    MSFS now asking for DVD on startup

    in Microsoft Flight Simulator Support Forum

    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?

    I read about this a while ago. I love technology advancements and I am heavily involved in real world aviation.

     

    But on this one I have to agree with Vanderlay just because we have the technology to do it doesn’t mean we have to do it. 
     

    Just my own personal thought, perhaps I’m also getting too old.

    Compatibility of Orbx Landmarks London City Pack with Microsoft World Update: United Kingdom

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by paulk

    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.

    Introducing Landmarks Brisbane City Pack for Microsoft Flight Simulator!

    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.
