December 19, 2025Dec 19 Hello Jack: If you don’t wish to use Steam, you can buy MSFS2024 from Microsoft Store. Consider buying first via Game Pass subscription for a month. If it works out, then you can buy it outright, which is what I’d done. Good luck.

It's been a long time since I bought 2020. Jack Sawyer

Jack: If you have MSFS2020 from the Store, then you have the Xbox App on your PC. So, now, you just buy the Game Pass subscription for MSFS2024, through the Xbox App. Note, I have MSFS2024 on Xbox not PC, but the process is same. If needed, please look for on-line videos how to install. Hope, you get going on MSFS2024 soon…

In any case, the plane was incredible - I’d never been on a widebody, and even back in 1997 it felt like the planes were old and on borrowed time. Just massive feeling, in retrospect like riding aboard a 1972 vintage 777? I remember the engines making this odd “chanting” noise during taxi I’ve not heard before or since. On this trip I also discovered the BOXES on display for the soon to be released FS98, so I spent way too much time dreaming about that in addition to normal honeymoon stuff. 😂 Needless to say I’ll be buying this Day 1 and I hope someone does the blue and gold ATA “runway” old scheme (both our planes were painted that way). A word of wisdom to youngsters from this 50 year old - savor and enjoy flights, especially on old birds - someday you’ll be proud to say you actually got to ride aboard a 737-700 or CRJ-200 etc. Words of wisdom indeed

I joined and now I'll be paying $9.99 a month for something I can't even download per my plan. I have no idea what I'm doing so maybe someone could help me figure out how I can get 2024.
