Still broken.

It doesnā€™t give you an account - you use the same game account to login there that you use to login into the sim. In any case, if itā€™s says Sign In in the upper right, it means youā€™re not logged in.

Sorry to add ā€œone moreā€ but I just got the .21 beta update, now Iā€™m getting this again (on Windows Store version)

Interesting to see my ā€œMain Threadā€ activity while the ā€œinsert Game Diskā€ screen is being displayed.

Might be normal. idk.

i cleaned out my %appdata%temp folder rebooted, updated to v 1.27.21.0 , rebooted now all goodā€¦so far

let me try that, thank you!

You might want to log out of everything and try again, since the .21 update has dropped everywhere. It might start working for you now. Its possible the game was rejecting you because you were on a newer version before the servers were.

where is this folder precisely? Iā€™ve tried signing out (of everything MS related), rebooting multiple times, still getting this error. Iā€™m on Windows Store version (not Steam)

1.27.21.0

I deleted my files from:
C:\Users\userid\AppData\Local\Temp
and Restart.
but it still shows ā€œInsert Diskā€

MS Store version.

Same hereā€¦ this is getting annoying, wasted an hour on this.

@iinKWest , for your info.

Just noticed that my MS Store Icon for my Flight Simulator 2020 Deluxe has a download Icon next to it.

When I click it, it shows this screen like it is installing for the first time.
Is this why it is asking for a Game Disk?

Microsoft Flight Simulator has an ā€œOpenā€ icon and says it was just updated, 1.27.21.0 .

MSFS Digital Ownership has an ā€œOpenā€ icon.

Iā€™m also experiencing this issue after updating the MS Store version from .18 to .21. Iā€™ve tried a few potential solutions in this thread (clearing temporary files, signing out of the Xbox app, renaming community folder) with no success. I also received Gaming Services 6.69.8002.0 today.

MS Store versionā€¦showing 1.27.21.0 in the window bar.
