Disk 6 has been surprise removed (my PC has no Disk 6) and Flight Simulator 2020 crash

[John_the_auditor]

When playing Flight Simulator 2020, the following disk 6 error arises, immediately followed by Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 crashing also. This should be impossible since my PC has no Disk 6, with the motherboard only supporting 5.
