As in-game download fills two-hour window, and then some.
Microsoft Flight Simulator owners have called for the game's two-hour Steam refund window to be extended or dropped entirely, after spending all of it waiting for the lengthy in-game installation to complete.
The problem here is that the bulk of Microsoft Flight Simulator's 150GB download is done through its in-game launcher. After an initial download, this client handles the majority of the game - and takes some time.
As soon as this launcher begins downloading, Steam's metric for tracking how long you've played begins counting.
"I just downloaded Microsoft Flight Simulator on an uncapped 500MB connection and it took three hours," Eurogamer reader Ollie told me. "I was surprised to discover when I closed the download window that Steam had logged that as three hours playtime. I guess the download does happen in-game client so I can see how this happened."
Garry's mod creator Gary Newman was one of those who took to Twitter to suggest Steam extend the refund timer for the game:

I'm not seeing the suggestion people want to refund the game based on its sizeable download (its overall download footprint is stated upfront). It's more that if people did want to refund the game after actually playing it, they are no longer able to.
Numerous Steam reviews now mention this fact in their feedback. The game currently has a "Mixed" user rating overall.
It's a shame - as the game itself is excellent, according to Eurogamer's Martin Robinson.
"Over the past month or so, Microsoft Flight Simulator has sent me on a spiral of discovery, exploring the world as well as the often mundane, frequently magical detail of air travel, my appreciation of what Microsoft and Asobo have achieved growing all the while," he wrote in Eurogamer's Microsoft Flight Simulator review. "When it all comes together, this thing can be as uplifting as flight itself."
