To revise me review, Steam has made a statement that download time will not be counted. With that in mind, this simulator does almost everything advertised. There are some locations that simply are not available, but they're extremely remote. Places you wouldn't think to go unless you were testing the limits of the sim. Other than that, I plan to use this as a replacement trainning tool, happily removing X-Plane 11 from my list of sims. It feels more natural, and allows greater on the spot control. Keep in mind, you need a beasty computer for it.


OBSOLETE-Download time after the initial "download" is guaranteed to be well over 2 hours, all spent "in game." You will not be able to refund this in the event of issues, or if you simply dislike it. I got in, and I'm happy to announce that I really love the game. But for people who are unsure, I'd keep an eye out. The mixed response and reviews will hopefully be enough for Asobo to attempt to fix this issue. Either refund time needs to be extended to 2 days, as the download time can take up to 24 hours, or they need to put the scenery installation in with the initial download. For some reason it verifies with your Xbox account before the download too, so there's a chance Microsoft is forcing their hand. In that case, I don't imagine anything will change. I love this simulator, but Microsoft should be dismantled along with every other corporation of similar size. Good game, but for now, I cannot recommend.-
