I. DELUXE AND PREMIUM DELUXE ENTITLEMENT

Before doing anything else, make sure that you are logged in to the Steam and Microsoft account used to purchase a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator Deluxe or Microsoft Flight Simulator Premium edition.

NOTE: The additional content cannot be shared with other Steam accounts.

A) Check the Time & Language settings of your PC

On your PC, select Start, then select Settings > Time & Language. 

• Go to Date & time to verify your time & timezone settings
• Go to Region to check your location.

These settings must match the location and time zone in the Microsoft account and the Steam account used to purchase the sim. 

B) Stabilize the connection
