Wow, very noticeable increase in performance with this update! I am now getting 38-40fps in 1440p Ultra settings!

How are you even supposed to download this patch? Update seemed to be going well and it reached 9gb only to be reset back to 4gb. It’s going to be a long night!

I was just reading the msfs forums and the consensus there seems to be similar to yours. Better performance.

I jumped to about half a dozen airports and never lost the winds. Everything worked as it should have. Weird

Anyone with problems with FlighPlans?

My A320 no show flightplan on FMC.

I finally figured out how to find updates in the MS Store. Downloaded the patch in less than a minute. Have to love Fios 1G ethernet.  🙂

Updating now.

I have updated through steam which is just the 500 or megabytes for the launcher but didn't get any downloads ingame. I did check the Content Manager and checking all boxes prompted a 5 gig download. Game crashed as it was working that out though. Launched a second time and that triggered the download. So if you're having trouble probably try to relaunch a few times or try updating the content manager packages. You should be downlaoding about 15 gigs on the launch page normally. In my case i have the premium deluxe.

That was very useful. Followed your procedure and now updater kicks in. Thanks

After the update, flight plans do not appear on Avionics and FMC. 
 

Someone with the same problem?

I have no idea how to update the sim.

When I try to launch the sim I get a message to update the sim in the MS Store before launch. I'm redirected to the MS Store and been watching the trailer for an hour, I see no link to a installation manager nor update. Can someone explain is suppose to happen if the servers are not boinked.  Thank you.

There is a little right arrow, it almost looks like a play button. Push this and it will download the first part then start msfs and it will then download the big update.Grab some lunch.

Can someone load CYZX and see if it crashes for them? It's crashing for me.

I had to press a small arrow at the top on the right to start the download. Ah someone beat me to it!

So it downloaded some 20gb, decompressed few things and went back to 5gb just to keep on downloading another huge file... why is it so long and chaotic ?
