Mine is a story of frustration and disappointment. I am (or I should say, trying to) run MSFS 2020 on PC Windows 10. My pc spec is well above minimum requirements etc. Having installed MSFS 2020 to my D drive I have had many hours of flying fun, but now, as far as i am concerned, it's just not worth the bother. Some time ago I downloaded and installed the update before the New Zealand one, and the sim wouldn't work anymore, i can't remember the exact problem I was having, but it was a loading problem. To be fair though, within about a week an automatic download (the ones you don't have to download yourself) came along and sorted the problem. MSFS 2020 worked again and I was flying once more 😊 About 6 weeks or so ago the New Zealand update came, and after downloading it i just couldn't get past the Activities screen on load up. After trying many things, from blogs and posts etc., I gave up, hoping that another automatic download would come and sort it out, just like it did the last time. And yes it did, 2 days ago, hey presto it did the trick, I was flying again 😊 But the Antarctica update came too, and when i tried to download that, my woes started yet again. I managed to download about half of the 11. something GB of file/s but it wouldn't download the last 5. something GB of file/s. I think we have all seen that, it gets so far then drops back etc etc. over and over again. 😠 (I am so glad I am not charged by the Gigabyte from my internet provider.) So today, I have tried to start MSFS 2020 to either have a fly around, or to try to download the rest of the Antarctica download, but no. It is now crashing much earlier on start up, not long after the "Insert Disk One" prompt. ( I am sure it has nothing to do with the disk by the way). I give up 😡 I am so glad I only bought the standard version of MSFS 2020, I won't waste any more money on it. I am just so glad I have X-Plane 11, and if I spend any more money, it will be on X-Plane 12, I can assure you of that.
