I bought a brand new Premium Deluxe DVD boxed set from eBay.
The seller sent me the German version (accidentally on purpose). I guess he had to flog it to some mug.
Before I open it up, does anyone know if the DVD’s contents, program menus, aircraft panels, etc, etc will also be in German or just the packaging and manual ?

To be honest, I didn’t even know they published a German edition.
Thanks.
It’s still sealed in its shrink wrap. It certainly looks new.
It came from a UK seller, online store, not a private sale.
I’m guessing they ordered German stock by mistake and passed it on hoping I wouldn’t complain as I’m on the other side of the world.
Is there anyway I can just copy the Premium Deluxe content to my existing MSFS 2020 installation without having to do a complete re-install ? Anyone know?
At least I want to get some value from it.
Are you wanting to copy data from the DVD’s into MSFS? I’m confused…with MSFS constantly being updated every few weeks and month, why would you get a DVD set? The fastest way to do a reinstall is to download the full game/install and then copy the “official” folder to a place as a backup. When you want to reinstall, let the manager download up to 1% and then stop the downloader. Copy your backup “official” and replace the one where your MSFS install directory is. The sim should load right up or download whatever is missing or new since your last “backup”.
I bought it just as a collectible. I already have FS2020 installed.
Now I’m just wondering if I can at least update my ‘standard’ version with the missing content that comes on the premium deluxe edition.
As I was mistakenly sent a German copy, I’d at least like to get some value from it, but I have no idea how I can run the German Premium Deluxe DVDs and just extract that extra content to my existing msfs directories. If indeed that can be done. I don’t want all the hassle of a fresh installation.
I’ll probably just list it on ebay.
Cheers
Where on your PC is msfs installed?
If you buy it as an collectible just leave it as it is, there is not much more inside than the dvd´s and an small book introducing the premium content aircraft and airports.
As mentioned, the only way you could “update” is by running the standard game and having the manager download everything to the current build.
