lets hope my game does now start at least.

Always crashed before going to the main menu... 😞

I wonder if this will fix my loading screen freezing...

The sim worked fine on Tuesday and Wednesday, but starting thursday, it just started freezing when trying to load at any airport, even without and addons installed.

Really hope they were able to fix the control issues...but doubt it.

Give it a rest. It's still a PC sim. They didn't take that away.

Cheers… Now for some reasonably minded sim folk to give some feedback on the issues 

[cianpars 1,165]

Not there for me and Ive just rebooted.  Launched msfs and it told me to update from the store, but there is no update.

Edit - it had just started downloading in the background on its own.  Now installed, so lets see what happens
