@@RealSimGear Hi i just got microsoft flight sim 2020 and im installing the game right now it downloads but then it sudenly drops to 5mbits/s and it downloads backwards, example: im downloading and its like 200 mbits and its at 9% but then it drops to like 40 and then it goes backwards and its at 5% how do i fix that?
One of the best "opening" videos on the subject. I am really struggling with the x56 HOTAS setup in MSFS and PMDG. I have been a simmer since the original SubLogic back in 1987. Flying now exclusively with PMDG aircraft in FSX-SE for years with NO issues. NOW I have finally decided to try MSFS 2020. Nothing but headaches!! Took and 1-1/2 weeks to successfully install the program (uninstalled and reinstall). Now I have wrestling with the HOTAS setup. Looking forward to more videos from yourself in your "calm" demeanor. Everyone else sounds either not clear or too much caffeine!
I have purchased the steam version, which I'm fine with only having PC access since I only do PC, got it for 50 percent off as well. I decided to go with 2020 instead of waiting for the 2024 version.
I am sticking with FSX because I spent a lot of money from 2011 to 2018 for all the various add on scenery, airports and aircraft. Plus, I will not have to purchase a new computer for all the frame killers associated MSFS which keeps upgrading constantly. I only fly airlines anyway with PMDG and Quality Wings.
Thanks this sorted me. The bit at 2minutes 20seconds about the XBox app goes too fast. After watching it several times I discovered the reason it wouldn't download was because I hadn't installed the XBox app on my pc. Wow, XBox app!? Never heard of it. Surprisingly large too as I thought it would be a lightning install. So now I'm sitting waiting for the 135GB download to finish on my 65MB line. 😀
In 1994 I downloaded a game called air Warrior were you able to make an account and fly oldies different airplanes in war time situations considering how long ago it was, it was pretty detailed, join the squadron fly solo, go to enemy bases, but now with this new Microsoft simulator,I’ll just call Uber
I had MS Flight Sim 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 on my PC's since I started with a 286 running a blistering 12 Mhz. I was disappointed in FS 10 because of the bugs in it that MS didn't want to fix (especially the flight log not recording anything after your 10th flight). What's holding up on me getting FS2020? It should NOT take a youtube video to download and install it. It should not have to be explained. If it's something I get on Steam (of which I have a number of games) it should not be more complex than just (1) buy, (2) click install, (3) come back when it's installed and click PLAY. Account on X-box or MS shouldn't be necessary. Just play it. Like I did with the installation of FS X. Once they straighten this out, I'll give it a try.
I enjoued this video. I was really looking forward to MSFS. The graphics were the compelling factor for me as well as the price vs xplane (after all the DLC). But man, I was not prepared for the download loop. I can't believe I missed all the videos and forums on just how much time (days not hours) that people put into just trying to download the game. This is first time I've ever requested a refund from Steam. I'm bummed but glad I decided to walk away from what promises to be an abusive relationship.
@@jag1963 I'm considering the purchase of a high end gamer. (building now is not possible) I think this is the most demanding game it could play. It's going to take lots of machine. How much machine do I need?
When you commented on installing msfs on an m.2 drive did you mean a regular m.2 ssd or a faster nvme. I read a comment that an nvme is overkill and only slightly impacts load time but not other functions.
With the market place to buy the aircraft do you have to use real money from a card or game money from doing missions also do they have helicopters or just plans only.
i have been saving up for around half a year to buy microsoft flight simulator and i just got enough, luckaly i got a good gaming pc from my big brother as a birthday gift so i hope ill be able to play at the ultra graphics'
Do you recommend the curved screen that you have purchased? I’ve seen all kinds of different opinions about curve screens, and this might be the better option for me as opposed to buying three screens.
I don't think it eliminates the need to assign hotkeys to look left and right if you plan on looking around for things like landing. But it does give you more FOV than a normal size monitor, and it doesn't take up as much real estate compared to triple screens. Pros and cons to both. Depends on what your goal is!
Can someone please help me!!! I have downloaded this game off of steam, and I have been trying to download this part 3:44 for a couple of days, and it’s only at 20% ☹️
Hey there! That is certainly unusually. Have you tried cancelling/uninstalling and then reinstalling the app? I would also confirm you have enough storage space where it is downloading to. Also, Steam usually has a download speed showing in mb/s. I recommend checking there to see if it shows any errors.
@@RealSimGear Thank you so much! I will use your tips, I really appreciate you replying! I do have enough storage, I will check the mb/s. I will wait a day or so to see what it is at. If it hasn’t gone any were I will uninstall, then reinstall. If you want I can tell you how it turns out. Thanks again!
@@RealSimGear Hi there! I left it on for a whole week and it only got to 40%. I will check out other games to hopefully work, or I might download the game off of Microsoft
Hello. I don't know why but I bought the game and after choosing the installation storage, I do not see the download in progress. It stays on a page showing the game update contents and a blue line below it. It never changes! The blue line does not even loads or anything. I don't know what the sofware is doing because there isn't any textual info to tell me whether it is installing/downloading content or not.
