Black screen in Microsoft Flight Simulator Premium Deluxe Edition

[MichaMMA]

let us first start with the easy stuff, because well known:

@SergeiKuzmin196

but when the file integrity check is enabled in Steam, the NFS 2020 check does not pass, all installed files in the Microsoft FlightSimulator folder are automatically deleted

Dont press “Verify files” in Steam, otherwise all will be reininstalled. There is open issue for that

Steam - Verify Integrity of Game Files Deletes All Content

Usings Steams ‘Validate File Integrity’ option deletes all simulator content without warning. Typically when using this option on other games in Steam, it seems to evaluate game files and re-aquires the ones that are damaged. Because this behaves differently for MSFS it catches users off guard on a regular basis. This is problematic as it forces unsuspecting users to require the simulator content, and may lead to them encountering the Only 2 aircraft bug. This can be especially upsetting for …

Then to the main problem:

to be sure: you installed MSFS the fist time ever , or is it a re-installation ?

You can may be try to remove files from AppData for a “fresh” start. Depends on where you have installed the Packages folder, you can remove the whole AppData\Microsoft_FlightSim… folder or not. If “Packages” was installed in Steam-Default location , then it sit within the AppData folder. Then you can remove all files/folders, except the Packages. Or you move the Packages folder to e.g. a D: drive and in next start of MSFS you set that Path in the “updater” ( so you not need to redownload ).
( e…g create a folder like D:\msfs , move Packages into so that you have D:\msfs\Packages )

Before you then Start MSFS again, ensure that you can login into the xbox app. Logout in xbox-app, Restart windows ( choose restart, not shutdown+start ) , Login into xbox app.
( note: gameing services are not needed for Steam users, so still optional also if that company MS will try to force you to install that buggy stuff ).

I also remember some rare cases, where the login dialog was in background. So try Alt+Tab and check whether a dialog is “waiting” while black screen is in front.
