Thanks. I shut it all down, inc steam and then run the game from the desktop icon. It's now downloading.

Oh please don't let them have made such a simple mistake where it only likes being installed on a C:\ drive and all the dependencies are screwed if you don't.
When it did the setup to the main download I was bit confused, it was stated c drive appdata location as directory but stating my 2tb drives remaining space? I purposely created a new folder and aimed it at that to make sure.
Let's see if it works.....

That doesnt sound good 
Definitely sounds like they jumped ahead of themselves from alpha straight to release.
Reading on another forum there is a bit of data mining going on with the program too.
Anyhow about to start downloading the Steam element will be interesting to see how that works in terms of where the files go.

You can upgrade to a different edition in game:
Not sure what the prices are from full price - I'm on game pass.
So I played for about 5 hours yesterday, data usage was around 700mb. Just installed the new Radeon drivers and I'm gonna do my first proper flight now from Southampton to Edinburgh.

Wish this would hurry up and install already, Im downloading 10GB/Hour Zzzz
It's so annoying that you couldn't download this outside the game itself. Is the download bar the one with the plane in the background and nothing else? It doesn't even tell you what it's doing, percentage or rate of download?
EDIT - That wasn't it, just didn't launch properly the first time. Had to close it and restart to get it to start the download. Starting at 8am, lets see what time it finishes
EDIT 2 - Keeps closing itself down so uninstalled and trying again. Annoying.

Well installing now, Steam element is only about 500Mb which went to the E drive, decided not to change the Asobo file location from C so dumped my Downloads file over to F.
Of course this is a bit crafty, running the main install from within the game will take more than two hours so in the unlikely event there is a major issue, no Steam refund.
Had to revive my Xbox account which has lain dormant for years, the initial sign in screen is tiny, at least on a 4K monitor. Thank goodness for screen magnifier.
Currently at 2Gb of 91Gb so time to go for a walk, get the shopping/fuel and hopefully done by lunchtime.

For me, this is going to take around 24hrs to download, but i have to have the app open sucking 50-100% GPU power and 30% CPU power plus the music playing constantly? Why couldn't steam just download the whole thing? Why cant i play other games while i wait? Stupid...
That was the very first flight I did when Horizon brought out the original photo scenery back in the day for FS98, can't believe that was like 20 year ago! I did this flight for real when I was a kid, in a Chipmunk out of Manston with the CCF and, as we lived in Dover, that's where we went.
I've had a quick look at Dover in the beta so interesting to see if it's better in the released version.

As this uses streaming data, would a fast FTTP connection make any difference to asset quality?
When mine was downloading last night if I minimised the FS window the GPU usage went up to 99%
