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.

    I am so angry with this purchase.  It will not launch.  Keeps asking for a disk....I am so angry with Microsoft.

    It would be unethical for me to tell you how to circumvent your IT department's Group Policy Settings.  Check with your IT department for validation that you can install the game and have them make the GPO changes.

    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.
