Nope!
To mark this important milestone in Flight Simulator's journey, Microsoft partnered with some of the best third-party developers to inject new life into the game. The 40th Anniversary Edition comes free of charge for those who already own the base title or play it via Xbox Game Pass.

had a problem where the mandatory updates were crashing Steam partway through the download. running CHKSDK and removing one stick of RAM appeared to have fixed this problem. (still need to reinstall the RAM and run MemTest on them)

Just popped in to say, if you havent played the (free, yay) Dune download expansion for MS 2020 you are missing out on one of the great joys in life. THe ornithopter is an absolute blast to fly.
