When FS2024 comes out next year, will you choose Steam or Windows store ... assuming it comes out on Steam too like 2022 did.
And of course, assuming you want to move to the new FS2024? Please no posts about how you wont or will, please read on ... I will, had every version since DOS and FS2.
But oh my after my recent PC build, had to start afresh, downloaded the whole Simulator again and I'm still adding my add-ons again as I type, always a slow process from MS store for me, its been a day now, 24 hrs plus, my downloads have never exceeded 2.4 MBS and my connection is quite capable of 75 MBS living near the cabinet from Sky.
Steam installs are furiously faster here.
Its not just the Microsoft vs Steam alternatives ... the MS store is still available on both versions, right?
But this new brand new FS2020 install from brand new Win 11 install too and sim seems more different than last time as well, sometimes better for the OS, sometimes more obtuse and making me jump through hoops, same for FS2020 install ???
I dont know why MS are so awkward? they do not let you have total control of Windows 11 unless you know of hacks or legitimate program workarounds like Start 11 I use ... at least some of FS2020 has to go on C:\ drive, the all important Community folder too that can get a bit bloated and would be better re-located to another larger capacity drive from within an install option at the beginning ... but no, cant be done with MS it seems.
Community folder can be moved later of course, but not without Hoops needing jumped through, lots of them.
They know about it, ASOBO have passed it on, they just dont care.
Great Simulator, bad implication.
