I wasn't sure if it needed to me "MSFS" but I guess in will not matter.

No network activity from what I can see. Seeing all Steam provided was the installer, I call this a fail. That happened to me too. After browsing to my "FS2020" custom folder for install it sat there for like 10 mins with no internet or disk activity, so I killed it with X on top right, ran installer again, when right back to about 20% progress bar of plane out of KSFO after few mins of nothing again clicked X in top right to kill it again. On 3rd run this time it came up allowing me to click "proceed" to install with my custom install directory (FS2020) one I did that then it started unpacking/downloading. Whew....
August 18, 20205 yr Author I have Steam installed on my pc and I'm never asked to "sign in" after I buy a game and install it. You 1) buy the game, 2) the game shows up in your steam library, 3) clicking the "install" button will install the game into the specified folder. 4) after installation, steam sometimes installs additional files. Done. For those who've been able to download the game, are you then asked to install additional apps like the xbox apps?
August 18, 20205 yr Strange. I did not type in any new folder name. A folder "Chucky" is created for MSFS inside "Common" folder. kklee6 [email protected], ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4, Noctua NH-U12S, G.SKILL 32GB Kit F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC Trident Z Neo RGB DDR4 3600MHz, SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD 1TB, WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD 4TB, Inno3D RTX 4080Ti, Cooler Master V750 Gold 750W PSU, Win11 Pro, Dell 24" 2408WFP 1920x1200 30 , Fulcrum One Yoke, MFG Crosswind V2 rudder pedal, Saitek Throttle Quadrant, Logitech Cessna Trim Wheel, Saitek Multi Panel, DIY Cessna 172 Radio stack (via Arduino/MobiFlight), Air manager V5 on 10" 1920x1080 monitor

If you have ever bought a game from Ubisoft or EA from steam it can have a separate launcher (UPLAY, ORIGIN) where you will have to sign in. Its not to uncommon.

I was kinda hoping it would download off steam, Atleast that way we could see the download speed. Mine seems to be capping off at my normal speed though.

Notice so that it's unpacking after each part is downloaded as the MS dl'er says its downloaded 980mb so far by the FS2020 folder has 1.3gb of files in it (I have slower internet connection heh).

Mine was pretty fast until I hit about 9-10GB. Now I'm only up to 11.5GB but it seems to be downloading aircraft now...

August 18, 20205 yr I had to cancel the download three times before it gave me the official Microsoft "Where do you wanna install" I completely wiped my SSD in anticipation, so you need to have a subfolder named for it. Thats all my tricks. Its working now and downloading at a nice clip. Hope it helps. TLDR; Quit the screen if you see the blue bar and Microsoft hadn't asked you where you wanna install.
August 18, 20205 yr Anyone have an issue where the installer says "decompressing fs base" and it seems stuck at this point?
