Here is another one to try.
In the Windows Search Bar type in Control Panel and click on it
Click on “Windows Defender Firewall”
Click on “Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall”
Click the “Change settings” button
Look for the following apps in the list:
Microsoft Flight Simulator
Microsoft Store
Steam
Steam Web Helper
Steam Web Helper
Store Experience Host
make sure each app has 3 ticks, 1 to the left of its name, 1 in the Private column, 1 in the Public column
Click OK
Click the X to close off “Windows Defender Firewall”
If this doesn’t work, here are a few more suggestion.
from the apps and features menu, “Reset” both the MSStore and XBox Apps.
If you are still having issues, here is a thread that may also be needed to try.
This will do nothing, do not mess with your Virtual Memory settings on Windows. The vast majority of “solutions” to fix issues with FS2020 do absolutely nothing and make no difference whatsoever as to how this game works (or doesn’t work for some). If this did do something then everybody would have to change these settings to get it to run smoothly. I was running FS2020 last night while running screen share via Spacedesk for pop out windows, FS Map Tool for mapping and Plex was streaming and transcoding Frasier to my TV, all without a hitch with FS2020 running the Eurocopter (or whatever it’s called) at Ultrawide with Ultra GFX. I have done none of these “fixes” for the game. No goofy Nvidia nonsense, no animal sacrifices… etc.
That is out and out not correct. It works extremely well for 16GB and smaller amounts of ram.
In most instances above that it does little or nothing.
I have 16 GB and I personally know the difference.
I can also also point out to you numerous other instances in here where I have advised others to do so, and it has transformed the sim for them.
The latest was just 12 hours ago.
