Thats what I figure it out as.

I have to says you guys are going to be so impressed.  I have done a few alpha and betas before  but every time there was an update I had a wow moment. Today I uninstalled the beta, but can't wait for the release

Only if you have it on ms store, otherwise steam is

If you purchased the simulator via Steam, you will be able to download at 04:00 UTC ( August 18, 12:00am EST) universally across all countries

Which is 5am bst.


Sorry

Well, I'm in download hell it seems.  All night and its not moved on.  Zero activity on the Ethernet as well.  Something funky is going on.  @Sparko, any luck with yours?

try restarting, the steam version buggged out twice, but after that it sailed trough, spent the last hour flying around my house.

Also be aware that orbx have released london scenary as the default was pants, it is only 7 pounds  and london city airport is 10. also innsbruck is 14 pounds.

Also MSFS are giving away stuff in the 1st week so keep an eye on twitter etc

Cheers for that Sulky, I had to restart my machine and router.  DL seems to be progressing well now.  I bought direct from ms.

Finally up and going.  It's fantastic.  Been waiting for this for years!  Hopefully we can get some MP going.
