FlyByWire only supports the installer, not the 3rd party add-ons themselves.

Please try with a VPN or warp (see bot messages below). You're having a connection issue somewhere between you and the download server.

To verify that this issue is not caused by your Internet Service Provider, please use a VPN service and try again.

We recommend ProtonVPN* as they offer a free plan.

FlyByWire Simulations | Cloudflare Warp / 1.1.1.1

If you experience issues downloading through the installer, you can try to install Cloudflare Warp / 1.1.1.1 as a tool to have a better chance at a successful download.

Why would I use a VPN? I'm in the US...

And I've never had a problem like this ever before

[errant steppe]

Your ISP might have a faulty routing. Happens quite often, even for example to the nearest Microsoft servers.

I'm not really very confortable trying to install a VPN

arent those things full of viruses?

[errant steppe]

A VPN by itself has nothing to do with viruses, but of course every software you install could potentially have a virus. A VPN just creates a tunnel so that you can connect a website through a different network and thus ISP.

Just check that you get your software from a trustful source.

But you can also install warp or manually change the DNS server to 1.1.1.1 if you feel more comfortable with that.

What does ".warp" mean?

[errant steppe]

It's a command for our bot. It sent you a message below that command.

Is there a setting in your installer to change the DSN?

[errant steppe]

That doesn't have anything to do with the installer, it's in the internet settings of your windows.

I'm about to go to bed, so I won't be around much longer. If you have more questions, someone else might step in.
