Title: MS Flight Simulator 2020
Post by: Max on August 19, 2020, 08:54:34 AM

So I did the 90 GB d/l (repleat with hours of annoying music you can't disable) To my best knowledge, the install was complete. When I rebooted the program, I get hung up at the "Set Your Experience" screen.

My Windows updates are current and I turned off the Windows firewall/Defender.  Any clues where my problem lies?

Thanks!

hitting esc seems to have fixed the issue  :banana: :airplane:

Very passable though I’ve only taken one hop. My specs are i54690 3.5 m cpu, GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB card and 8 Gb RAM though I’ve got 16 g more coming today.
 The satellite imagery is impressive .

Cool.... it should run fantastic on mine then. Think I will go with the full package. Might as well.

I guess the game is very well optimized looking at the "recommended" specs.  Very generous hardware wise. 

Wasn't really interested in it because;

a) does it have spitfires?
b) can I engage in aerial combat? 

Some of the visuals do look great the weather/cloud/terrain systems etc.   Will have to check it out.

I'm hoping A2A Simulations gets onboard with FS2020 soon. There isn't and SDK, so as far as I can tell no freebie stuff will be out for a long time.

Well they named it funny. Almost like deluxe deluxe lol. In any case the one with the most aircraft and hand worked airports.

I'll be ShufflerP38 in MSFG 2020. Looks like it will be an hour and a half to download.

There are posts on STEAM about how to overcome the stuck update problems.