I am retired and had a custom build high end PC built for me mainly for Flight Simulator and have been running the Game Pass Xbox trial version and have spent days trying to get it until properly installed and keep running into the same Syncing Data. I have read so many articles about how to fix with no luck. So, I want to know if just buying the Ultimate downloading and then run it mainly offline resolved many problems? very frustrated
Great video ..... Planning to update my PC before buying FS2024 and I wonder if you can make a recommendation as to the GPU and Monitor resolution. I use 4 monitors now and I will continue doing so (for work). Will FS 2024 take advantage of multiple monitors?
I got a question so I started today and I see the same for you there’s no marketplace how do you get it or is it like you have to do a Curtain amount of flights to unlock ??
Good question! Steam is sort of like a digital game store where you can purchase all kinds of different PC games, MSFS included. You also see when your steam friends are online and what they are playing. I hear it has better compression than other competitors like Blizzard or Xbox, so the game itself will run smoother and take up less space on your PC.
It appears your display takes up your full screen. My display is a box in the center of my monitor. Is there a way to make my display expand to the full screen? If not, I might as well dig out my Apple IIc, where I first flew Flight Simulator about 34 years ago.
I just purchased an upgrade pack for the piper aircraft series. It says it is installed, but there is no way to access it. What am I doing wrong? Can’t find the aircraft anywhere.
Cool video but I still don’t know what to do, what to buy or what all these different controls mean shit im a crash waiting to happen. We need a full step by step tutorial explained slowly also wanna see u fly and land 😆 sorry im just slower then others
Hey man! We’ve actually made an entire course for just this reason! Check out flightsimpro.com There is a free workshop that walks you through how to start a Cessna :)
How much extra space do you have? Sometimes downloads need extra room while it downloads before it compresses into how much space it is actually going to take up.
If you purchase it directly from their website and buy it for PC, it includes dl for console/xbox? Was thinking of getting it through steam. Currently 50% off
If you purchase through the Xbox App, then you can have access on PC and Xbox. If you purchase through Steam, then you only have access on PC. Also, be careful that you are purchasing MSFS2020. But half off sounds about right since MSFS2024 is coming out November 19th.
Sorry to hear that! I'm not sure what that could be about. I would recommend messaging MSFS's customer service or try a different route like through Steam
Hi, can you do a tut when msfs 2024 will be online, thanks (with download, accessibility settings & main menu tut, like the '2020 one), I would be grateful!
I updated my MSFS202 recently, now when I turn it on it goes all the way to page where they advertise "bush landings" and couple of other things and stays there! any ideas how to fix it? Thanks
Yikes, sounds to me like you may need to uninstall and reinstall. That usually fixes things like that. I know that can be a pain, so if you want to email MSFS's customer service they may have a better solution. Here is a link for that: flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
You guys should sell pc's with msfs already installed. Make a million. Charge for tech support. I have been thru 5 installs and uninstalls. Experienced simmer for 20 yrs. I can't get it to work. I must be in the 10% that can't get this dumb install to work. Been thru countless complicated processes.
Anyone have any advice on what pc to buy? I have absolutely no idea what the heck I’m doing. I just wanna play msfs but I don’t have a pc, monitor, nothing. Any advice at all on getting started would be appreciated
I had msfs on my xbox so I bought me a computer and I've followed all your steps but when I got to the point where I have to change its location to the local drive, it's not allowing me to. I have to create it somewhere else in a new folder. Because I want to have the 3rd part liveries.
thank you so much. i really want to get msfs so i can become a pilot and its great because i know heaps about planes and i might ecome a pilot@@RealSimGear
Steam on pc takes me straight to an x box pop up - "Sign In" - but I can't (don't have an x box account) no other info on the page, so not able to get any further. Baffled and annoyed. I'm assuming I now need to exit Steam, create an account on the ms flight sim site and then re-enter Steam to log in - or have I missed something ...?
Yeah I didn't realize it was like that on Steam where it directs you to the X Box app. It's probably similar to Call of Duty where you need an activation account to play. Hope you got it all squared away by now!!
I purchased the ' a complete guide etc' within the sim. But can't get to find it. Does anyone know where to acces the guide once it's purchased and downloaded?
oops i made the mistake of purchasing my deluxe 40th anniversary edition from amazon £79 and typically nothing in my Xbox or Microsoft libraries even though they say i own it code redeemed i can only play the standard with xbox pass ultimate theres only a limited amount of answers they all come up with and and they send me round in circles
@ yes you can, but although it doesn’t have presets, and you have to manually setup everything yourself. Can be tricky at first but super easy once you get the hang of it… just gotta set the right axis for the ailerons, elevators, and rudder once you have that it’s pretty straight forward on how to program the rest
@@NickFlauch I did have problems with my throttle at first… it was using my rudder in out for throttle and vice versa… I just closed the app and reopened and it worked flawless !!
