Even if it is PDT for everyone. It would avoid a bit of frustration. I also wonder why we are give two dates: 17th and 18th? Was the 17th designed as a gesture for the pre-payers? I don't know, but if so, why not say so. Until I found this thread I had no idea how or where to download the program. I think I nay have have bee expecting an email with those details in it, and perhaps a KEY code. Maybe this will happen yet! Its just a question of what to expect. . i9-11900K (5.3 GHz), 64 GB RAM (DDR4 3600), RTX 3070, 1 TB (M.2 SSD). Windows 10 Pro. Installed Sims: MSFS 2020.

I pre-ordered nearly two weeks ago and haven't seen anything to download or received anything. My MS account says it's paid and they have charged me for it. I wonder if that's odd or normal? I suppose the option will appear on the 18th? Where will I see it? Will they email me? I do remember some message during the pre-order that said "We couldn't determine which device for delivery" or something like that. I went to another tab to look up the devices on my MS account, and the one with the message simply closed and I don't know how to get it back. Why they couldn't determine the device, when it's the one I completed the order on, I can't say. Altogether a bit odd. Same for me.
August 17, 20205 yr I downloaded what looked like a pre-installer, it now says, Flight Simulator is installed, but it was only about 180mb, I've paid for the premium, Pressing play gets you, your too early, you must wait, But it also says xbox flight simulator.Having a minor panic, Can anyone confirm that thiis probably quite normal and as it's written in american it confuses. I take I'll get the rest of the download after midnight.....like waiting for Santa....ridiculous......but I have been bad 😀

August 17, 20205 yr Thanks for that Simon, I used to be qualified on Microsoft speak, to pass their exams, but not done it ages and it can be confusing. Appreciated, Dave
