I feel your pain being in the same boat here. I gave up trying to download a non existent download and went flying in the old version. I'm beginning to wonder why I even bothered buying the new version.

One reason I didn't buy direct from MS was the fact that it said my CC details would be stored if I went ahead with the purchase. That sort of storing of info is something I reserve for those stores that I use a lot. One off purchase, no chance. As for MSFS2020. currently its been a total wipeout and I haven't even got off the ground yet, let alone a download. All I get is pending, 'starting download' and here 36 hours later, still nothing from MS. I really do wish I'd gone for the DVD version. So it would have cost £10 more but at least I wouldn't be wasting my time waiting for a download that might or might not happen. Currently I feel the victim of a big scam by MS. And before you go on about PC specs, latest version of W10, Rysen 3900X and have just been playing online games (WoW) that works without any issues. Simple fact is MS fouled up. Everything else on this PC works without any issues whatsoever. I really do wonder though why they bother with Alpha and Beta testing judging by some of the issues some are reporting. I think I should have remembered what happened with the previous release of FS, many moons ago. That didn't go too well either with patches etc being rushed out.
