Hi Cobalt, if I do as you have suggested it works. However, this afternoon I have been moving file directories around and redirecting where files are saved and so far, good news, have just flown a C17 from RAF Brize Norton to RAF Marham with no issues at all, other than not being able to turn the battery master switch off to end the flight and get it logged 🙄

UPDATE: I have tried all of your suggestions, but again to no avail 😢 The SIM has been completely uninstalled, reinstalled and this time I have managed to get the SIM to load up quite quickly, asked to Press Any Key to start and accept various settings, however, after selecting a departure airport and destination airport and then hitting the Fly button I now have the Blue Bar frozen. Ctrl/Alt/Del, ended SIM, restarted SIM, disconnected internet at start screen, loaded departure from London City to London Heathrow, Cessna 152, Flight has loaded fine and I am now 6.61 NM from landing. So happy to be flying again, but confused as to why the flight will only load with the internet disconnected? Any ideas folks?

Hello everyone, my name is Neil and I bought MSFS2020 when it was released back in 2020. All was good until my PC died and I got a new one and decided to install the Simulator on a dedicated ssd due to its large file sizes. Everything worked for a while, updates were successfully installed and caused no problems until the latest one. The sim will open, I select Profile, Content Manager, and click "Not Installed", "Select All" and things progress very slowly until everything comes to a grinding halt. I will admit that I have done the usual and trawled the internet for help but to no avail, I submitted a ticket to the Zendesk and was given a generic answer to follow to revert the sim to its "Vanilla State". I was asked to, "DELETE THE CONTENT.XML FILE & .DAT FILES" but can't locate them anywhere so I am either being stupid or as I read somewhere else that they don't exist in later revisions? Is there anybody who could give me an idiots' guide on how to get my sim flying again please, I love this product but have now spent 5 days trying to get flying and am now at the point of uninstalling everything and giving up. Please help Thanks in advance Neil
