Hello!I understand the issue you're encountering with the flight plan disappearing after reloading a saved flight in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It can be frustrating, but don't worry, I have a workaround that might help you with this problem....

Is there a way I can buy that aircraft or do I have to upgrade to that edition. If that is the case, does upgrading reset anything like my flight log book? Settings? Is it like a whole new sim install??

As someone that paid extra for the deluxe premium edition I would not like the aircraft to be offered to others , after all i paid more to get the deluxe, why should you get the aircraft i paid extra to get ?

Disagree, the additional content should only be available to those that paid for the whole upgrade edition, exclusively, after all if you want the aircraft, pay for the upgrade like everyone else has has too.

111895 Hi, I bought the Flight Simulator Premium Deluxe version in pre-order for my Xbox series X. Now in the game, I do see I have the Premium content, but not the premium deluxe content. So I only get the 5 extra planes and 5 extra airports.

Same here! I pre ordered the Premium Deluxe edition in June but I have only received the Premium content and not the Deluxe edition content. So there are 5 aircraft and 5 airports missing. My ticket ID is: 111979

Microsoft Flight Simulator X, also known as FSX, was the 2006 successor to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 in the Microsoft Flight Simulator series. It includes a graphics engine upgrade as well as compatibility with Windows Vista, having been marketed by Microsoft as the most important technological milestone in the series to date. It is the first version in the series to be released on DVD-ROM.

Flight Simulator X marked the tenth version of the popular line of flight simulators. It was officially released to the US market on October 17, 2006. According to Microsoft's website for the game, a standard edition features everything from navaids to GPS and airways. It also included 18 planes, 28 detailed cities, and 40 highly detailed airports. The deluxe version featured 24 types of aircraft and 38 highly-detailed cities.

The simulator was officially unveiled at the 2006 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) as a gaming showcase for Microsoft Windows Vista with Windows 7 compatability following. Microsoft released screenshots as well as a list of frequently asked questions as a press release on Flight Simulator Insider, as well as numerous flight simulator communities (see External links). This also included mission-based gameplay with mission specific aircraft as well as an upgraded rendering engine capable of increased detail.

Following the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in May 2006, Microsoft published new screenshots, videos and an official trailer. The overall reaction by the community was quite positive and the graphical quality of the simulator had greatly increased. Flight Simulator X had a required system performance rating of 3 for Windows Vista and a recommended rating of 5.

The following aircraft are non-playable aircraft built only for scenery and ambience. They can be seen in-sim during missions on when landing at specific airports. They are also sometimes a key part of missions as well.

The simulator includes 24,222 airports[4] with the vast majority being procedurally generated. There are 39 hand-crafted airports in the Standard edition with an additional 5 hand-crafted airports added in Deluxe edition and another 4 in the Acceleration expansion.[5]

The inclusion of Missions adds a new facet to the simulation, adding task oriented goals, and encouraging users to fly worldwide, rather than just from their home field. Although a similar concept was available in previous versions, the new implementation of multipath & event oriented situations substantially extends the potential for user interaction.

Pilots earn Rewards for completing various missions, and reaching specific accomplishments throughout the game, (in 'Free Flight'). Some of the rewards exist as hidden "easter eggs" to be discovered by pilots.[8] Some missions have multiple and hidden rewards, receipt being dependent on performing additional actions.

There are several songs on the soundtrack, the most noticeable is the song "Pilot for Hire" by Stan LePard.[9] This song plays during the menu of the game. The song "Emergency Response" is featured in several missions. Both songs can be heard on his website.

Flight Simulator X is notable for being the first product in Microsoft's Flight Simulator series to have a demo which contained a subset of features of the retail product including a restriction to the duration of a flight. It required Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista for installation.

The first limited demo of Flight Simulator X was released to the public on 2006-08-09 and available for download on the official website. Even though playable, the August demo represented a beta release of the product and had a number of bugs, some of which were recognized in the official installation's README file. On 2006-10-02 the demo was superseded by a newer release which, while containing fewer bugs, is almost identical to the first demo. The DHC-2 Beaver was removed in favor of a Learjet 45. Both of the demos feature primarily feature Princess Juliana International Airport as the main airport. Terrain is limited to Sint Maarten in the Netherlands Antilles and its surrounding area only.

Microsoft released another service pack for Flight Simulator X about the same time as its expansion pack (below). The update is primarily for Vista users that have DirectX 10 (DX10) compatible graphics adapters. The DX10 version takes advantage of DX10's improved shader model and more pixel pipelines and increased performance for Vista, approaching overall FSX performance on XP. It also adds the capability for players who do not have the expansion pack to participate in multiplayer activities with users of the expansion pack, along with support for multi-core processors.[11][12] FSX-SP2 also fixes some more bugs over Flight Simulator X. SP1 is not compatible with SP2 or Acceleration in Multiplayer. People with SP1 cannot enter a session with players who have SP2 or Acceleration in Multiplayer.According to the documentation you are required to install Service Pack 1 before installing Service Pack 2.
