Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 asks to 'insert disc' upon startup even though game has...

If you’re inserting it, that tells me you bought the Windows disc version and live in Europe, or that you bought a copy of Flight Simulator X which is PC only. There is no Xbox disc release at this time.

No disc version of Flight Simulator will work on any Xbox

Flight Simulator 2020 only works on Series consoles, One consoles are not compatible

I solved the issue as follows.

- Open FS2020 - get "Insert game disk..." prompt; left Window open

- Open Digital Ownership page for FS2020 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/digital-ownership/9nhnch1hdgg5?activetab=pivotverviewtab)

- Sign out - Sign back in to make sure the account that has Game Pass is selected

- Install should be available; target appropriate device (I had two) that has the game installed

- Wait (not sure if it is needed, but it took me 2 restarts of FS2020 before it worked)

- Close and reopen FS2020

Opened feedback (Win+F) item "Flight Simulator 2020 asks for Game disk, Digital Ownership is installed" - feel free to upvote.

Thank you so much. This fixed my issue but I did not need to restart the game multiple times.

Hi .

Try using this link : Digital Ownership.

This did not give me an option to uninstall, unfortunately.
