Sorry to hear that you're both having problems with MSFS 2020. I've had some minor problems with it, but nothing like what Lou has had. Even though it isn't perfect, I still find it very good/enjoyable for flying around in, especially because of the realistic scenery. So far, I haven't purchased any 3rd Party addons, other than "buying" the AS Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport, which was free.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and I wish you all a Happy New Year. May 2021 be a better year for you all.
