My MS flight sime wont let me buy aircraft or content, it says there is a pending install...

Hi TonyScott8!

Did you mean there's an error "purchase pending"?

Please make sure to follow the suggested troubleshooting steps here https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/ar...

Hello koichiromatsuo,

Thank you for contacting the Xbox Support forums. I understand that you would like to purchase a specific aircraft that was available in the premium edition of Flight Simulator. While reading the Flight Simulator FAQ, it looks as though you are able to upgrade the version of the base game that you currently own. It does not appear as though you can purchase a specific aircraft from that pack separately.

For all add on content, you should see what is available in the marketplace found in the store. If you have downloaded additional content but only see a limited amount of aircrafts, please view How to install additional content.

If you have additional questions or if I didn’t quite answer your original question, please respond back to this thread.

Thank you!

Hopefully MS will solve this soon. One of the cool things was letting AI fly on auto for long flights. Now, when you turn on aircraft control the plane just goes in a straight line forever and wherever.

I used the prompt to create a folder called "Flight Simulator Content" on the same drive as my install, my install is from Windows Store (game pass PC) and it's not on the C: for the same reason as you.

Can't believe it's 2020 and they are still defaulting to C: instead of the same drive as the install...

It took a long time to download and decompress the 91.36GiB, which appears to include aircraft, airports, bushtrips, flights, tutorials, landing challenges, cockpits, materials, soundbanks, etc.

There is also an empty folder for "Community" which I assume is there for adding custom content.

Still waiting for it to wrap up so I can try this game out!

Hello AdriaanWhite,

Thank you for reaching out to us about your issue!

After investigating, I've found a few solutions on the Microsoft Flight Simulator Support website located here:

Steam - How to troubleshoot missing aircraft from the hangar/broken aircraft – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)

I believe that the "MISSING AIRCRAFT - PACKAGES SHOW AS "NOT INSTALLED"" section is related to your issue. If not, then I recommend reviewing the entire article to find a solution that works for you!
