[table][tr][td]Q: Can I upgrade editions?A: Yes it is possible to purchase Upgrade bundles from the in-game Marketplace, but the most cost-efficient way to purchase Microsoft Flight Simulator is to buy the edition you are interested in. If you purchase an upgrade from the Marketplace, it is more advantageous to purchase the Premium Deluxe Upgrade.[/td][/tr][/table]

[table][tr][td]Q: If I buy an Upgrade Pack or an aircraft/airport in the Marketplace, can I continue playing Microsoft Flight Simulator after my Game Pass subscription runs out?Upgrade Packs and additional content do not include the Microsoft Flight Simulator base game. To continue playing Microsoft Flight Simulator you’ll need to purchase a digital copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator standard edition from the Microsoft Store or renew your Game Pass subscription.[/td][/tr][/table]

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. So in response to your questions re flight simulator and minecraft,

- For your Microsoft Flight Simulator, did you install any mods?

No

- Are you able to play the Microsoft Flight Simulator before?

Yes, played it several times in months after purchase

- Have you done any changes on the Microsoft Flight Simulator?

No

- For your Minecraft, may I ask what did you copy from the Mojang site?

Have found a confirmation email saying I now just use my microsoft account details via the minecraft launcher so this issue is resolved.

Kind regards

You don't need to buy subscription to be able to play the game.

That's great - thankyou very much for confirming.

In addition, You also don't need to install those files to play offline.
