August 23, 20205 yr I had no problems downloading at all...took about four hours and was up and flying at 5am for my first flight. No crashing or stuttering...getting about 60 fps at ultra max settings (recommend for my system during the setup) One would expect as much since Steams whole business is digital distribution ie downloading games. I also have aerofly fs2 and DCS on steam and have never had any issues either...set it and forget it. Edited August 23, 20205 yr by Aceman2020
August 23, 20205 yr I had the opposite experience with Steam. I purchased the Premium Deluxe, but after the install, it did not have the extra content. Many people experienced the same issue. I requested a refund , then I purchased it from Microsoft instead. The install was fast and flawless. All content was available, and everything worked well.
August 23, 20205 yr Don't think where you purchased is a barometer for most issues. Downloaded from the MS store in an hour and have no issues. Semper Fi
August 23, 20205 yr Whether you buy it from Steam or from MS Store, the download process is identical (it's all done through the Asobo launcher.)

How can you check if you got all the content? What was missing, planes or handcrafted airports? Glad to hear that for most people it was seemless as well. I can't wait for VR version!

August 23, 20205 yr I got mine on steam. Started my download around 12:10 AM EST on launch day and was playing around 1:15 or so. Was quick and flawless for me. We do have gigabit fiber internet though. I did have the missing Premium Deluxe Content though but still played with the base aircraft since I knew it would be fixed. 5700X3D 64GB DDR4-3600MHz Gigabyte 4070 Super Game installed on 980 PRO Main display Gigabyte M27Q X 27" 1440p 240Hz
