Do not want to spend 4 hours downloading!! I want to buy DVD version!! Regards, Aharon 4 Hours? Must be nice! I can't do it in a month. I have owned nearly every version of FS since FS4 and I was looking forward to buying FS 2020. I have even been computer shopping to replace 11 year old laptop and 15 year old desktop but there is no point because Microsoft has no interest in selling to anyone who doesn't have the very best internet connection. My current connection only allows 85 GB a month and frequently won't support streaming video (although it has been good this last month, I am 2 days from the end of the billing cycle and have used 76 GB without downloading any software). I can throw more money at the issue and get more GB but I can't do much about the speed because of where I live. Cellular modems and satellite are the only "high speed" options available to me. Europe isn't the only place in the world with slow or no internet. The good ole USA has vast tracks of land that are that way along with some of the cities. Edited November 15, 20205 yr by Jelge

Then mount the DVD 1 by right-clicking, choose "open with" and select Explorer ... close window, that's it! Thanks a lot for this advise it's a great job for lots of people Thanks again

Unfortunately, MSFS is designed to work in Internet streaming mode.. This is not only for the initial install, but for the many updates, and frankly just for flying around. 😉 Bert
