    I recently bought Microsoft Flight Simulator. I ran it for a month.

    Yesterday I got this POP-UP that exits the game and opens the Microsoft Store. After multiples of searches and update attempts, I was not able to load the mandatory update, as it could not be found.

    The POP-UP states: GAME UPDATE AVAILABLE

    A new mandatory update is available. Please update Microsoft Flight Simulator in the Microsoft Store before launching.

    I need a fix otherwise I'm stuck in limbo until the next update comes out and you fix this error.

    I've had MSFS since version 5.0, and never have I been unable to play the game.

    I bought the Premium Deluxe version, and from now on, other than the OS, I'm off Microsoft products forever. This is lousy workmanship!

    I opened a ticket, and the only advice they gave me was give me a link to a list of phone numbers divided by global areas. I called all numbers, and after going through all the options, the same response was to contact help.microsoft.com.
    No wonder there are so many Sim'mers are in limbo.
    This is a first for MSFS. I've been a Sim'mer since version 5.0, and was always able to play the game regardless of update.
    I've seen one solution ; to uninstall the game and reinstall it. I think it's 15 or so Gigs to have to re-download. Please tell me there's another way!

    :)

    You are probably missing some update. Run automatic updates and see if something is not up to date.

    when I’m downloading Microsoft flight simulator, it tells me I do not have enough disk space when I have 158 GB available in my disk. It tells me I need to have 150 gb free. And I have 158 gb free.

    If you want to download the game, you will need more memory than specified, as there is a major update that is mandatory.

    In addition, 280 updates with 99 Gbyte are possible and available to install for the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator. 16 world updates with 54GBytes of downloadable content.

    It is therefore possible that there is not enough storage space available, even though the game could be installed. The Game itself has 83 Gbyte + Updates (150 Gbyte)!

    Rolling Cache 8Gbyte!

    Thanks for your comment friend, but I don't know about steam. I was using FSX Acceleration, and still do. I love flying military aircraft that I have downloaded, mostly because of their capabilities.
    Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

    Best of luck, (Hodně štěstí)
