MSFS Preorder!

[robcap]

A mute button (Or no music at all!) would have been nice, so I don't have to listen to the same music over and over for the next 15-24 hours of downloading.....

Ah, you are going for it anyway?
So am I, next sunday.
Back into the game after I don't know how long....

Cheers, Rob

This is sure taking a while to download. It has been running over an hour. I have a 1GB fiber connection. Guess, MS's servers are being taxed.

That semi-funeral durge sounding music gets annoying after a while, doesn't it? Guess what? It also plays while the sim is loading. Need to figure out how to kill that as soon as I can.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Its not very uplifting, which IMHO it should be for such an advancement in simulation games.... Its been downloading now for 6 hours, and the music is irritating to say the least. I would turn the volume down, but I need to hear when emails come in!

If only there was a simple Mute button........

Help if you can

I pre-ordered the Premium Deluxe version. I got it from the MS store. I go to my MS account and it shows that I pre-ordered it, yet when I click it, it wants me to buy? How are you guys getting to the download link?

I just turned the volume off, Kent. I guess I will just do other things until it is downloaded...like Honey Do's.

I found it on the start menu programs list of Windows 10 and then followed my nose from there.

Guys, from what I read, you simply need to right-click on the sound icon in the taskbar next to your clock, and choose the volume mixer. You'll get one volume per running application in there. Then you can mute only the setup of MSFS, without muting the rest of your apps.

Better start downloading then...

Boss is paying for my flightsim (25th anniversary bonus) so I figured why not? Seen plenty of youtube vids first and it does look good.

Maybe it's due to where I live, but I just downloaded and installed the Premium Deluxe version in about five minutes. I went to my Microsoft Account and order history and clicked on it there and it took me to the MSFS web page and that had a Download/Install button on it for reference.

Edit: Well crap. I didn't realize all I had downloaded and installed was an App to download and install MSFS. I went to fly it and was shocked to see I still had to download it and install it. Could they have made this more convoluted? Of course, this is Microsoft I'm talking about.
