    Flight Simulator 2020 - Insert Game Disk error


    Hi, I'm a long time subscriber of Xbox Game Pass, I had downloaded Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 about a month ago and it used to work just fine for me however ever since I upgraded my Game Pass subscription to Game Pass Ultimate, I've been unable to play Flight Sim 2020. The game asks me to insert a Game Disk which is obviously not possible. I had uninstall Flight Simulator 2020 from my PC and redownloaded it. It downloaded about 1GB of the installer and with that it also downloaded the Digital Ownership pass or something like that, however I still can't download the rest of the game as its still stuck on "Insert Game Disk" error despite me uninstalling the game twice.


    Any suggestions on how to solve it?

    :)

    Flight simulator please insert disc???

    Our friends at Xbox always have something to share Here is the known issue and the workaround:

    Known Issues for Game Launches (October 2020)

    Microsoft Flight Simulator

    • Known Issue: Some users seeing a "Please insert the Microsoft Flight Simulator disc" error when launching the game on Windows 10.
    • Workaround: In order to play the game digitally on Windows 10, you will need to have the Digital Ownership
      File       installed as it is required to grant the necessary permissions to play. If you already have this file installed and are running in to this error, please uninstall and reinstall this file only and this should resolve the issue. There is no need to
      uninstall the entire 127+GB base game files. Uninstalling this small 10MB file is all that will be needed.

    Flight simulator 2020 controller compatibilty

    Hi there

    Is the a compatibility list for flight sticks for flight simulator 2020.

    Or can u tell me if my speed link phantom hawk is compatible. I plug it in and game doesn't recognise it. So I configure the buttons but then its like a on and off switch for everything rather than being all smooth. It's full left or full right and full
    yolk.
