    In an attempt to get around the non functioning Game Pass app that won't allow downloads of purchased content (in this case MSFS), I started over with Steam. I purchase ANOTHER copy of MSFS through steam and attempted to run it. after 3-4 minutes (I could see MSfS burning 17% CPU in the task manager), the screen went black and the following message box appeared: "your system does not meet the minimum requirements. as a result, you may experience errors in the game". I clicked "OK" and MSFS quit. I was back at the Windows desktop and MSFS was no longer running the the task manager.

    How do I get MS Flight simulator to run???
    Setup:
    Mac powerbook pro max w/4tb storage, and 64gb ram
    windows 11 (arm pro insider review) configured with 1TB of storage and 32gb ram and 6 processors
    Parallels 17.1.1

    It's been 2 years since the latest post on this thread. Just tried MS Flight Simulator 2020 (40th Anniversary Edition) and exactly the same problem happens.

    16" MacBook Pro, 32 GB, M3 Max 14 core CPU

    I'm having the exact same issues!
    Setup: Mac Mini M4 Pro, 48GB RAM, 20-Core GPU.

    I've already tweaked the emulation settings, but no luck. Is there really no solution???"

    Hi Michael,

    This is a known issue and our Development Team have been informed.

    This is not peculiar to Parallels Desktop virtual machines as tests on a physical Surface Pro reproduced the same issue.
