Better than expected
I'll post a full review later but just wanted to warn anyone out there that after buying the game you download a ~600MB launcher. The game itself is a ~90GB download from that launcher. The problem is, the launcher being open appears to being counted as play time, so just a heads up if you were thinking to return it if you don't like it. But, based on everything I've seen, it's clear that this is going to be a phenomenal sim, but just wanted to let people know. Also, for those of you, like me, who are installing this to a secondary drive, note that your main drive (C:\) will need to have at least 8.4GB free as it uses a "Rolling Cache" that's located in %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator Edit: Earlier I said that it “appears” that the launcher being open counts as play time. I can now confirm that it DEFINITELY counts as play time. Left machine running overnight to download and install and came back to learn that Steam thinks that I’ve been a pilot for 7 hours. Just 243 more and I’ll get my CPL! For those of you who want to leave and let it install, at least in my case, I came back and it looked as though the launcher had frozen at 15% (that’s where I left it when I locked my PC). I exited the launcher and reopened Microsoft Flight Simulator via Steam to learn it had fully installed. Important thing to note, I didn’t put my PC to sleep overnight, I just locked it and made sure it wouldn’t automatically put itself to sleep by changing the sleep setting in Windows Settings.

Worth every hour
born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore the galaxy, born at just the right time to nose dive into my ex's house with a boeing 747

Fun to travel to your house, maybe a friends house but the magic gets pretty old
Fun to travel to your house, maybe a friends house but the magic gets pretty old. Flying different planes helps the game from getting old but man is this game beautiful. I'd only suggest it if you wanna become a pilot or you wanna listen to music while zoning out while thinking about the one that got away or broke your heart. LMAO No one will ever read this review. It's an alright game/sim.
