MSFS20 Won't Start

Featured Replies

Hi All,

Sorry if there's millions of posts out there like this,

I'm getting back into flight simming after 18 months out and decide to buy the Deluxe version of MSFS from steam, it downloads very quickly (within 5 minutes, a 500mb download) I go to start the sim and it doesn't start, has the program not actually downloaded, or is something else a miss?

Thanks in advance

No, that's just the preliminary download. The actual main download is about 90Gb.

I can't remember, as I didn't download from Steam, but if you jst go and start the game, I think it wilol take you to the download procedure.
