"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" the sim is running perfectly fine, and I see no reason to install this. I'm on the Steam version.

Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.
Is there a way to run FS2020 without installing SU5?

You can disconnect the internet or run a firewall and temporarily disable msfs from going online. Steam will start in offline mode and msfs wont be able to connect ( MSfs doesnt care if steam is online or offline it is a separate process ). It works on steam well enough, some ( I am one ) have noticed that almost every 45 seconds there's a stutter. This is MSfs trying to get on the internet its the handshake between timewait/established/failure to the akamai and amazon AWS web services. If you are only testing it isnt an issue but might be super annoying should you want to fly. Test it out you might be one of the lucky ones that this stutter doesnt happen to.
However eventually you will need to update. Hold off as long as you can as there are a large number of people having issues ( I am ) with CTD at the fly now button. You can find that out on steam forum as well as the official forum. I cant elaborate any further at the risk of sounding uncivil, but with a large sector of the PC market having the same issue I suspect there maybe a further patch in the pipeline.
Hope this helps.
You can only run without updates if you never go online. The reason that the updates are mandatory (my theory anyway) is that there has to be compatibility with their end of the online data exchange.
