlap. I think some of the files are duplicated. If that is so, is that a problem? I have not noticed any problems. The only things that I ever Paid for were MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR PREMIUM DELUXE and MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR STANDERD. Yet there are 3 upgrades. I don't know what is going. I did not consider those two programs that I bought upgrades. VFRguy Edited June 17, 2021 by VFRguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hi Glen, there are 3 editions of flight simulator... Standard Deluxe Premium Deluxe When you buy from the MS Store, you always download the standard version (along with Digital Ownership) irrespective of which edition you actually paid for. You can then get the addition upgrades (deluxe and premium deluxe) via the content manager when the sim is launched (if you’ve paid for them) Presumably with you previously buying the “premium deluxe†edition on disc, it upgraded your standard download, as if that’s what you had bought. If your sim is working as it should then don’t worry about it.

VFRguy Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 THANKS I figured that something like that is what happened. My first clue was that I still had all 30 planes. I did not realize until yesterday when I was snooping around the Marketplace that I had all the stuff that I paid for. I thought that that I will have to forget that first program that I bought from EBAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
