Hi all

I have pre-ordered the premium deluxe version of FS2020 about a month ago and installed the small file less than 30mb.

I just went on the microsoft store and pressed "checked for updates" and it downloads a 1.03GB update for FS2020. I wonder if this is starting to download day by day so as not to overload the servers on the 18th.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Shhhhhhh! 🤫 Don't tell anybody. Let us be the first to download this update before the servers are overloaded! 😉 Yes, I think all those who pre-ordered are receiving this.

MSFS 2020 & 2024 / Windows 11 / Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF / MSI Pro Z890-S WIFI / Samsung 970 EVO PLUS M.2 500GB / Corsair Vengeance DDR5 48GB 7000MHz / MSI Geforce RTX 4070Ti Super

Apparently it's an updated launcher.  It says version 1.7.11.  I don't know what the previous version was, maybe someone can check.

I have that as well. But don't want to install it from there since I'm using Steam.

I check the Windows Store and downloaded and installed the update to my C drive (that's my 2 TB SSD and where I want MSFS), but I'll be darned if I can find where the stinking files were installed! 😫

I'm so clueless about a PC that all I know is that I have 1 drive (C:) and it's 1TB SSD which I hope is enough for a while. Haven't even bothered to go looking for any files.

May all your landings be safe ones!

From the MS Store, click on games tab. Select MSFS. You should see a note that you already own this game. Chose Install.

I don't know. I just opened the Store and it automatically started downloading....or at least that's what I think I did....

I have already installed it once.   Is this an additional download?   Probably already did it for me?
