But I bought a new PC (everything new) and installed Flight Simulator 2020 also there and I have not the bug with the “Frankfurt - Points of Interests”.

All I can sya is that at the time I installed the FS 2020 on the new PC I hadnd’t the NVidia App installed (just the old NVidia System control was there), so I hadn’t to update FS2020 with the NVidia App to get it started. Maybe this could be a reason? Otherwise I am now on AMD Ryzen 9800X3D and RTX 5070 Ti instead of Intel 14600 and RTX 4070 Super. I don’t know if this could be a reason why it is installing correct now. But to be honest our bug is really rare, otherwise much more users would have the problem.

我已经解决这个问题了,确实是通过客服技术支持来解决的,以下是官方回复,而且我本人账号也已经可以在微软飞行模拟中开启柏林或者阿尔卑斯山脉的探索飞行。

Hi jiakai,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Flight Simulator Support today. We are sorry that you are facing this situation with the package and thanks for your patience while we looked into this.

We’ve now granted the Frankfurt Points of Interest package to your account manually with the gamertag 佳凯#4580. When you try to start the Berlin or Pennine Alps Discovery Flights again, you should now see a prompt to install the missing POI package.

Please go ahead and launch the Discovery Flight once more, when the popup appears, you should now be able to download and install the required content successfully.

If the issue persist after installing the package, just let us know and we’ll be happy to take another look.

Kind regards,
Microsoft Flight Simulator Support Team
