jason deveson · Jun 5, 2023

I purchased FS about a year ago and my games drive crashed, so im trying to re-install it via the Microsoft store. when I click install nothing happens. it allows me to select which drive but then nothing. it just goes back to the install page?

thanks

I'm sorry to hear you're not able to install the Flight simulator, let's try to sort this out.

Please try installing the game using the Xbox app available on Windows. You can download it from the Microsoft store.
Once opened the Xbox app, go to My Library and try to install the game from there.

The download starts in that way? Share your feedback

Hi Ben,

Sorry no luck. I uninstalled the Flight Sim Labs, FSX steam went okay. Yet when I install the Flight Sim Lab, it crashed again.

I had the same issue... I had to completely exit Flight Sim, disconnect my X52 Pro, restart flight sim, and then open Flight Sim, go to Controls, and plug in my X52. If you try to remove the X52 while Flight Sim is still running, the workaround doesn't
work.

Tx. Like you, I have no need for Xbox , I just want to play flight sim. But ... I was forced to install the Xbox (beta) app to get the Flight sim work.

Well, if this is happening only with flight sim and both already tried reinstalling the game.
The next step will be reach Microsoft flight sim support
