MSFS2020 Premium edition

JimMyers5 · Aug 8, 2020

I am purchasing the MSFS2020 that will be available for download on the 18th of this month. As I understand it, downloading it through Xbox (beta), everything is automatic and that may be an issue for me. My PC uses SSD for the C drive where the OS is.
That has the tenancy to fill up fast. My G drive is a Terabyte of SSD to use for games, photos, videos and such.

So.... How can I control the digital download of the sim if it's all automatic? I've not purchased anything from M/S that way yet and don't want to install large programs onto that (256GB) C drive. I haven't been able to find a setting for that program
that controls where something might be installed automatically. I need to be able to send it to the G drive.

Also, I saw in some of the reviews of the new sim, it will be available as a pack of CD's with an owners manual if you want it that way and an image of that is even shown on some of the reviews. For me, that would be the preferable way but I'm having trouble
figuring out how to purchase it that way. If anyone knows, I could use the help.

Thanks in advance

Well, thanks for the reply however that is a disappointment.

What about my 1st question re: how can I control the installation to the drive I need it to go to? And if I choose to use it on one of my other PC's, will there be a way to re-install it w/o having to purchase it again?

Thx in advance

The DVD 10 disc edition is only available to you if you live in Europe, The game is not available on DVD disc outside of Europe.

Well yesterday it downloaded in the premium edition but not quite as I had hoped. I set it up to D/L to my 'G' drive which is SSD figuring it would work better. However it loaded primarily to my 'D' drive which is a SATA II which is a conventional drive
and set up for data, photos, music, etc. Is there anyone that can help me remotely get it straightened out?

And I haven't checked yet to see if the standard edition is loaded somewhere. If it is, can I install it w/o hurting the 'Premium' edition I have?

Thx

BTW, was playing with it last night. It operates pretty clunky but I think it might be better if I can get it all loaded on my 'G' drive.
