  1. I guess you are right but how frustrating not mention very expensive! Cheers
  2. I managed to get the sim up & running when it first came out but after checking for updates I am informed by the official site that i have to d/l 155 gigs! I have asked about this before but its been a while as I just haven't had the time until now. It will cost me a lot of money to re download the thing. It seems strange as I am informed I have the sim installed already by the official site. Specs; Windows 10 -64 bit/MB BIOS 1.80/Motherboard model 8450/Gaming pro Carbon AC (ms-7885)/Graphics card Radeon CX 5500TT/ 232GB space on C drive & 931GB on F drive.I must have tried to run it over 20 times & all I get is the 'Intro' with music then a check for updates then told its installed but need to d/l 155gigs which takes hours and is not cheap.Any help appreciated as I'd love to get it going again. Cheers, Rod
  3. Yep, I knew the patch would be around that size but my download & install box says I have 110gigs to d/l ! tried all the above advice, even did a system restore. I think like others, i will ask for a refund & come back later when some of the major bugs are fixed. I don't hold out much hope for the refund as it did work originally & its been a few weeks since I purchased it. "C'est la Vie". Cheers folks
  4. My problem is no longer the joystick. I sorted that as per the advice I received through the Forums etc.What i cannot do however is load the sim. It just comes up with a box saying it will download & install the sim & has a highlighted box bottom right saying 'Update'. I press that button & it starts to download 97 gig which seems to me to be the whole program again which I do not want. I just want to get the sim up & running with any & all patches. I have been thinking I may need to uninstall the program & re-install it but I need to know if I can do this without re downloading the whole thing again?
  5. I did think it may be an update but the download progress bar is on empty & it says I have 97 gig to go. I did give it 3 + hours of downloading but I believe it is trying to re download the whole game . There again, I could be wrong! I am hoping that Zendesk might throw some light on it. Thanks
  6. As posted elsewhere on this forum, I managed to download the sim after about 30 hours & was pleasantly surprised to find it seemed to work. I flew a few times for about a week but mainly tried to sort out my Sidewinder joystick inputs/functions etc. Then without warning the sim would go through the startup procedure & after the 'press any key to start' screen I would get the download & Install box saying i had 95+ gigs to download. In other words I had to redo everything. I have followed this up on Zendesk & this forum but I am getting nowhere. If I uninstall the whole program does this mean that I will have to download it all again? looking like I will be going back to X -plane very soon! I spent a lot upgrading my computer & purchasing this sim but my patience is wearing very thin indeed. Help anyone?
  7. Its certainly weird alright. Today I tried again as patch 2 is out & thought maybe it would sort it out. I left it downloading for about 3 hours but it seems to want to do the whole 95+ gigs. I am hoping to hear back from Zendesk as I can't really afford another large download. Thanks for your helpful suggestions Steve. Rod
  8. Thanks but it went perfectly well for over a week on a daily basis. I have tried to run it from the startup icon & the one from the list of applications. All I get is the music & the screen saying it will download & install. If I press the 'Update' icon at bottom right, I get the download bar showing empty & a download size of 95+ gigs. It took me 30 hours to download in the first instance which costs a fair bit on top of the purchase price. I have submitted an enquiry to 'Zendesk' (think its called that). They have acknowledged receipt of it but of course not heard a thing from them. Doubt if I can get a refund as it did download o.k in the beginning. What a frustrating disappointment! Thank you for your help.
  9. No, no deletion but tried to run as Admin but still says 97+ gig to go! In the box at bottom right corner it says 'Update'. Should i let the download go for a while to see if solves itself?
  10. I don't get it. I have been slowly getting used to this new sim & today I started it up & got the download & install dialogue box stating it will be d/l & installing 95+ gig! I thought maybe patch number 2 was out but I doubt it. So why I have i got to download all 95 gig again? help please.
  11. Cessna. Its strange as I had no problem with FS9.
  12. Hello. I am used to Microsoft Flight sims but due to problems with FSX not loading on Windows 10 I have purchased X Plane. I do like it but am struggling to find the flight Director so that I can fly on Autopilot. I have spent several hours trying to locate the autopilot panel & just don't get it. Sorry but if anyone can enlighten me, then thanks in advance.
