[FIXED ON LIVE 1.19.8.0] You are missing packages that are essential to run Microsoft Flight Simulator. Please update the application and try again

Hey everyone,

I just moved from xbox to PC. Clean install.

I was facing the issue too and I was unable to solve it with the suggestions provided in this thread. What worked for me was deleting the fs-base-ingamepanels-metar folder located under

C:\Users\<YOURUSERNAME>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore
