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.

Hi Jamie,

I just read the help from Greg.

Take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fazJ1q95p0A

I have the same Problems. Now I tried to disable the firewall while downloading the game.

I wonder but it still loads the files.

Give it a try. I looked for a soultion since I bought the Game in December 2020.

I hope it works later when I start the firewall again.

Good luck

Wolfgang

OK Update:

everything went well for exactly three hours. The program starts normally about ten times.

And then? No idea I haven't changed anything in the system.

No update, nothing.

Now I have the same problem again as before, whether I deactivate the firewall or not.

The program starts up to the black loadingscreen and then it says goodbye.

it's just annoying.

Hi Greg,

I'm really struggling with the download/install of MFS2020. I have downloaded and uninstalled multiple times and I'm getting absolutely nowhere. Each time I've done it the same thing happens... It installs 1.4GB from the Microsoft Store, I open the program and runs through to makers of the game and goes to a picture of London and then crashes this has happened on each occasion I have tried it. It never gets to the full download screen! I have purchased the Deluxe version of the game. Can you please help?

Kind regards,

Jamie
