March 31, 20242 yr Maybe I'm missing something here (or maybe I'm just being an word not allowed - apologies in advance!)... but... Why would Steam/Valve have anything to do with purchases made in MS Markedplace, inside MSFS (I assume that's where you placed your order?) I mean - once you startup Microsoft Flight Simulator and are 'inside' the game, isn't purchases for the Marketplace made through Microsoft and not Steam? Granted I'm not sure about the procedure, as I have never purchased any thing through the Marketplace... As far as I can ascertain, Steam only 'hosts' the launcher/installer for the MSFS. Or am I missing something (obvious) ? Sorry in advance for the stupid questions. 🙂 Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471
March 31, 20242 yr I’m surprised Orbx still has LIEO v1 for sale in the MS Marketplace, it really should have been pulled from sale when v2 was announced at least.

April 1, 20242 yr technically what you're buying is a digital currency which is then used to redeem for whatever product you buy on the marketplace. That's why if you look at your receipt it says something like Flight Sim Credits or whatever. So you're not buying that product directly, which is probably a way to get around refunds.

So, the purchase itself is actually made through Steam.
