Jacques.Delmelle Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I have ordered Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 for PC. It will be available for download on the 18th of August. It needs 150 Gb of space on disk. I wonder if it will be possible to install it on any disk or on the C:-drive only. I have limited free space on C: (40GB), but a lot of free space on E: or F:... Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yes, you will be able to install it on any disc where you’ve got space. There will be small download first (which will go on your c drive) .. & then the main installation, for which you’ll be able to browse/select a location Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

DaddyTim Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hi. A related and hopefully not a "dumb" question. When I pre-ordered MSFS2020 yesterday, I received a confirmation message and on the top right side of the message, there was a link that stated, "Download/Play". I clicked on it, but could do nothing with it, so presumably that's because I need to wait until August 18th. Does this make sense and has anyone else experienced this? Thx.

g7rta Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 When I click it, it says “you’re too early†(or something like that) Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

zswobbie1 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Indeed it does. As it is being launched on the 18th, you obviously cannot play or download it until then. Pre-ordering does not let you jump the q! Robin Cape Town, South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