What an incredible video for newbies contemplating their first purchase into Flight Sims Question please: how much does a newbie need to spend to get all the kit that goes with a beginner flight sim App; Given that we already have a spare 50inch tv we play our xbox on so eg how much for the yoke, and that speed lever box etc.. and where do you get them thank you
nice one im a step away from checkout just deciding whether to go straight down the middle or standard I tested the download by way of buying command & conquer remastered which took a few hrs to download I did it at night while i got a few hrs sleep first
its not possible to buy FS..i live in The Netherlands but i can not buy it....i get stuck in a screen where i have to select my country..but all i can choose..is the united states...
In your File Explorer you can right click on the different storage devices, then click on properties where you should see the useable and used storage space.
keyboard and mouse definitely works! We also have an online course that shows you how to use your sim like in real life. Check it out at flightsimpro.com
I have just received my new pc with windows 11 on it however I cannot access my email account for when I purchase my pmdg aircraft can I download the file from another device to an external hard drive then transfer to my new pc any thoughts
Sometimes the game needs extra space during the download before it compresses it to the displayed storage amount. Steam sometimes has better compressions and you might be able to download it that way
If you guys don’t have the max out pc or high end pc wich will allow this game to run perfectly I would result into the series x you don’t get all the vatsim and all the free download add on but you can but the planes in game store wich works the same
I spent a lot of money on this and even had to upgrade my computer. This sim is not, and I repeat not user friendly. If you just want to be able to enjoy the Flight Sim series, it is my advice to purchase the X version. This latest version is too labor intensive and requires the user to be practically flight trained and also be a computer guru.

Can I just get it off the Xbox app on pc?
Yes you can! That’s how I did it and had absolutely no issues even setup my vr and worked just fine…. I don’t see how many people are having issues
@ thank you!
@@KillshotRobz can you add a yoke and throttle to it?
@ yes you can, but although it doesn’t have presets, and you have to manually setup everything yourself. Can be tricky at first but super easy once you get the hang of it… just gotta set the right axis for the ailerons, elevators, and rudder once you have that it’s pretty straight forward on how to program the rest
@@NickFlauch I did have problems with my throttle at first… it was using my rudder in out for throttle and vice versa… I just closed the app and reopened and it worked flawless !!
Good video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
What an incredible video for newbies contemplating their first purchase into Flight Sims Question please: how much does a newbie need to spend to get all the kit that goes with a beginner flight sim App; Given that we already have a spare 50inch tv we play our xbox on so eg how much for the yoke, and that speed lever box etc.. and where do you get them thank you
I have a bunch of gear listed on my kit page for this. Check out: kit.co/FlightSimPro
nice one im a step away from checkout just deciding whether to go straight down the middle or standard I tested the download by way of buying command & conquer remastered which took a few hrs to download I did it at night while i got a few hrs sleep first
Perfect! Very good overview. I look forward to viewing more.
its not possible to buy FS..i live in The Netherlands but i can not buy it....i get stuck in a screen where i have to select my country..but all i can choose..is the united states...
How do I check how much of each of those storage options I have
In your File Explorer you can right click on the different storage devices, then click on properties where you should see the useable and used storage space.
@@RealSimGear I see
@@RealSimGearwhat about vram
Very helpful and well done video. Thank you.
The best I have seen yet!
Would I require to buy the physical flight simulator gear or can i use my keyboard, mouse to play
keyboard and mouse definitely works! We also have an online course that shows you how to use your sim like in real life. Check it out at flightsimpro.com
I thought there were some military aircraft you could fly. Is that in this package ? Suggestions ?

Wow good eye!!
Can some tell me on pc do we need a Xbox gamepass to play online on Microsoft flight simulator
No you don’t need it. It’s just an option to play it instead of purchasing the game out right
when u buy the flight simulator from xbox what dose zip code mean and there is choices for united kingdom when u do your address details
I have just received my new pc with windows 11 on it however I cannot access my email account for when I purchase my pmdg aircraft can I download the file from another device to an external hard drive then transfer to my new pc any thoughts
Yeah that would work! I'd probably just reset your password for the email though
I'm trying to instal it and have 153gb free on lap top. I have minimum configuration but it still says not enough space. Help?!
Sometimes the game needs extra space during the download before it compresses it to the displayed storage amount. Steam sometimes has better compressions and you might be able to download it that way
Could you do on a xbox series s
Ia this Sim still only available for PC only?
No also x box
Awesome video very helpful now i just need to find the cash to buy these lovely toys
If you guys don’t have the max out pc or high end pc wich will allow this game to run perfectly I would result into the series x you don’t get all the vatsim and all the free download add on but you can but the planes in game store wich works the same
I spent a lot of money on this and even had to upgrade my computer. This sim is not, and I repeat not user friendly. If you just want to be able to enjoy the Flight Sim series, it is my advice to purchase the X version. This latest version is too labor intensive and requires the user to be practically flight trained and also be a computer guru.
I mean by that I won’t purchase flight sim lol agin lol
Can you get airbus beluga in classic mfs?
I heard MSFS enable you to talk to ATC right?
There is external software for this. And I believe MSFS 2024 may have a new feature that enhances this without external software.
Am I able to put air line liveries on the planes that they give me for free
Do you know how to use a phone to buy a plane in msfs
I have not done it but probably through the MSFS Mobile App
i currently have an amd radeon 540x, would i be able to run it ?
