I think they are used to buy DLC items from the marketplace.

I did a test, and bought myself a ÂŁ15 Microsoft Gift card on the store, the black one, not the green XBox one. When purchased you then receive a code, your typical string of letters, and numbers.

I then redeemed that code against my account, which credited me with ÂŁ15. I then bought an airport from the store, and it deducted the cost from my credit, leaving me with just over ÂŁ3.

thanks for taking the time with this …

so when you buy a plane (lets say) you buy it in your currency using your credit card , right ? then you buy / buy and download . this then get converted to flight sim credits …after you have it , am i right with this ?

If you buy something on the in-sim store, and you have no credit on your account, which I would guess is most people, when you buy something with your card, you buy enough “credits” to buy the item outright.

If you had credit on your account like I did, you convert that money into enoug ph credits to buy the item.

It no different to having credit on your Steam account in that regard.
