Flight sim DVD purchase, can I download instead?

Piper4me · Dec 28, 2021

We got Microsoft Flight Sim deluxe premium on DVD, but having issues with the install crapping out at random times. Can I download this instead to install? I can not for the life of me find how to do this.

There's no way to download the game since it's not a digital purchase. You can only install it from the disc.

Unfortunately, you can't...having it on DVD doesn't also give you access to the digital version. Only option you have is if you can return it to where it came from for a refund and then buy the digital version

Hiya!!

Unfortunately you will not be able to install the Microsoft Flight Sim X software back onto your PC without the DVD Drive. They are working on a newer version of the Flight Sim for PC which I believe will offer a digital version.

Happy Gaming!!

Is FS available on DVDs in the US?

No,

It's only going to be available on a 10 disc DVD's, just for Europe.

Flight Simulator 2020 is available to purchase on DVD or digital download. You cannot copy the download to a PC. If the PC Crashes and it needs reformatting and installing again, you just find it in your game library, and install the game from there.

For licences. For PC, you can install the game on 10 different PCs if you wish, and the game if you purchase it, will always be associated with your Microsoft account, so it is yours forever.

Thanks for your quick reply.
