• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Just click on the fs2020 shortcut that was loaded into your pc as part of the preorder process. If it launches, you are in. Prior to the 18th, it gave me a message box that I was too early.
 
Think I've got it. It "seems" to be downloading & installing now. Pretty weird music too.
Thanks for the help.
 
The download is being pushed out by timezone also. Until your timezone goes active you can't start the download.

I have to wait until I can leave my laptop at a friends house to do the download. I simply put can't download more than 15GB in a single month without getting throttled. once throttled it would take me years to download 130+ GB.
 
The core program according to Aerosoft is 90GB. I believe that is without the scenery and aircraft. I saw an article the other day that stated "you will download 137GB but there will be more".

The 90GB in disc form would be hugely helpful for everyone world wide. If you are buying it get the disc from Aerosoft.

I wish (and I am not alone) that I could get them here.

Indeed, I wish the same - in fact I could've got the disc version had I waited a day before pre-ordering. At the point of pre-ordering I didn't know that was an option!!
 
I have 95.15 Gig (I believe). It went smoothly, all 7-8 hours of it. I got a message saying I don't have the minimum computer requirements to run the program. And that's after I had my computer upgraded to the max. configuration to handle it. I believe that we have a whole new ballgame with this version.
