It's not 150GB, it's 90GB.

It shows 156GB on the MS store. Regardless of the different size, 90gb is still a big chunk of time on a 50/20 Fiber line, even more so through the very slow Windows Store servers. Wont be getting anywhere near a maxed out download as is per the norm through Windows Store.

It took me about 5 hours on a 42Mbit line. I just left it running overnight.
 
First time trying this game and it seems too taxing for my computer I have an overclocked 5700xt which I did overclock was stable done many stress tests played different games no issues but this game seems its whole new level of stress testing and it crashed it , running at high at 1440p I get around 45-60 fps doesnt feel smooth

Install size vs download size... as mentioned the download is around 91gb or something in that region.

smaller than COD!
 
Asobo download finished but helpfully goes to an uninformative black screen, though something happening as HDD light still on almost constantly.

Oh hang on just gone to a bigger black screen...

This is good stuff, worst installer ever!
 
All up and running, did the first training flight. Game chose medium settings which seem good enough over Sedona, maybe more tweaking later to squeeze a few more FPS.

No drama evident from the GPU or CPU.

Possibly need to desensitise the control input a bit as my Logitech 3D Pro definitely twitchy.

Anyhow real world now intervening (wife wants a walk) but so far, yep not too bad.
 
VPN and remote desktop into my PC from work to keep an eye on it. It started at 7.45am, it might just be finished in time for when I get home! 30mb connection certainly shows its age doing this type of thing.

I don't have COD installed for that exact reason, it's bonkers how big the COD directory gets with the constant updates. I mean, it's big enough out of the box. Must be over 200GB now.
 
What a disaster this is from gamepass. Crashes galore then you need to run as admin and delete folders as it gets stuck on a blue bar then you get debug errors download at 20gb then 50gb I gave up at this point not that bothered about it tbh. If i had paid for it i would be raging.
 
Has anyone managed to set up a HOTAS?

Cannot for the life of me get my X52 to work properly - It acts like a Dpad, all or nothing type of scenario....
 
I'm having issues with downloading, it just stops, have to restart pc, then start flight simulstor, close it as it crashes, restart it, it then lets me play without all files, I then have to repair it and it then starts downloading again for about 5gb.
 
Finally got it downloaded. Pretty choppy at 4k but I jumped in a Bonanza and flew out of East Midlands and checked out the house. It's really nice to have easily readable ground detail for VFR flight anywhere on the globe. Flys alright on a controller too.

Sounds seems pretty borked though, it does weird things to my sound controls, makes volume mixed stop responding.
