Well that cured me

I hmm'd and hah's and finallt bit the bullet and paid for MSFS Deluxe. Only trouble is it would not give me a link to download it. So after an hour I gave up requested and got a refund. I will stick to P3Dv5

Where did you try to get it from, Simon - Microsoft Store or via Steam ?

[simondix]

Microsoft store

[Paul K]

Ah okay. If you ever feel tempted again, go the Steam route. I found it very straightforward.

[simondix]

Thank you

You don't get a download link, you just install it from within the Xbox app

open the Xbox App, and all the games you have purchased are there. Then click on "install"

TBH, I bought the deluxe version and wouldn't do it again. I'd go with standard and then if you still feel the urge you can get the updates if you really want them.

Went through steam. Is downloading but keeps freezing and have to switch the PC off and start downloading more. Got 80gb downloaded so far. Downloading in safe mode.

[simondix]

What a palaver. Finally got the download finished. Now decompressing

That's just the start of it !

[simondix]

You're right. It then wiped off the first 40 sceney programmes. So I uninstalled and have started again
