My MSFS crashed the other day due to some sort of folder corruption, I reloaded from the Store and inadvertently loaded the Basic edition when I had purchased the "De Lux". I discovered this when I restarted MSFS and found only two aircraft available. No worry I thought I just went back and re-installed the "De Lux " edition. Fired it up and I still have only two aircraft in my stable. Can anyone help me retrieve of my "De Lux" edition aircraft or at least reveal where the MSFS Aircraft are stored. Everything else if just fine.

The delux aircraft are encrypted so there is more to it than just copying them.

Try adding them form the content manager ?

Otherwise you might need to uninstall/reinstall.

You have it, it's just not installed. You have to go into the content manager in MSFS and re-download the extra content.

Happened to me also... the initial content only includes two airplanes.

The Content Manager offers up the others..

Sorry for my ignorance but where do I find the content manager?

It should show up in game as an option under your "profile" I believe.

Thanks I will have a look in there.

Thanks to I went to my MSFS Content folder ticked all the item boxes and then "told" it to update all. It took a while but all my items were Recovered/Updated. I only wish MS published some Product management information when you buy their products. It is like buying a new complex car without a Car Manual, you don't need strip the car but you do need to find out where everything is and what the buttons are for.  

Never read the manual. This is the LAW. At least it is in the UK.

Yep, just happened to me too. Not just aircraft, but pretty much all the extra airports and landmark stuff. Looks like only the very minimum of stuff got installed with my "re-install"
