"How can you release a flight sim in 2020 without VR support? :veryangry:" :lol:

If it's not doing boom, I will wait until you guys come back with some experienced reviews, maybe there is something in there for me, too?

Have fun! :hi:

Great, app is stuck after splash screen. After seeing all the logos I get a screen with the Daher TBM 930 and a prompt to press any key. After I press the any key, the screen goes black, loading, and again the prompt to press any key.

I tried the troubleshooter, but still not working.
Installation size is 0.98Gb, so maybe it's a server-side problem and the installation service is overloaded. Try again next week...

I had that. Kept trying and it finally worked. I put it down to overloaded XBox auth servers. ... However when I finally got it working, I actually think it was down to a resolution mismatch, i.e. there was a horizontal mismatch between where FS2020 *thought* I was clicking and where I was actually clicking. If you are running at any fomr of high res (I'm on 3440X1440) you will notice the tbm screen is a low quality windowed image blown-up to fit your screen. Anyway, I noticed that if I had my mouse about 3 cm to the right of the button, they would suddenly highlight and be interactive... Maybe worth pursuing?

Cheers Donks. I don't even get to use the mouse, stuck at 'press any key' screen, so maybe the authentication server is overloaded. I tried logging in on the xbox companion app, which also gave me an error, backing the above suspicion.

But I did notice the resolution not fitting, so I'll try downscaling the native res to 1080p and see what that does...

Give me a VL-3 immediately.

And also win10, so I can install this seemingly restrictive software... :P
