I seem to have kicked from the BETA without me leaving and now ive lost everything. FS2020 is uninstalled ! WHY !!! ??? 
Because SU10 was released last week. It is explained that the possibility of having to reinstall the game was a factor during the beta

But I did not leave the BETA - It was said we just stay on to get Beta 11 ? I did nothing and now its all lost…I had my install in a custom location too.
Dude that was the OLD way - the new way is to STAY on the beta and be included on all future BETA’s - they doi not remove people that joined BETA’s anymore ( unless you leave manually ) - or so they said - there was even a post about it from Jane

It doesn’t work that way any more. At least it shouldn’t.
This is the new, most current info on beta participation

Source? Forum post? timestamp on a Q&A or are you trying to incur the mandela effect?
100% ^^^ - I was removed somehow - I didn’t choose to opt out of it manually.
Anyone else experiencing this ?
There have been some reports of this happening. If you’ve installed to another location, your install is intact. You’ll just need to point to the install location. (has happened to me).
If you have installed to the “default” location, this will get wiped out.

I’m on Steam plus I have my content installed to a custom location, so 100% not affected by this, even though I left the beta on SU10 launch day before those new instructions were posted. Unfortunate for you though. Sorry you have to go through the reinstall again.
Hi Hester
My stuff was installed to a custom location. Not the default…
In my case it was C:\Games.…
This is all that is left in there
Okay and i’m asking you to get your facts straight and cite your source.
Link me the post from Jane please
There you go my friend

go figure i posted some of this as a screenshot lol
Anyway - re-install it is. I cancelled my gamepass and just bought it in Steam. I probably paid for FS2020 4 times over during the past 2 years, and was thinking of doing this anyway.
Still mad at this dumb process to be fair - this sort of thing should not happen.
Yes, I heard this as well.
The game files are inside the Official folder under OneStore.
When the sim wants to do a reinstall just point the install directory to your custom location.
It was all gone. I have since removed FS2020 completely and purchased the Steam version and that is now up and running.
Think I’ll think twice joiningh the BETA again, doesnt seem to makker how i install it, it always gets wiped.
What i just do not understand though is how and why i got removed from the BETA, because i never left ???
That’s purely an MS Store issue. No issues like that exist with Steam. Also, now you don’t need all these extra layers of Xbox Live, MS Store, and all the other loosely connected Rube Goldberg middleware running between clicking the icon and having the sim running. It’s just Steam and MSFS and it just works.
