Windows 10: Xbox Game Pass and boxed version of MSFS 2020 HELP!!!

Hi, I've somehow screwed up my MSFS 2020 installation:

1. Downloaded Xbox game pass for PC and pre-order of Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 to trial the simulator and loved it so much I wanted to buy it.

2. Wanted a DVD hard copy of the game for some unknown reason so purchased the boxed Standard Edition form an online supplier

3. Uninstalled the pre-order app and Installed the boxed DVD's onto my game SSD for flight sims Drive 'G'

4. On completion of the install, Windows Store opened, automatically, for me to input the 'Product Key' and started to download another 1gb of content from the store.

5. Sim started. no problem, downloaded patch which I installed onto game SSD

6. Sim appears to work without problems but there are only 2 aircraft available the Daher and the Cessna 152. All of the planes are in the the 'Onestore' folder of the MSFSPackages folder on my 'G' Drive

Has the product key been assigned to the pre-order app version which somehow didn't remove itself entirely? See image below

I have noticed that I have a packages on my 'C' drive in app data which I think is the problem but how do I fix this. If I uninstall the sim and try to reinstall it outside of game pass it just says that the key has been registered to another user, which I assume is my game pass user name?

Aerosoft cannot help because this appears to be a Microsoft account mix up on my part but I really want to be able to play the game I have purchased.

Any help would be appreciated.

Can't launch MSFS 2020

I bought MSFS 2020 on Steam, PC version, but got an error saying my Microsoft Live login info was incorrect. I double checked the info and tried again. This time, the error message said that there’s a problem with my account and to open the browser to my
account page but no further instructions. I logged in to my Live page and tried launching it again but got the same “problem with my account” error. Finally, I uninstalled the game and got a refund from Steam. If I buy the DVD boxed game, will I encounter
the same problem. Why do I have to log in to XBOX Live to play a game that I’ve purchased?

 

Xbox games pass on pc

Hi Bat,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

These are the games free with the pass.

However, the exact difference can be told by experts on the Xbox forum so suggest you to start a question there.
