MSFS 2020 Updates

Featured Replies

It seemed that when ever I started MSFS 2020 the screen would show checking for updates. I don't see that any more. In the profile content, it shows that a "Core Content Mandatory Package 80.74 GIB" available to download. It says to relaunch the program to update but it doesn't do it. It also does not allow me to check the check box for it. How do I get this update. And does MSFS automatically check for updates anymore. Thanks Walt

It's been there since the alpha. There's nothing to download.

I was confused when it said to restart to load the update. Thank you for getting me back on track. Thanks for the quick response also. Walt

Glad to be of some help Walt.

You know, I didn't think of it until now, but mine doesn't say checking for updates anymore either.

No.  It seems to have disappeared after the first small patch/update a few weeks ago. 

I'm glad as it was just another bit of wasted time on the way in. 👍

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.
