September 16, 20205 yr I have limited amount of data I can download per month, so is there some way to start the sim without the need to download the patch until the monthly data allowance will be reset in a few days? If yes, how? It's not that I don't appreciate the patch, but again, my internet data is currently limited. Edited September 16, 20205 yr by Afterburner
September 16, 20205 yr Unm.. never noticed any option to skip content update (>10 GB) The app update on ms store also applied automatically for me (670 MB) Marco Manieri Perugia - Italy
September 16, 20205 yr Unfortunately no. The simulator always checks for updates as soon as it starts running, and the latest version is mandatory.

You could try disconnecting your internet connection before starting the sim and see if the system hangs trying to check for updates, or if the sim starts up. Al Edited September 17, 20205 yr by ark

Al If I disconnect the internet it can validate digital ownership and asks for a disk Wayne such Asus Hero Z690, Gigabyte Aorus Master 5080, I914900K, Kraken 360 AIO CPU Cooled, 96 GIGS Corsair DDR5, 32 Inch 4K by 3

Al I use the DVD version, and disconnecting from the internet and starting the sim with the disc inserted works with that method. Thank you for the idea!

I believe you could quit without updating, but not start the simulator until after.
