Xbox account ?

[Rene777 9]

Hello,

Still trouble shooting for 4 days now.  In knowledge base from aerosoft it says :

 

Do I need a Microsoft account to install Microsoft Flight Simulator?

Yes. A Microsoft account is required to purchase and install Microsoft Flight Simulator. The disk version of Microsoft Flight Simulator will guide you through the creation of an Xbox account should you not already have one.

 

But it doesn't ask for that !

I'm running a windows 10 pc,  should I still create an Xbox account ??

Greetings !

Doesn,t make a difference, just like I thought.

Is Microsoft going to solve things ?

i am sorry to say , but there is really no issue, most ppl got it installed ok.

you need to solve it on your side.

you need to have updated ms store app, xbxox app updated.

there might be youtube vids how to do it properly.

i certainly agree, its not the most handiest of procedures.

So the XBOX account thing causes issues.

I have FS installed on Windows on my Windows user Account.

I have an Xbox account as does my son. When he logs onto FS on my Windows account but using his XBOX account within FS he does not have access to the premium features- which seems odd,

There also doesnt seem much consistency in how various settings are shared across accounts.

If I create different controller profiles, my Son cant see them

If I change detail settings etc, he can see those. e.g- If I set to Ultra he gets Ultra.

 

Makes little sense.

System settings like display are more than likely global. User preferences, software version, 3rd party dloads, and controllers more likely tied to Xbox account. This is normal as a way to differentiate who purchased what. 

Same as setting up multiple logins on your PC. You do not see pictures, docs etc stored in default directories as they are based on user account.
