Great to see another seafaring brethren. I couldn't quite resolve your uniform cover's insignia - Coast Guard? I see you were a Warrant Officer - not sure of the grade. I was a Naval Aviator for 8 years. Counting my trainers, I typed in 5 different AC. My primary role was reconnaissance. The best plane I ever flew was the North American Vigilante RA-5C. Like all of us, I'm aging up too. I retired from active flying 15 years ago. I too enjoy playing this sim, especially when you can complete your trip.

The abbreviation I used in my post - AV - references my anti-virus protection. I would not normally suggest to anyone they disable their computer's protection, but in this context I did that for a specific download. Here's a way to see your computer's update status: press the Windows key in the lower left corner of your keyboard - the key with the Windows symbol on it; when the Search field opens at the bottom left, type "winver" - without the quotes. When the status of your windows OS displays, make sure you have the latest version indicated: 21H1. If 21H1 is not indicated, then you have to download that update from Microsoft. Once you've established that you have 21H1 installed, follow the other directions I outlined above in my earlier post to download Flight Simulator. Good luck, Robert. Let us know how you make out.

    Give it up brother……we are all lost souls on the MSFS Titanic……..

    As for me with life jack on I sought the exit while the program sits on the bottom of my computer’s memory waiting to be rediscovered by a salvager.

    Maybe, just maybe, Asobo and MS will one day save us and bring the MSFS Titanic back to life.

    Yep! That is exactly where I am. Gave up on MSFS and gone back to XPlane - reliable, dependable, and avionics that are actually fully programmable to fly instrument approaches.

    Very disappointed and feel completely ripped off by MS.

    Don't feel too bad...I've gotten it to "work", somewhat. Not that it matters, you can rest assured that if you play the game long enough--there will eventually come a time when an "update" will bring you to the point where you're no longer able to fly! ;)
