Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Installation Problems

my friend I , have been trying to make a successful installation since August. .   I have a full 10 DVD set,  and all I get after activation  is a welcome screen,  with the next step update,  I  click on that then go into the garden.  I Have been doing this for over 3 months, hoping that one time  it might say. START. this is the longest download I have ever experienced,  it has at one time, overnight and all next day.  does it ever end.!    but I get so sick of it,  I just   reboot. and it still repeats its procedure.   My PC is speciality built  by me, with the highest specs required.

       so I have  a problem. MICROSOFT

    I would like to send a message , on behalf of all of us simmers To The Flight Simulation Team, at Microsoft,  who claim    Quote '''  world breaking Microsoft Flight simulator, the best Simulator that has ever been released. Unquote''   my   message is simple.  why dont you,  answer to us all?,    why we are having such major problems.? with this supposed to be the Best simulator on the planet,?    GET BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND START AGAIN,   give us back our hard earned money,  I have been flying  all of your Simulators  since 1998,  and its the worst one of your releases.   Thank you for X Plane 11.        So my very good friend,   I think you feel the same. are we ever going to fly ? and when if  how many more problems are there to face...…..            charles UK

Hello, Mathew.    I have now fully  implemented   your file, however I am sad to say  it didn't work.   I have a  constant loop   after  getting into the launch stage    I am given  or should I say  no option but to  update.   at one end of the screen.  it says  729Gigs and at the other end above the  update it has 37.gigs.     What I cant understand is   why it is not shutting off after  1 full 24 hours,   it still persists on downloading updates,  and I  am sure,   that cant be right  from installing  10 DVD s.      so my friend,  I am not any further on.  I did find away around the library problem, but  still no further on.   I think I did every thing you said  with the download,  so there is no question,   my fault isn't what  we thought when you kindly wrote to me.

Every time I try to boot the  Flight Sim from the library,   I just  get a start  all over again.    it does say pause on this download for updates,  and it has resume.    but if you shut down the computer  it wipes every thing out.    That's as much as I can say up to now. I did a step recorder,   for Germany, but   haven't had a reply at this time.   Don't know if you have any more help,    but thank you for all your interest.      Charles UK

thank you for this news.   I was trying to do it today,   but when I went to the website downloads you so kindly sent me,   it was a long list   and I was unable to find  the actual down load.   would you kindly send me  the answer to this    thank you      charles

This fix is only for download issues.

If you have the box set. Then you would not be downloading it so the fix wont apply for a DVD install

Although it could help you if you have issues when downloading and installing new patch releases.

All I can Say to this,  is   YES YOUR RIGHT in every word.   Steam are giving refunds to people.      but this is the digital down load I am talking about.   I don't know any one like me,   that's Has a Box set of 10 DVD, that has managed to fly.     Stay with X Plane.      the Microsoft Team bit off more than they could chew.

never since 1998    Flight Sim,   has there been a problem  Till now.   Load of ****.
