I am looking for support here please ipacs. The Steam site that all support for FS2 must be through you guys.

2.5 days to download the original game plus 2 dlc. Now another 2.5 days in total for the HiRes. What makes you think I don't cry?!!

Thanks but that isn't working. A bit of background info: I noticed yesterday that the opt into Beta was not ticked, so i ticked it to get the beta. When i was downloading the HiRes I saw in my Steamapps download section that it was just Scenery/Images/USA that was downloading. This morning I see in the download section that all the game files are now introduced although currently are empty except for the scenery/images which is still downloading. I don't know what effect my opting in to beta has done. Anyway I am peeved off because I want to play but steam is constantly telling me now i have to wait a day and a half. The game is already installed. I cannot play in offline mode either. As soon as i hit Pause for the download and click on either Play in Steam or try the desktop shortcut it starts to download again.
I hate Steam, always have done !!

I have been downloading the HiRes freepack for a day or so now and have been able to play FS2 with no problem.
This morning I went to play and Steam is telling me that my game will be ready to play in 1day 13 hrs. I understand that the download is going to take me a long time, but why has it stopped me from playing the game. I need advice on what settings I need to change in Steam so I can play the game while downloading the DLC. What has suddenly changed this morning?
I already have the Game installed plus 2 payware DLCs and have no problem playing before.

Here is my shot from Switzerland.

Thanks for your quick response. If the pic is "OK" then that is good.
I am downloading the HiRes now but unfortunately it will take 2 days to download due to my internet service !
When I bought FS2 from Steam I ticked for all the DLCs but it did not download the HiRes only the NE US and Switzerland DLC.
Regarding mt blurred Switzerland, this is random because I just flew an airliner from Zurich and all was good. I then exited the flight and tried a flightplan Zurich to Logarno and the scenery was blurred for quite a while then came into view correctly.
My specs are not great but here they are:
i7 at 4.6, GTX 780 with 3MB mem. X97 M Board. 16 Gig Mem

Just bought your product and so far am impressed. One comment though and it may only be me that sees it.
I was flying over Grand Canyon and noticed that some segments of the scenery below were blurred where most of the scenery was in superb resolution.
I also notice that the below scenery in Switzerland becomes blurred the higher you go. I was flying the Cessna 172 at about 7000 ft when all the textures were not in focus. My previous sims FSX and P3D rarely gave me this issue but would appear blurry if I was in a jet, but never a slow moving GA plane. It is like the GPU cannot keep up with the scenery loading. Normally if I paused the sim the scenery would then start to appear in it's correct resolution and I could continue, but never in a slow GA plane.This pausing has no effect in FS2.
What I cannot figure out is why one section for example of Grand Canyon is being displayed in all it's glory, while the next "tile" alongside is blurry but the near distant "tiles" are back to full res.
I attach a not very good pic, but I hope it shows in general what I am talking about. The front of the pic clearly shows the cliff front in full res but just behind is blurred.
