Correction to above I mean: Digital Ownership File not Digital Authority File as I quoted above.

Hi I know what the problem was and I think I’ve fixed it. I notice there have been a lot of views to my post so will provide an answer in the hope it helps others who may have issues. Firstly thanks to Doug and Craig for responding. I originally purchased the DVD Premium Deluxe Version but had to uninstall it a few months ago due an issue with MSFS crashing when loading a second flight from Main Menu. Instead of loading all the DVDs again and then a massive update I just did a clean install via Marketplace which I was allowed to do for free as I had redeemed my DVD version code. 1st May my Xbox Ultimate (1 Year Pass expired and was not renewed). The Xbox Ultimate Pass is for my sons Xbox not me. This appears to have caused me the issue and not as I first thought the last update. I have researched and found out that I needed to have a Digital Authority File installed for MSFS to run without the requirement for DVD 1 installed to Authenticate my MSFS installation- which I didn’t. The only way I could get the Digital Authority File to install was to purchase a 1 month Xbox Ultimate Pass. Out of interest MSFS loaded immediately upon purchasing the Xbox Ultimate Pass again. I have now installed the Digital Authority File for MSFS and am just left wondering once 1 month has passed and the Xbox Ultimate Pass expires again if the Digital Authority File really will worked as advertised. Any comments welcome or anyone got experience of the MSFS Digital Authority File?

Hi Doug The sim was last updated a few days ago to what I believe is the latest update (sorry not near PC). I always try to keep Windows/Orbx Central Products/MSFS fully updated and check every few days.

Hi Craig I have but they are a friendly bunch of people on this forum and you never know someone may of had the same issue as me and may be able to help.

Hi I originally bought the DVD version of MSFS. Since last update when I start MSFS it asks for DVD 1 to be installed. It sits in DVD player and all works fine, no idea why it’s started asking for it. Only one else got the same issue or know a fix please?

Great screenshots

Thanks Jon, looks great can’t wait to try.

kl791 that’s sounds really good, I can’t wait to try it. I am sure I used it in P3d as well. Regarding Ferries, would you know if BC Ferries have been included up in the PNW? thanks.

Thanks Jon

Hi This sounds good, would you know if it works or clashes with the Orbx Singapore scenery where there are lots of ships or the Channel islands boat add on? Will be tomorrow before I can try so just wondered in advance Thanks.

I like it!

I’ve avoided London since the update, but last night I tried Birmingham and it’s PG looked good to me (I have my settings on High) I also tried Seattle and NYC and I’m sure they are looking even better post this last update, not sure if they’ve done anything behind the scenes with these or PG in general. Just an observation. I thought I read somewhere Asobo were trying to get the PG to be displayed better (read so much it all rolls into one these days), so maybe wrong.

Wow they are really good, I am really beginning to like the drone for screenshots. You obviously are very good with it.

I've never been to Brisbane but I will be buying a copy of it asap. I love these City Packs as much as the Airport add-ons, they look so real in MSFS 2020. Since we can't travel anywhere at the moment these City Packs are a great escape. Now who do I need to speak to at Orbx to request a Vancouver City Pack, would be good to whiz around with my float plane.

Hi Just wondering if there is a list of airports that are planned to be converted from P3d to MSFS2020 If so I would love to see Squamish.

Had a holiday around Bryce and other areas years ago, truly amazing area and I am sure the scenery will do it justice too.

Think it’s on hire while theirs goes for annual service

Sorry Guys following today’s news it looks like BA are about to retire all their 744s. Sadly the Covid 19 virus is forcing there early retirement. I love the Jumbo Jet.

Thanks Holger I look forward to this.

Have a great time guys and girls. Wish I was there too, weather awful in UK this weekend. As someone said it would be a great platform to release TE Washington from :) I also loved the Harbor Air seaplanes photo. An area I’ve visited many times over the years (Vancouver Coal Harbor) so who’s the lucky person who lives on Vancouver Island (CYYJ)
