Thought I would fire up the old MSFS to have a quick flight. Oh, no! Need to download a patch. Oh! No, Stuck in a download loop. Oh well, just shut her down and fired up DCS. And my attachment to this sim drifts further away. I used to think Xplane was annoying, with the load times and the myriad of 3rd party addons and plugins that were necessary for a functional experience, but at the end of the day, I actually got to sim even if it took 10 minutes to get it started. How many of us are just slowly drifting away from MSFS because of annoyances…I wonder?
Installed one sim last night from backup.
Do another tonight.
Would t have to do this if I didn’t have to wipe Windows to get Msfs to install.
I can’t agree more !!
I stopped using the MSFS and slowly drifting away from the sim going back to P3D!!
yes the sim is pretty, but I am a serious simmer and I am tired of patches,updates and fixes.
I am experiencing CTD! when trying to fly from most third third party sceneries purchased from marketplace.
I will stop from further investing my time and money on the sim till all fixed and the flagship aircrafts vendors come to MSFS.
I never understood this kind of behaviour.
If I don’t enjoy a game, I just stop playing it and move on or maybe return later. I don’t linger in the community to announce such…

Some people thrive on drama!
I just came to the community to see what kind of typical responses would come. I would really like to see how many in the community have simply moved on or went back to other sims? Clearly you can’t argue with the disappointment and incompetent development team? Discuss, please!
Not really buddy. Its really too bad that so many people will give this company a pass. Maybe if more users didn’t simply just roll over for developers when they’re clearly in over their heads, we wouldn’t have these types of threads?
Thanks for your opinion.
We want to make these forums a positive environment for you to discuss Microsoft Flight Simulator related topics, and to give us your feedback on the sim.
Recently the team has received a number of complaints about the negative atmosphere on the forums. These complaints stem from excessive negative non-constructive posts.
These posts do not provide meaningful information that helps in the development of the simulator. Instead, these topics are often duplicate an existing topic and create conflict that usual require moderator intervention. These posts hurt the atmosphere of the forums, which drives some of our community away and may prevent others from joining.
We value constructive criticism about MSFS as it helps the developers further understand, triage and resolve problems within MSFS.
Take the following example posts:
Non-Constructive
The ATC in this simulator is â– â– â– â–Constructive
ATC’s altitude instructions are awful. I was on a flight from KSFO to KDEN in an A320N, when ATC cleared me for descent below the minimum safe altitude. If I stayed at a safe altitude it would cancel my IFR clearance and my approach, so I followed their instructions leading to a crash on the side of a mountain.ATC needs to take the terrain into account when issuing clearances!
The non-constructive example (top) provides no meaningful information, no one will be able to understand, reproduce or document the issue, and therefore the issue cannot be resolved.
We ask that you consider this going forward. We continue to welcome criticism and complaints so long as they are constructive in nature. You can read more about our policy change here.
