Probably it was the Update Australia - where for since the beginning of 2020 flight sim - MS used a Bing 2013 Sat - and now after the update - I can see my house - lived in since 2014 - at last - instead of a building site😃

Got that !! - and actually been there a few times😃

That's why I love it cause I'm an old pilot😁

Jack - Snip and Sketch in your windows default aps - couldn't be any easier and capture videos as well

this solved my bandwidth problem

After months of similar endings - I found My solution - maybe you will

Yes !

obviously - there must be a reason why this is so - just not to me? I thought I placed the TIP in the most logical place - since I was not the only bloke on AVSIM that had this problem with 2924 maybe some kind moderator would place it where it might be useful to someone else

Just for curiosity - why was my topic locked?

Most of the regulars are well aware of the problems I have had for some months just getting 2024 into my PC despite countless installs and uninstalls Quite a number of people have made suggestions - and I have scoured all over for an answer - even those put forward by Microsoft would not help me For the record - yesterday - I came across a suggestion that changing the "Host" - whatever that means? - might fix this problem faced - by others before I followed the attached URL ------ and 2024 -- loaded straight away in 30secs for the first time👍 How to reset the Hosts file back to the default - Microsoft Support. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-reset-the-hosts-file-back-to-the-default-c2a43f9d-e176-c6f3-e4ef-3500277a6dae YeeeHah !!!!!

as an ex Brit - the Britania would be nice - but I still prefer the Viscount for a local legend I was on the Viscount - that left Munich - just before the crash of the Friendship that killed so many of the Manchester United playersWe were on our way to Cyprus - and heard about the crash when we landed in Athens A Viscount and a Friendship are also at Duxford

apparently - when this finally comes out - we in Australia will not be able to view it even if we download the ap - "daily wire"

Not exactly a jet - but the Viscount as one of the most succesful International aircraft - would be a winner

Having read the 4 pages diligently - to see if I could glean anything that might help me and my conclusion is that - In a way - I am so glad that for the life of me - after 5 days of trying I cannot simply install - or use 2024 - beyond the infamous 97% - and since many $$ have been spent on 2020 - it looks as if it is here to stay with this old bloke This despite a myriad of help from all sources - including MS -- what is constant - is that they say my bandwidth "is too low" but it's 100 Mps - hard wired - the recommended minimum!. This all on PC - but I also have an X Box on which it starts up without any probs. and downloaded and running on a WIFI connection - but all my expensive hardware is on PC

Good thinking - But - how could we buy it when that is the problem with MS purchases

Same here - MS has lost 4 aircraft and 1 scenery purchase from me I think it has something to do with - although the credit card they have - has been used many times - it doesn't work now because the system seems to come to a halt when MS check with the bank - which either shows a break down with MS talking to the bank - or a glitch in the system I just wish they would get it sorted out - it's been going on for some time It might be just an Australian problem - in my case - the ANZ

I have been having the same problem for my last 4 attempt's to purchase 4 aircrafts It stops at a black screen

this suggestion was contained in this video -https://youtu.be/s8W5wlJ0w3Y - but I dont have either of the files - and despite trying everything suggested for 4 days -it stops install at 97% - on a virgin 2 TB SSD - ie no community or marketplace - and yes I have been to MS Help I'm 90 next week and just dont need this hassle after waiting 7 months for a decent SU 3 and never installed before

Thanks for that - no luck - all OK with both time and place and how we Aussies speak😁

Just about everything that the OP said - except that despite 30 plus hours of trying tget 2024 into my computer - I still haven't succeeded to even get the short time to play the word not allowed thing as the OP seems to have done I have tried to install it on a completely - new - formatted SSD 2TB - ie no previous install - no community - no marketplace - only Asobo defaults as installed that are in the download Have uninstalled - reformatted - reinstalled 3 times with nothing past 97% - even after leaving it for 2 hours - and like the OP - have examined every suggestion on MS forum and elsewhere What is strange - is that - in the xbox Ap - I can play 2024 via the Cloud ??

Thanks - looks as if I want it - use the old saying:- : if at first - you don't succeed - B$5^7y well try again !:

Thanks quite a few times inside X Box ap - and via store ap

It looks as if 2024 will not be my sim since despite many hours trying to get it to open beyond 97% is beyond me on my PC All pointers were to the community files - of which I have none and since sim wont load - no probs with marketplace either - nor any downloads from this source. I once had it on my X box - but uninstalled ages ago - could it be that PC is trying to sync with x box

First install on virgin SSD 2TB so no community file 2020 is on a separate SSD as is community file

finally decided to give 2024 a go - downloaded OK - I think - but start up is stuck at 97% which seems to have been a problem in the early days - when restart was suggested as the answer - uninstall and reinstall was no answer then - so haven't tried that Have done that 4 times - closed down and restarted - no luck still stuck Any more suggestions to help a 90YO ?🙏
