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.

    That setting you see is telling you that your computer's network interface card is configured for 100 Mbps.  You will need to manually change that configuration in your network settings.  From the window you have copied, click on "Properties."  In the "Properties" dialog box click on the "Advanced" tab.  Below the tabs you will see a box to the left with the word "Property:" above it.  Scroll down in the box until you find "Speed & Duplex."  Click on the words and in the "Value:" box to the right you will see a drop down list.  Click on the drop down list and select "1.0 Gbps Full Duplex."  Click OK.  You may need to reboot, but it should solve your low network settings on your computer.

    hi,
    I bought the Flight simulator standard DVDs I installed them and I went to https:\microsoft.com\redeem and then I entered the code.

    When I want to run the game I will go to this page

    but in my computer Microsoft store is blocked by IT department because privacy issue and I am not able to add any personal Microsoft account to my computer .

    how can I activate and launch the flight simulator without Microsoft store or adding personal Microsoft account to my computer ? I have full local admin right on this computer

    I bought the game by DVDs and I have Microsoft account and internet and spend time to install 10 DVDs successfully

    Why  I should add my account to computer or use the Microsoft store is this kind of dictatorship?

    please help me to find the offline activator and game launcher.

    Best regards,

    Ehsan
