I downloaded the the X Plane 11 Demo for Windows, directly from x-plane.com, but the application fails to launch.
I ran the installer as an Admin, turned off Windows firewall while installing, and turned off virus protection while installing. I installed the sim to the default location.
I have tried uninstalling / re-installing several times with no luck.
I have also tried to run the sim, as an administrator, without success.
My system is an Intel i7 8700K with 32GB of RAM and a GeForce 1080 Ti video card.
I've been a 'FlightSimmer' since MSFS 5.1 going back to 1995, but I am brand new to X Plane.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
