Hello,

Purchasing additional content on the Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020 marketplace can enhance your simulation experience significantly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure you can smoothly acquire new aircraft or any other add-ons on your Xbox Series S.

Step-by-Step Guide to Purchasing on the MSFS Marketplace:

  1. Access the Marketplace: First, ensure that your Xbox Series S is connected to the internet. Launch MSFS 2020, and from the main menu, navigate to the 'Marketplace' tab.
  2. Browse or Search for Content: You can either browse through the categories or use the search bar to find the specific aircraft you wish to purchase.
  3. Select Your Item: Once you find the desired add-on, select it to view details such as price, developer notes, and system requirements.
  4. Purchase the Add-On: If you decide to purchase, click the ‘Buy and Download’ option. You will need to confirm your purchase; make sure you have set up a payment method on your Microsoft account.
  5. Download and Installation: After purchase, the add-on will automatically download and install. You can check the progress in your 'Content Manager'.
  6. Enjoy Your New Aircraft: Once the installation is complete, the aircraft will be available in your hangar and ready to fly.

Additional Tips:

  • Check for Updates: Microsoft frequently updates the MSFS 2020 platform. Ensure your game is up-to-date to avoid compatibility issues with new add-ons.
  • Manage Storage: High-quality aircraft add-ons can be large in file size. Consider managing your console’s storage to accommodate new content without affecting performance.
  • Explore Bundles: Sometimes, bundles offer a cost-effective way to acquire multiple add-ons at a reduced price.

This process is quite straightforward, but if you encounter any issues or have further questions, feel free to ask here. Happy flying!
