Microsoft Flight Simulator X (Disc edition) activation code not working

Hi Angelo,

Thanks for your post. I understand you are experiencing an issue with launching Flight Simulator X Gold Edition and receiving the error code: 1-80004005 . To troubleshoot this issue please check out this support page:

Flight Simulator X - Error.

I hope this helps.

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

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Windupboy82, because this is a specific MSFS issue, the idea would be to contact Zendesk support (MSFS) so they can guide you correctly.

Hello! Microsoft Flight Simulator has three versions. Here is the list of what's in them. I will bold what you are looking for.

• The Microsoft Flight Simulator Standard Edition ($59.99 USD) includes 20 highly detailed planes with unique flight models and 30 hand-crafted airports. The Standard Edition will be available on day one with Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta).
• The Deluxe Edition ($89.99 USD) includes everything from Microsoft Flight Simulator’s standard edition plus 5 additional highly accurate planes with unique flight models and 5 additional handcrafted international airports.
• The Premium Deluxe Edition ($119.99 USD) includes everything from Microsoft Flight Simulator Standard Edition plus 10 additional highly accurate planes with unique flight models and 10 additional handcrafted international
  airports.

The game will span across 10 discs.

Flight Simulator X isn't. That is an old game. However Microsoft Flight Simulator is.
