Why is the steam version different from the MSoft store version? Why is the MSoft store version called Xbox? Why are all the install locations so different? Why is there a store launcher for the main exe? Why why why? It’s all so helter skelter which basically is doomed to present and future problems. I suppose other authors may feel differently, but I am getting the sense that this is the norm around here.įor the life of me, I do not understand why Asobo would create a program like MSFS 2020 that has multiple install methods depending on source. But I have finally contacted them and they have indicated that after the marketplace version is released, they will continue to support both.

You will not need to pay for it again if you don’t install it again from the marketplace.Īlso, many if not most addons are delivered as a. In this case, your addon that you already installed and may have paid for is not affected by the one in the marketplace. The OP also asked about the marketplace and how it is handled when an add-on already exists and is then added to the marketplace.
