Was really hoping this patch would have been released quite a bit earlier, but at least it means that everyone should be able to play and enjoy the simulator now. That was the highest priority, and now that it's out of the way we can start looking forward to other improvements now.

THANK GOD!

Patch deployment is up to the developer/publisher, not Valve.

I'll rephrase then. Steamworks is pretty well known for working to Valve time.

It's meant to be in jest but you see it time and time again.

Sim been out for 2 weeks only!!  What exactly is “earlier” in your book??

For Steam users, will patches come via Steam or via the FS launcher?

If it's like the MS store, there will be an update to the EXE and base files via steam, and then an update within the sim itself.

The size of the patch does NOT denote the time and efforts to fix any of those bugs.  How do you know from a deep technical level what each of those fixes actually entails???  Sick of the constant doom merchants like yourself to be honest. To release a patch of any kind two weeks after release is bloody good going in my book!!

Heh, they're being edgy over on the official forums too:

Just stirring the pot I guess.

Two weeks for 100+ software developers to get a 333mb patch out the door. Well done lads, well done indeed. Absolutely brilliant work going on there.

I think you are not a developer. If course, I can be wrong.

But its multi platfrom game and multi store game. So two weeks is not bad, but its not very fast. It's quite normal cycle. 
Its ok to be not happy, but it does not mean anyone else could done it so much faster. 

live weather wind issue is still there 😞

Well there you go, the mother of all patches. someone is probabably developing a weather program that works and some live traffic that works, it wil only cost us another 100$ or so.

Are you surprised? There's no suggestion it was being fixed today.

For Steam users, your Content Manager in-game will show a 79GB+ update with a comment stating that you need to restart in order to update this...but when you restart the game nothing happens...still the same thing showing in the Content manager.

Will wait it out a bit...but if i have to reinstall jusat to get this update...hehe, I wont be bothering with it.

333 MB is actually a crazy amount of software code (like 5 million "words" minus all the packaging overhead). A 10 GB patch is providing new AV assets (textures, sound files, complex meshes, etc) rather than just bug fixes.

TL;DR - I agree!

I was hopeful!

It's been showing that for everyone for like a week, even Windows Store users.

I just hope people realize that griping on Avsim won't get your sim fixed any faster.  Believe me, it has been tried!
