G-RFRY is being snarky, he is making a joke about the acronym FS2020 referring to the Aerosoft Flight Simulator 2020, not the new Microsoft Flight Simulator. A minority of forum members get triggered when people use the term FS2020 to refer to the new MFS. You can stop looking on the link he provided for anything related to MFS, it isn't there, and I apologize for the Avsim community if his unhelpful joke confused you.

He just got the dates wrong.

July 24, 20205 yr Author I understand that updates ARE free but I am talking about the initial cost of the program and where to purchase it from as Amazon say they will reduce if other sights are cheaper? thoughts

July 24, 20205 yr Author Just copied this from the UK Amazon web page: Pre-order Price Guarantee: order now and if the Amazon.co.uk price decreases between the time you place your order and the release date, you'll be charged the lowest price. Is that not good???

Did you have to ask for the refund? f you can find an item cheaper somewhere else, Amazon won’t match that price. What Amazon artfully neglects to add is that if you can find that item cheaper on Amazon up to 30 days after your purchase, Amazon will, in effect, match its new, lowered price by refunding you the difference.

Thanks for this info, I was wondering about this too. Its likely I will build a new machine and have to transfer FS2020 to the new one.
