Wouldn't it be possible that Microsoft purposely did this by time zones to lessen impact on the servers? I'm going with this

 

Thank you.

That's what I was thinking.  The time zone trick is an old one.  I figure they just let it slide and can spread the server load out a bit.

Only way I've seen is to join the Game Pass. Did that and I got passed that point. However, I'm stuck at 9.8gb for hours. Killed it, restarted it, no go. Rebooted my computer, restarted it, no go. I think I'm giving up my citizenship for Kiribati and waiting till my timezone comes. Hopefully I'll get the download moving then.

Earlier someone said they did a standard install first and that worked. Apparently they thought it was caused by installing to a non default drive.

Man I’m trying to stay positive with all of this but I got up at midnight as required (I’m in Australia) to try and start my download and got the goddam ‘insert disc’ notification even though I waited until the right time. I tried again just in the last hour before having to got to work and still the same message. So is Microsoft saying they have stopped letting people who pre-ordered and waited for the correct time from downloading? I have to say what a waste of time with the whole pre-order thing, I now have to wait eight hours before I get home to sort this mess out. Congrats to everyone who has been able to start downloading, like I said I’m trying to be positive but it’s hard lol

I noticed when I was pre-ordering, it said something like "with Game Pass", and I ended up with the "insert game disk" error when I... uh... got off the plan in Kiribati. I took the $1 1 month trial of Game Pass, and the disk error went away. Then I got stuck at 9.8GB for hours, even after trying to reset, so I came back home from Kiribati. Maybe Game Pass is required? (which seems odd)

Available in your timezone in Atlanta? Are you sure? Or are you at your second home in Kiribati like so many of us? 😉

I'm just so tired of waiting for this. I mean, I'm spent.

I feel your pain. I wasn't expecting to be so desperate to get my hands on it having played with the alpha & beta for months, but I really can't wait to see the polished release and get back in the sky.

Glad to reprort it now works.

Having said that, when the screen finally appeared asking where i wanted to install (if other than C drive), I pointed it to another drive which has a greater capacity (with a User folder in it) and I'm not seeing a download progress bar anymore. 

Not even sure it is downloading.

Please insert the microsoft flight simulator game disc pops up, when I go to the game via microsoft store. Any ideas?

Are you installing it on a disk distinct than C by any chance?
