cant enter / wont show msfs 2020 in my insiders app on pc

I can also confirm this worked for me on PC. I downloaded the XBOX app via the store.

Then, in store, clicked the three dots.

Then "downloads and updates" and sure enough there was an update for MSFS 2020 1.19.9.0. This was 507.0MB.

I then started MSFS 2020 which went to its own install manager and showed me the "Standard Content" mandatory update which was 108.12MB. The total download, however, was 3.19GB.

I then downloaded all available updates in content manager.

Once all this was complete I quit to desktop and restarted MSFS 2020 without issue.

I think it's VERY strange to need to install the XBOX app for any updates to show in the PC's Microsoft store!!

Hi again Kathy,

Although I am away from my desk, I can still add the following info for you:

1/ I'm using a PC/Windows 10 Home 64 bit, and NOT AN XBOX.

2/ This problem has never occurred before and I use the PC solely for MSFS 2020

3/ There are no anti-virus programs used

4/ The problem begins actually when I go into MSFS WORLD MAP. The Earth is rotating

all over the place, and when I enter DEPARTURE ICAO, eg EGKK for Gatwick airport, the

runways no longer appear, nor the departure gates, but somewhere in the Atlantic! The

fact that the earth is spinning fast in World Map probably affects the cockpit view, and

the spinning inside/outside the aircraft.

Regards Steve

The Thing is Mateus I am not a gamer so I only have MSFS 2020 and the TSW 2020 ,I have FSX Flight sim so instead of upgrading the PC I got a Xbox Series X To play the new sim, as I said before it plays You Tube and Movies with no problems whatsoever, I really don`t want to return it to Amazon cause they wont have a replacement at this time

Hi there.

Thank you for reaching out to the forum. MSFS 2020 is currently only available for PC. But it should come to Xbox at some point.

Dear Glenn
Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

In the meantime, I was able to resolve the problems by myself. I found two root causes, both on my side:
1. Teredo Server connection was instable -> repaired

2. Add-ons:
As a very big freak of MSFS (using it since 1995), I downloaded about 1'400 add-ons from various sources for MSFS 2020 so far. To select the third-party cities, airfields/airports in the area I want to fly in, I use an add-on management tool, this prior to launching MSFS. This to avoid very long loading time. This procedure shows high effectiveness and efficiency.

Now, it came to my mind to try the same with add-ons downloaded from MarketPlace inside the game and moved respective folders/files from it's C:\Users\...\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore folder to another place on D:\

When starting MSFS 2020 for the first time after this it worked properly, showing respective add-ons in ContentManager as not-installed via MSFS but installed via add-on management tool.

But trying to launch MSFS 2020 for the next time, the failure as described in my first post occured.

Since moving all these folders back to it's official place ...\OneStore, the MSFS 2020 is running again great as expected and always experienced!!!


Therefore, there is no need to loose more time on my above described problems, they are resolved.

But please let me ask this additional question:

Is it possible to easily activate or deactivate add-ons downloaded and installed from MarketPlace depending on where you want to fly, this prior to launch the sim?
And if yes, how to do this?

Thank you very much for your time and engagement

Best regards

Johnny
